important advances in computing, design,simulation and analysis tools that directly impact engineering and mathematics education havebeen made. High performance hand-held calculators capable of advanced numeric and symboliccomputation and graphing are now available and accessible to all students at very affordableprices. Personal computers are now part of many classrooms and are made available to studentsin every higher education institution in the nation. The content of a student backpack nowincludes student-owned portable computers and several universities are now requiring personalcomputers from their students.On the software side, dedicated mathematical packages such as Matlab, MathCad, Maple, andMathematica that provide enormous computing

E-Learning is essentially the way that computer and network enabled transferof skills and knowledge, referring to the use of the electronic applications and processes tolearn.4-12 Today, education and especially engineering and science education are stronglyinfluenced by the emerging e-Learning and the accent is in skills and (deep) understanding ratherthan knowledge. E-Learning plays by this development an important role.The engineering, science, and technology fields, at present, are very dynamic fields due to therecent advances in computer and IT technologies, simulation and modeling techniques.

technology is associated with gains in student achievement onstandardized tests and, in many cases, student attitude. It is most effective if the technology useis focused and has clear objectives and goals2,3. Educational software has been shown to beuseful for self-study and have a positive association with student achievement in mathematics4.Research also shows that there is strong evidence to support the theory that technologycomplements traditional classroom instruction5. Moreover, there is some evidence from distanceeducation studies to support the notion that use of personalized software tools in combinationwith traditional classroom instruction is an effective strategy8.

In order for the potential ofhigh-performance microprocessors to be realized, industry needs designers who are comfortablewith the large-scale system design problems presented by complex hardware and software. Uni-versities need to revamp their microprocessor education in order to keep up with these advances.A good approach is to update the microprocessor-based systems course to reflect the realities ofmodern embedded system designs.
