Assuch, each tool can be tailored to fulfill the same role with an entirely new context. Gener alized Pr oblem Solving The methodology presented within these two courses provides the students with abasis for problem solving that extends beyond computer science. The main objective ofteaching problem solving in this manner is that it provides an approach to problemsolving and a way of looking at problems; breaking down problems into manageablepieces; and then solving each piece logically, and at the appropriate

A simple single degree of freedom model is developed here which shows the effectof the non-linearity on the period of vibrations. This is also done for a two degree of freedomexample. Another interesting problem involves the linear normal modes of a two-degree offreedom mechanical system. It is well known that if the system is initialized in a normal mode, itremains in that mode. What happens if the underlying physical model is non-linear? Here, forpurposes of classroom demonstration, simple models, showing some interesting effects, aredeveloped and analyzed using MAPLE®.Physical

Computer-Aided Design(CAD) have become an essential tool for engineers and other STEM-related fields, which requiresan adequate spatial cognition skill (Sorby et al. 2013). Strong spatial skills are necessary to notonly complete the engineering course but also to succeed in professional practice after finishingthe curriculum (Hsi et al., 1997).

The use of AI to help solve engineering problems as a collaboration tool is being used inengineering classrooms at increased frequency, hence the motivation of this paper to look at theuse of AI in developing professional skills in engineering undergraduate education. Using AI asprompts to help students draft papers or laboratory reports is starting to emerge in undergraduateengineering programs, although using AI to teach or enhance professional skills seems to be anew area of research [5].

A fewyears later programmable calculators became available and modules containing basic solutions toheat transfer problems were developed for these calculators. In addition, authors began toinclude sections in their textbooks, introducing students to numerical techniques for solving heattransfer problems.Prior to the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computercodes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems.
