Compared to traditional programs installed on computer hard drives, thesenew types of applications, or “APPs,” have smaller sizes, save memory resources, and offermulti-platform availability. In addition, portable smartphones and tablets are replacing traditionaldesktop computers as the major medium for information dissemination thanks to thedevelopment of CPU and GPU on mobile devices; more education might be more depending onpopular mobile operation systems such as Android and iOS in the future teaching practice. Therefore, one of the potential improvements of the VR implementation may includeexpansion to multiple platforms and operation systems, optimized graphics engines for fast real-time rendering, more versatile

performance byreducing the time lost and confusion caused by having to refer back and forth between theschematic and the table.A second area that will be addressed is to allow more up front time for the circuit analysis andsimulation of the circuit so that any differences between theoretical answers and experimentalmeasurements can be successfully addressed. Coverage of component tolerances, transistormodel deficiencies and the accuracy of assumptions normally used in an EET program will beexpanded.ConclusionsTroubleshooting is a hands-on application of engineering theory and practice. Usinginstructional tools such as previously described, provides students with real world activities inthe laboratory that apply principle and theory previously
and boundaryvalues that define the problem are then introduced. This allows the student a flexibleapproach towards the ultimate goals of the course, to learn the finite element method and,most importantly, to apply the method to real-world problems. With emphasis placed on thisproblem, the students tend to better envision a useful end result that accompanies the basicelements of the course. The practical knowledge obtained by learning the finite elementmethod may then be applied to computational analysis aspects of the student’s thesis,dissertation or related topic. The remaining laboratory topics in the course begin with a given problem that thesolution is obtained from a MATLAB® template. The students alter the given template

The second major conclusion is that the intermediate/advanced level numericalmethods used in Refs. 1 and 6 can be avoided by the use of MathCad to bring the mathematicsinvolved to a reasonable level so that the physical insight to the applications of the laws ofthermodynamics to combustion problems is not lost in the process. The student surveyconducted shows a highly favorable opinion from the students that this new approach hasenhanced their understanding of the combustion thermodynamics. The survey also indicated thatthe importance of the use of computers in the solution of "real world" engineering problems wasunderstood and appreciated by the students. This initiative

Application Intent and Confidence of workshop topicsWhen asked further to describe things that would help in getting better confidence, two majorthemes appeared in the responses: Practice and Time. Most participants indicated the need forpractice and time by themselves to absorb the content. There were additional mentions ofneeding further professional settings and real-world examples of the use of the skills taught inthese workshops. A few examples: “Just more practice”, “A lot of one on one time”, “Aprofessional situation where I can apply what I learned”.Another question asked about what aspects of the workshop helped in changing the relevance ofthe topic, the answers aligned along four common functions: Specific examples
, educators have stimulated interest in CS through the use of K-12 friendlyprogramming environments. Visual programming languages (VPLs) such as Scratch1 provide amore aesthetic alternative to the traditional text-based programming environment and typicallyprovide animation or other multimedia to reward student progress. The drawbacks of VPLs arethat they can become limited when applying advanced CS concepts such as functions, recursion,or object-oriented design. As a result, students often do not see the real-world application in theirassignments and projects. Page 25.123.2The accessibility and interest of the K-12 age group in mobile computing

Theadvantage of the back-to-back format was that students were able to apply immediately conceptscovered in lecture-recitation component. According to the students, they thought the formatgave them the opportunity to make the concepts real and less abstract, and secondly, it helpedthem to understand and retain better the topics covered in class. In the following sections, theauthors will describe the course content in module 1, 2, and 3. The contents of these modulescan be found in Appendix A and Appendix B.

general estimation of projectoutcomes in terms of time and cost. However, students will realize that there is a consistentvariation between estimated times and costs when compared to real data of actual projects.Although this may seem obvious, or even acceptable, it certainly begs the question of whether abetter model or algorithm can be developed to explain the relationship between estimation andreal-world outcomes. This is where theoretical and generalized models show their weaknessesand allow for an opportunity for technologies that can better fit and realize more accuratepredictions than the simulation [17].Step 2: Preparing a Dataset for IBM Watson CloudTo demonstrate that the programmatic solution derived from traditional algorithms

The advantage of this practice is that these students are well preparedfor working on the engineering problems. The downside is that they are rarely formallyeducated enough in skills required for developing HPC software.
