example given by Thomke is the use of automobile crash simulation software to replace theuse of physical prototype testing. The feeling from the book is that the only reason simulationsoftware shouldn’t replace physical prototyping completely is because of a lack of current (forthe time) computing power and government regulations requiring the destruction of physicalmodels for safety testing. While there is no denying the usefulness of this software, and itsimpact on discovering potential issues early in the design process, there is a point when carmakers must move to destroying real world prototypes and gathering data from those to informbetter decisions. One can assume that it is for reasons like this that we have recently seen Lexusrelease a

The design projects are fairly diverse dueto the diverse interests of the students. A short list of these projects that materialized during the lasttwo years include: agricultural spraying drone, bleach concentration feedback control system,anaerobic digester coupled with a heating system, vapor-cloud explosion test structure, search andrescue drone deployment system, dual-axis solar tracker, six degrees-of-freedom robotic arm for steamsterilization, and all-terrain rescue trailer.

These benefits include the engineering students gaining abetter understanding of the problems faced by people in real-world situations, and learning waysto better communicate technical subject matter to people lacking deep technological literacy.Additionally, ABET Criterion 3 – Student Outcomes for accreditation emphasizes the need totake into account global and societal factors in

A surveyconducted in 2005 of electromagnetics curricula around the world directly identified thatstudents feel that electromagnetics is very challenging and demanding [4]. Due to the difficulty,student motivation is low which does not encourage passion for the course topic [5].The literature shows that students need help in visualizing the abstract concepts embedded inelectromagnetics and have suggested transformations involving computer software packages andnumerical simulation [2],[3],[5].

Its application in thecontext of engineering disciplines can play, we think, a role in answering very similar questions.While
