As a start, the broad outlines of the first-quarter physics and mathcourse as adopted at my University are listed with a subsequent more detailedexamination of the curriculum that attempts to assess how math concepts are used inphysics education. The hope is that it serves as a basis for interaction between physicsand math educators in the future. As I have argued above, the use of math in physics,and subsequently in engineering, is what should drive the interaction among thedisciplines. The analysis that follows the curricula overviews is motivated by this view.2. Overview of curriculumTo be as specific as possible, my study is restricted to the textbooks

the connection definitions can beeasily seen on the 10 second animation.The assessment of the results is based on their interpretation and effects on the final design.Students discuss their designs and findings in their written reports. The analysis step can takevery long time because of the computer processing time. So, the design criteria should be set in away that it should be easy for the students to verify their design by the simulation. For example,for the FEA analysis, the design should withstand 10,000 lb horizontal force; this force is half ofthe actual requirement for this design. So, if the students don’t make a very critical mistake theycan easily verify their design and fulfill the stress requirements after two or three

The problem focuses on sample spaces, composite events, joint events, partitions, conditional probability, Bayes' theorem, and a tool for organizing probability information. The first and second tasks require recognition that the sample space can be partitioned in two ways and that four of the box's sub compartments satisfy the definition of the event whose probability is requested. This is meant to reinforce the concept of a union of events.The third task and fourth tasks require recognition that a probability conditioned on information is required. The

This requires explicitly identifying thevocabulary that students need to learn in the course of their studies. Proper specification ofvocabulary is likely to be particularly important in introductory courses that form the foundationof engineering disciplines.Identifying discipline-specific words helps instructors establish clear expectations of requiredvocabulary knowledge, while building robust technical communication skills. If students have aclear understanding of required vocabulary, then instructors will be able to develop higherquality teaching and assessment material. As a

Wirelessmedical sensors are arranged on a patient’s body and can be used to closely monitor thephysiological condition of patients. These medical sensors monitor the patient’s vital body signs(e.g temperature, heart rate, blood pressure, oxygen saturation, etc.) and transmit the data in atimely fashion to some remote location without human intervention. A doctor can interpret thesesensor readings to assess a patient’s condition. Thus patients could benefit from continuouslong-term monitoring after being discharged from the hospital6.

McCleary also points out thattechnology creates an opaque, verses transparent, filter in the process of doing, and thus effectslearning.19 In this sense, the amount of technological assistance within this level is always goingto be skewed toward understanding why and assessment and not toward efficient industryproduction.OrganizationallyAcademia operates primarily at the individual level for pedagogical reasons related to studentassessment. A compartmentalized approach to design also does not allow students to see orunderstand the entire process. The academic institution itself obviously operates in a highlycompartmentalized manner. The issue here is on how we organize students to do design in aclassroom
