high student interest and motivation. [5] As discussed in this paper,one such method, Three Strikes, encourages students to analyze and recognize mistakes anderrors. Finding these mistakes can lead to further analysis on how errors affect results.The Three Strikes MethodThe Three Strikes Method (TSM) is an implementation of an error detection and problem solvingassessment method. It has been implemented in several courses taught by the author in theElectrical and Computer Engineering Technology Department (ECET) at Indiana UniversityPurdue University Fort Wayne (IPFW). The TSM, used mainly in an ECET course, can also beeasily implemented in other curriculums.The original concept of TSM was discovered with the help of a student. One day in
