Properly developed, these modules will enable faculty to efficiently incorporate these tools into such classes. - For classes where significant time is invested on a particular CAE package(s), well-constructed modules will allow faculty to “offload” software-specific questions, freeing more time for higher-level discussion. - As engineering software becomes increasingly advanced and

Students correctlysolved many basic problems such as converting a 2’s complement binary number to decimal,completing combinatorial timing diagrams, and converting a logic diagram to a Booleanexpression. Most students could accurately describe the functionality and use of basic logicgates, medium-scale integration (MSI) components, and flip-flops, although almost uniformlystudents could recall only D- and T-type flip-flops. Furthermore, most students correctly solvedproblems based on simple algebraic identities, basic MSI designs, and designs using two-inputlogic gates.Nevertheless, we identified the following student misconceptions:Karnaugh Maps: Because Karnaugh maps are a major topic in both ECE 290 and CS 231, wewere surprised to find

Organization of American States(OAS)’s ‘Engineering for the Americas’ conference in Lima Peru (Nov. 29 – Dec. 3, 2005) [2].Friedman, a New York Times journalist, asserts that the world is flat because of political changesand information technologies which have leveled the playing field and allow individuals fromany country to compete equally in the global market. The message conveyed at the Limaconference was that in order to compete globally Latin America must produce more engineers,and those engineers must be well trained – like India, which, for Friedman, is the prime exampleof how the world is now flat.Of course, the world is not flat for everyone, as evidenced by the digital divide. While the digitaldivide is a relatively new concept, it is based

post 60’s educational world, it is in vogue to pass over the fundamentals andlaunch students at a very early age into the holistic writing process. The idea is the fundamentalsof how to write a sentence will be absorbed by little insights and little on-demand discussionswith teachers about nouns and verbs and at some point in time the light will go on and everythingwill come together,” Henderson explains. “Well, sadly that rarely happens. It is particularlybothersome to the engineering mind, because the engineering mind knows that process just isn’tgoing to work. At the very get go. So the engineering mind is desperately wanting somebody tosit down and share the fundamentals first. The other thing the engineering mind craves iswhenever
