andalgorithm design. A course in discrete structures typically starts with an introduction to logic andmathematical proof techniques then the focus is placed on graph theory with algorithm designand analysis techniques. These topics tend to be difficult to teach and hard to graspstudents since materials are often abstract and at times disconnected. In this study we examinethe impact of using Python programming language as an aid in teaching a discrete structuresclass to computer science students. Python is a programming language that supports both object–oriented and functional programming paradigms. It is easy to read and understand with syntaxsuitable for algorithm development. Python can run in an interactive mode which provides anefficient

The second is failure to properly interface lowpower logic circuits with loads requiring significant drive currents. The third deficiency isfacility with low power, relatively low frequency, signal generating and processing circuits.Finally, we had observed difficulties preserving signal integrity usually resulting from cross talk,power supply bounce, or ground loops.

IBL allow undergraduate students to research these core topics, but it alsoallows them to relate it to semester-long projects [9]. These projects take the hands-onexperience of project-based learning, allowing undergraduate students to work on topics relatedto the course. Project-based learning [10] is an important model of learning that houses afundamental building block for IBL. By having students work on projects, they are more activelyengaged in the engineering design process. The downfall of project-based learning is the inabilityto encounter failures without significant repercussions to their grades. Being able to fail on aproject and learn from that experience without jeopardizing the students ability to pass the coursehas been proven
