We allowed the students to retake the quiz as many times as they wanted until they got the score they were satisfied with. Most students ended up cycling through the entire pool of questions each week. While this did not force the students to read the entire chapter, at least it helped them read the parts of the book that we thought were the most important by our choice of question.

Compare to traditionalelectrical engineering students, the lack of hands-on lab experience becomes more apparentwhen students are working on capstone senior projects.One strategy we used to solve this issue was to include a mixed capstone project groupcomprising of computer, electronic, and biomedical engineering students. This strategy workedfor few groups but the success rate was less than thirty five percent due to the students’ lack ofpreparation and disadvantage of knowledge compared to traditional electrical engineeringstudents.To rectify this situation we proposed and developed this

curveswith MATLAB allows students to visually solve for the (x,y) coordinates of their intersections,thus answering actual physics concepts of trajectories.For example, students typically know that a projectile thrown at a 45° angle will travel thefurthest distance. However, if there is a sloped hill, some students mistakenly believe that 45° isstill the angle that will lead to the furthest distance travelled. In the following lab example, thecurve is a polynomial of the second degree. Yet, the graphical approach applied here is identicalto the cable tension that finds the intersection of the curves and solves for physics property of thetrajectory as shown in Figures 5 and 6.
