I liked the fact that Dr. _____ chose not tofocus on material that Matlab or other software does for us (such as drawing Nyquist plots byhand), and instead focuses on the larger concepts.” Based on the survey questions and comments, the author feels that this approach is worthpursuing. 4. Conclusion and Ongoing Work As technology brings about a paradigm shift, changing the way people perceive and learninformation, methods must be explored to improve the success of students in the classroom, aswell as encourage them to pursue difficult coursework in STEM.

Especially facing the fact thattoday’s youngsters are grown up in a computerized multimedia world – they are enthusiasts ofinternet, video games, ipod, MySpace, face book, and etc. even before they enter college. Havingknown lots of popular fancy applications using computer techniques, their expectation of theirfirst computer class is not the same as students of twenty years ago. But the struggling for theirfirst computing class in college resulted in low retention rate reported by many institutions.To address this issue, a group of faculty members from computing discipline
