opportunity to solve problems that wouldbe extremely difficult or impossible to solve without them. The decisions about computer toolusage in the courses were based upon the author’s 14 years of experience as a practicingengineer. This experienced included both using and developing computer-aided engineeringtools. A number of general concerns and choices relate to the use of computer tools in anyengineering class. The general concerns include the aforementioned possible compromise of thestudents’ basic engineering understanding, plus student computer background and fittingadditional content into an already full curriculum. The choices are between general purpose anddiscipline specific software, as well as between the use of existing applications or

The current development and its implementation are also given inthe present paper.I. IntroductionWhile it is important for technology programs to educate students about the use ofcomputer aided design (CAD) tools, they must also ensure that the students have a basicunderstanding of the underlying principles upon which these computer programs arebased. Striking a balance between teaching the fundamentals and giving the studentshands-on experience with the technology continues to be a challenge.All technology majors are
order to address these issues. This software gives the studentthe ability to build, tune, simulate and evaluate a model all within a single environment. Thesoftware developed provides a “construction set” that students can use to build their ownsimulations of dynamic models and run them to observe their performance. This program isinteractive and can be used in the classroom for demonstrations, in the laboratory for guided use,and on student’s own computers for experimentation and to complete assignments. The computersimulations provide ample opportunity for them to learn in an environment that allows them to failsafely. IntroductionDynamics provides a tool for civil engineers to evaluate a changing

in ECE Design Verification Curriculum Shruti Sharma, Mohamed Ghonim, Xiaoyu Song, Jin ZhangIntroductionVerification of modern-day computing systems is becoming a bottleneck, taking up to 70 % ofthe time and effort in the design cycle [1]. Traditional approaches to design verification includesimulation, where validation engineers create a test bench environment and develop test casesand checkers to monitor the behavior of the design. This presents several problems, includingthe long time taken to create the test bench infrastructure, long runtimes, and always posing thequestion of how many test cases would be enough to validate the design thoroughly. Longerruntimes for simulation are usually

Development of Engineering Skills Using Online ToolsAbstractEngineering education extends beyond mere knowledge acquisition and encompasses thedevelopment of a comprehensive skill set valued in the industry. A novel approach to fosteringengineering skills using online tools is presented in this paper, addressing the limitations oftraditional teaching methods. The alignment between ABET student outcomes and industry-desired skills was analyzed, and the need for improved skill development methodologies inengineering curricula was identified. Five key elements of skill development are focused on:personal investment, practice, feedback, realistic expectations, and supportive environments. Aninnovative educational tool utilizing online platforms was

In addition to “hard” knowledge, engineersneed to experience and understand “communication, teamwork, and the ability to recognizeand resolve ethical dilemmas.”[1] These skills are powerful when combined with awarenessskills involving “understanding the impact of global and social factors, knowledge ofcontemporary issues, and the ability to do lifelong learning.”[1] What is the most effectiveway of incorporating this into

Project TUNA II –Bode Analyzer and Teaching ToolAbstractStudents measuring the frequency response of a linear circuit (e.g., an active filter) by manualmethods find the task mind-numbing and repetitive, and the purpose was frequently lost in theminutiae of data-taking. Project TUNA (Texas Universal Network Analyzer), a Bode analyzerfor low to moderate frequencies, was conceived as an answer to this problem. The prototype ofProject TUNA was developed as a project in Electronics II (EENG 4409) in 1999, andpermanent copies were constructed in 2000. Project TUNA has been integrated into theelectronics curriculum of UT-Tyler since that time. It is used as both a laboratory instrument andas a teaching tool, particularly to illustrate the principles of
ToolAbstractA cyberlearning tool was developed to facilitate teaching and learning of software engineeringcourses. The tool, SEP-CyLE (Software Engineering and Programming CyberlearningEnvironment), was developed by a publicly funded research university and is currently beingused by at least seven other universities across the United States of America. The NationalScience Foundation (NSF) provided funding for the development and implementation of the tool.Since its initial development the scope of the tool has been expanded for use in other universitylevel computer science courses.The three learning engagement strategies (LESs) that are an integral part of the tool are (i)collaboration, (ii) gamification, and (iii) social interaction.
