This created an early sense of student ownership and involvement.

One required course (MET 3300 Computer ProgrammingApplications in MET) requires students to learn a high level programming language to formulatesolutions to various engineering problems by coding a solution and running their software tovalidate the approach. Hence, our students are given basic instruction in fundamental computerprogramming as well as exposure to various specialized engineering software. The introductionof MS Excel examples in select courses, is used to further expand students understanding ofpossible analytical tools that can also be exploited to solve problems.Discussion: With the rise of the electronic computer during the mid-twentieth century,tremendous strides were made with
