The survey results were used to rank the three methods based on theirefficiency for the students. It is worth mentioning that with today’s technology one can utilize advanced mathematicalsoftware to find the derivatives of a complex function numerically or symbolically. However, theobjective of this study was to measure the impact of these two new techniques on enhancing theunderstanding of uncertainty analysis for a group of junior undergraduate engineering students.PROPAGATION OF UNCERTAINTY In this section, the three approaches

Funding for interdisciplinary research hasrisen as agencies pour resources into avenues that will enhance their global competitiveness [1].In the context of U.S. undergraduate engineering education, the Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) has required that students meet outcome 3.d which is theability for graduates to function on multidisciplinary teams [2].
