say they know how to solve the equations and it is just that they have trouble with“word problems.” The problem is, of course, that in engineering, virtually all problems are wordproblems. Because of the advent of inexpensive, powerful computers to crunch numbers, it isnow very important that people be able to correctly interpret and express technical information.However, empirical evidence shows that students’ ability in this area has declined, rather thanimproved. This paper describes some specific issues in math literacy and the use of technology toaddress them. Examples are drawn from a junior-level data analysis course having a largefraction of international students. However, these issues are common in most engineeringcourses and occur

Completion of this project is arequirement for graduation, and students usually take the capstone design course in their senioryear. Because this course is within the Engineering and Computer Science curriculum of thecollege, however, many of the topics that the students are required to learn are well outside oftheir typical course requirements.

The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output
