program, a hands-on experience is expected mostly through laboratory classes [4-6]. Theyusually enjoy laboratory classes and look forward to implementing what they had learnt in bookcourses. But most importantly, since project/lab-based learning is one of the most effective andbetter resonating methods of learning, and one that distinguishes between engineering programs[5, 6]; engineering students immediately feel that they are getting their money’s worth whenengaging in a laboratory environment. Different engineering schools struggled to convince their students with “emergency”remote laboratory classes as an alternative to in-person laboratory classes [7, 8]. As ABET has notrelaxed any accreditation requirements, it was mandated that

Daniel Raviv College of Engineering and Computer Science, Florida Atlantic University Emails: ravivd@fau.eduAbstract A growing number of students have difficulties connecting mathematical principles toreal life. In addition, as technology brings about a paradigm shift in the way people perceive andlearn new information, students become more sidetracked, as their attention span has becomeshorter. They also prefer more visual and intuitive explanations of the material. This suggest thatadditional teaching methods should be explored to adjust to students' new styles of learning. This paper describes several illustrative examples aimed at aiding in comprehension ofthe concept of limit. The

Continuous functions are needed to describe co-variantvariables, trends, time varying signals and control of one variable by another.The mathematician, Descartes, invented the rectangular coordinate system, which enabled thetrends contained in a discrete table of values for a function to be displayed as a set of dots or aconnected set of line segments. The two dimensional coordinate system enabled an equation intwo variables to be graphed as a continuous curve. The use of tables, curves and equations torepresent continuous functions has become conventional in modern science.

Therefore, creative problem solving demands divergence fromthe usual patterns of thinking, and it is accomplished most effectively within a team.
