theexplosion of information technology1. In order to manipulate more complex systems and toexplore designs in an economically and ecologically sound manner, EEs have come to rely onextensive use of computer modeling; this is consistent with the evolution of the EE.Prior to 1900 EE was primarily concerned with the generation and transmission of electricpower as well as its uses with respect to rotating machinery. With the advent of the vacuumtube, EE entered the “electronic age” which ‘flourished’ in response to the needs of World warII. The semiconductor replaced the vacuum tube after the 1950s as the principal component ofdesign and when the transistor became integrated into larger entities (“integrated circuits”),functional design replaced discrete

. While these courses teach multiple data models, they do not offer labs thatprovide students with insights into the tradeoffs between different data models. Such teachingmethodology hinders students’ ability to generalize the database knowledge to learning new datamodels. The primary motivation for developing TriQL is to bridge this gap. Thus, in this section,we discuss how we can integrate TriQL labs into a database curriculum, using CS 411 as anexample.CS 411 is an elective course taken primarily by graduate students or undergraduates nearing theend of their degree, with pre-requisites, including introduction to programming and datastructures.

,engineering as an integrative method for teaching STEM is well suited as a focus for inquiry-based teaching. The integration may also have been a manifestation of the creativity andknowledge of the teachers, the nature of the elementary curriculum, and the way in which themanipulatives promote multidisciplinary approaches to teaching and learning. Since the summerinstitute was hosted by the College of Engineering, the reason for the engineering focus mayhave rested simply on this aspect.

However, one concern ofimplementation of PjBL is that it may overwhelm a student especially when conducted in lowerlevel courses.

The era of thestand-alone “computational methods” class and the assigned “computer project” is waning;students must be expected to recognize the need for computational methods in all courses acrossthe curriculum, and select and apply computational tools wherever and whenever appropriate.Student
