Unfortunately, at that time the easy access to Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual Conference & Exposition Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Educationcomputers and user friendly software did not exist; therefore from a practical stand point only thesimplest of energy systems could be analyzed by the student. With the development of computerhardware and user-friendly software the student can now handle much more complicatedsystems. This can be done without spending a disproportionate amount of class time and efforton the mathematics involved in the

Engineering Education”available programming languages best fits the needs of the students and the engineeringproblems they must solve. Many engineering departments chose to replace FORTRAN in thecurriculum with C because of the flexibility and the belief that C would be a more valuableprogramming language to know than FORTRAN. However, FORTRAN is still popular amongmany engineers and scientists who require number crunching intensive applications.Over time the high level software packages have evolved to such a degree that they are veryengineering problem solving oriented. Companies have catered to the engineering and scientificcommunity and as a result the packages have become much more useful in day to dayapplications and have become very user

And especially, they learn to view mistakes and failures as opportunities to improve forthe next time.The ChallengeAs educators, our challenge is to teach software engineering students the skills necessary tosurvive and thrive in the real world of project developments. So what are those skills? If theaverage graduate level curriculum is any indication, they must be: Use Cases and ObjectOriented Design & Analysis, Test Methods & Procedures, Agile Software Engineering,Requirements Engineering and Software Project Management. Right? Wrong! I contend thatwhile necessary, these skills play only a relatively minor role in future success.The real skills software engineers need to succeed include

This paper describes the use of Matlab and Simulink inteaching communication theory for undergraduate students. The objective of this approach is toprovide an intuitive understanding of the theory without deeply sinking into derivations offormulae. Signal filtering is an inevitable step in every communication system. Generally, filtertheory is a standalone course offered to graduate level students. Using amplitude modulation as acase study, usage of Fast Fourier Transform (FFT) is discussed in this paper. Frequency
