advantages are recognizedfor computer modeling over physical prototyping such as convenience of workplace which is notlimited by laboratories or equipment. Another advantage is the freedom of time which isavailable whenever a computer is available. In addition, the time to achieve the task is alwaysreduced when working with computers [9]. Moreover, one of the predominant advantages ofcomputer modeling is allowing for fast modification swiftly and economically. This fast and easymanipulation of the parameters is very helpful to show the students how little compromises inone’s lifestyle may lead to significant sustainable merits. Finally, research is assigned to thestudents aiming to ensure feasible modeling and exposing the importance of

The reason for participating in classes is mostly to get an ideaof their teammates students’ competencies, but also to experience the educational methods andcustoms in other country.

An important element of measuring effectiveness of engineering education,therefore, is to assess the impact of content delivery methodologies on the resolve and self-beliefof the students as they progress through various courses during the curriculum [7].A very important subject in undergraduate engineering curriculum is engineering modeling anddesign. Success in engineering career largely depends on thorough understanding of engineeringdesign process from problem definition to prototype development, dissemination of results, anddesign review.The engineering modeling and design curriculum

In the pre-existing paradigm, teachersintroduce the theory of a new concept prior to running an experiment or discussing contextualapplications of the theory. The physics laboratory objective is solely to verify or support thepresented theory. Teachers then encourage students to extrapolate implementation contextsthrough discussions that follow the lab experiment.
