However, it is not difficult to either incorporate some of theseactivities into already existing laboratory experiments or to combine some of those alreadyexisting to free up time for the new ones.

MADCAT.MADCAT was formally integrated into the curriculum of EENG3304 in spring, 2003. It wasintroduced with a lecture describing its capabilities and covering the mechanics of its use for dcbias-point and dc-sweep analyses. Students were also given a written tutorial describing themethodology used by MADCAT to construct and solve its matrix equations. An assignmentwas given in which students were to analyze two dc circuits with MADCAT and to construct thematrix equations of one simple circuit. It appeared that all students were able to construct thecircuit files and obtain solutions with MADCAT, but only three of seven students were able tosolve the matrix-construction problem. An additional lecture was presented to reinforce thewritten tutorial on

During the second teaching of the course, it was modifiedto enhance its delivery by focusing on the aspects which gave the students the most difficulty inits first offering: syntax and organization of operations in programming. This was achievedthrough the use of Matlab as a meta-language platform, development of Matlab tutorials for thecourse, and an emphasis on algorithmic thinking.In this paper, algorithmic thinking involves developing a complete understanding of theoperations required via hand calculations and block diagrams before attempting to generate anycode.

However, there are some cases where studentsdo well individually in projects 2 and 3 but fail to integrate their work into the final project. Thiscan be detected when there is no strong connection between the individual part and the finalproduct. 4.

The advantages of CFTs are many 11, especially when applied tothose functions requiring high-level integration of diverse areas of expertise--such as ProductDevelopment. Because of the crucial role engineers play in the product development process,leaders of product development teams are frequently engineers. Additionally, companies thatemploy CFTs usually have done so in an effort to "reduce" middle management overhead andemploy the synergistic effects of teamwork, communication, and co-location of personnel.This puts the engineer as manager in the role of market manager, program manager, humanresources manager and

Within this space, we explore the idea of building a design coach playbook for their usein scaffolding the design learning process. The concept of a playbook as a document to conveyan organization’s standard approaches to typical situations is common across many fields.Within design education, the concept of playbooks has been previously employed as a tool to beused from the student perspective to identify actions (plays) to engage under specific conditions[14,15,16].This paper seeks to gather feedback from the design education community as we progress indeveloping this framework and pursuing opportunities to utilize it with a wider community ofdesign educators.Playbook

However, there is no provision for the coding of tool use inthis protocol [31]. Subsequently, the Classroom Observation Protocol for Engineering Design(COPED) was designed to evaluate engineering design curriculum integration in K-12classrooms [32]. The authors focus their protocol on emphasizing engineering design processesand habits of mind.
