not a better way to teach and learnengineering concepts than lecturing to a class. I still do.There is a place for lecture in the educational system. For example, it is helpful to reinforcedifficult concepts that have not been well understood, that is, to respond to specific studentquestions. But the primary function of lectures in many classes has been to provide studentswith their list of required study topics. What students really learn from watching their teacherderive equations is that their teacher can derive equations.My experience with lecture in the engineering technology program at my university confirmsthat it is not the most effective way to help students learn. Repeatedly, I have had the experienceof covering thoroughly a

Compilers Package(ICP) is an example of a networked software-engineering tool. Different compiler packages canbe used for various stages of application development providing either maximum error detectionor code optimization.IntroductionDuring the process of software development frequently more than one compiler package isrequired. Some products are known to be very useful for locating errors or debugging, whileothers perform extremely well when a program or library is in the final stage of development andshould be optimized as much as possible. Also when facing obscure error messages, which mayresult in a time-consuming search for the error, a different error message from the secondcompiler frequently cuts that time dramatically.Therefore students

To demonstrate the complexity of the issue in an advanced computerarchitecture course, we used an empirical simulation study to focus on performance of multi-levelcaches and their associativity.
