Most of these packages are used as standaloneapplications and are not developed specifically for educational purposes. For educationalpurposes, several animation programs have been developed in the recent past2,3,4,5,6.While these programs provide animations and have useful tools, the animations are notdirectly linked directly to homework problems of texts.Several papers have been published by the principal author in the past, which describeweb-based animations software for

Therefore, to address these areas, UTA hasrecently created a new first year engineering course that uses the Student-Centered ActiveLearning Environment with Upside-down Pedagogies (SCALE-UP) method. This presentationwill include an overview of not only student performance broken down by several student groupsbut also early surveys showing student perception of the effectiveness of this method. The resultswill show that these pedagogies are effective in aiding students to learn the principles ofengineering. In addition, student surveys will show

students to realize what is expected under the new rubric.When this realization begins to take shape, the second part of the mindset change must begin. Inthe “correct approach partial credit model,” students receive very little penalty for makingconceptual errors and almost no penalty for computational and other simple mistakes. Thisgrading culture has established an attitude among many students that solving a problemcompletely is unnecessary, and getting the right answer is too much to expect, even for simpleproblems. The result of this attitude is that many students do not take a careful or methodicalapproach to problem solving, and there is little attention given to checking work for errors. Inshort, these students are not developing an

Itdiffers from textual or traditional programming where a specialized syntax based text isneeded to structure a program. Graphical programming tools are increasingly used tosimulate a design, develop an algorithm or model a process in engineering andtechnology disciplines due to ease of implementation and because they allow a natural,intuitive interaction with the system or process under simulation. The traditionalapproach to develop and implement an algorithm to target a real-time DSP is to writethe source code in either C language or assembly language. Such an approach althoughdoable is laborious, time consuming, requires great deal of programming expertise
