In this course, students individually conduct experiments with the simulations beforethey come together as teams to design and build a process or product that relies on related coreengineering theory. Pre- and post-course surveys and tests were used to assess the teaching potential andstudents’ evaluation of the simulations as course materials. Resulting student evaluations are farmore positive than those found in a comparable engineering course using traditional pedagogyand static text-book assignments. Student learning was demonstrably improved along withstudent confidence in a variety of engineering skills.

IntroductionSince traditional communications engineering courses are largely theoretical and provide littlehands-on experience, they often appear dry and impractical to students. Even in lab sections,students may be asked to design and construct simple modulators and demodulators, but theyrarely have the opportunity to participate in the front-end design decisions necessary for acomplete communication system.

In addition, a journal can be a tool to help students write a graded paper by providinginformation to be used in the paper. For example, in the senior chemical engineering lab, mystudents keep a journal called a learning styles log with an entry for each group meeting. At theend of the term, they write a memo relating the Kolb learning styles theory to the groupinteraction.

In other words, the mathematical work to combine the stressand strain equation with the electric flux density equation becomes cumbersome as the equationdevelops. So, it becomes very important to do programming for mathematical calculation work aswith the increase in the length of the equation the factor of human error also increases.To avoid such a time-consuming work, one can take advantage of software specially designed andprogrammed to do calculation task related to combined field equations.

engineer in developing greater knowledge and skill and helps avoid costly blunders[25, 26].This paper proposes a use of Pólya’s method that has not been widely studied. In Step 1 ofPólya’s method, a student would abstract pertinent facts from the problem and put them into aform he or she can relate to better. Thereafter, the student can refer to the abstraction, rather thanthe original problem. This may be an additional benefit for students who have difficulty withlanguage, whether due to a specific learning disability or due to English not being their primarylanguage. Because this step isolates the process of abstracting information from the rest of theprocess, it could reduce the impact of limited math literacy on the rest of the student’s

In addition, pedagogical strategies for effectivelyusing computers in the classroom are studied. Impediments to the Employment of Technology There are a variety of reasons that technology is not more widely employed in the classroom. Some ofthese reasons are related to reluctance on the part of faculty members to change. While a certain amount of thiscan be attributed to inertia, there are legitimate faculty concerns. Principal among these is the fear that lectureswill deteriorate into high-tech displays of the
