This paper describes how the new dynamicinteractivity language in addition to standard features built into Mathematica are being used in teaching selected sophomore andsenior undergraduate electrical engineering classes at the University of Southern Maine. It describes how several typical problemsencountered in integrating advanced computational systems into an undergraduate curriculum have been addressed. Particularattention will be paid to the creation and classroom use of demonstrations illustrating some core ideas such as convolution, filtering,and frequency response.IntroductionRecent advances in software technology in Mathematica, a leading mathematical software system from Wolfram

Central to this approach is teaching the most fundamental topics ofdynamics in the first week: kinetics, kinematics, and computer simulation. This teaching takesplace in the context of rectilinear motion using examples that extend across all three topic areas.This gives students an overview of the course, allowing them to make connections between whatcan seem like isolated topics. It also makes the course more robust; students learn the big ideasearly on, and the rest of the course develops these ideas for cases of increasing complexity.Exciting examples that students can relate to are used to teach the material which helps

asking students to givepeers positive feedback may benefit the giver (and receiver). Similarly, an opportunity in themiddle of the term to give positive feedback to teaching assistants (TAs) and/or the professorcould be meaningful. This can have a practical benefit by allowing students reinforce what theylike.In courses related to professional skills or transitioning to college, specific training on self-kindness could be integrated. Smeets et al. [18] described a group intervention around self-compassion. Although this was done outside-of-class with volunteers, a similar activity could beintegrated into a course with the appropriate scaffolding.

Instead, they experienced engineering design in the role of teachers with thegoal of designing an engineering design curriculum situated in a biological context for theirstudents. Because the teachers had multiple backgrounds and experiences with engineering, butall were trained as science teachers, directed discussion was used to surface ideas and to developkey principles of the EDP such as solving a problem and iterative design.
