They posit that the ability to extract key ideas fromnew material and integrate it into existing mental models leads to development of mastery overcomplex content.In the context of an undergraduate course on computer networking, topics such as configuring,securing, troubleshooting, and managing routing across subnetworks in the computer networkingarea require the student to develop a practical hands-on understanding of network models,protocols, hardware, cabling, subnetting, routing and switching. This encompasses a large set oftheoretical and practical competencies. While there are several resources available for learningabout these topics, according to [3, p. 9] commenting on the
more understandable and interesting.On the other hand, do engineering students require the abstract definitions of Cauchy’s analysis?No. Most of today’s engineering work requires an understanding of continuous smooth curvesand surfaces. Euler would feel quite at home in many of today’s beginning engineering andphysics classes. True, electrical engineers, later on, will need the concepts of Fourier series tostudy periodic signals. And even the Fourier series, initially, have a visual interpretation andGibb’s curious phenomena can be introduced without a formal proof but with a warning. Thereare rarely any formal proofs on the P. E. exams. Engineers need to be aware of the interval ofconvergence of Taylor series. At some later time, engineering

Mathematical Descriptions of Systems-Related ConceptsIn this section, we will briefly review the mathematical descriptions of key conceptsassociated with 1-D signals and systems. Most definitions have been borrowed fromZiemer et aL2132.1. ConvolutionThe response of a linear, time-invariant (LTI) system can be expressed in terms of theconvolution integral, making it one of the most important concepts behindcommunications, control, and filtering theory.

clear to the author that if this subject had to make an impact in studentsunderstanding and interest in the field of aeronautical engineering, it cannot be done through conventionallecture-based model. On the other hand, the fundamental theories cannot be overlooked in the interest offocusing on applications. This paper documents an endeavor to achieve a balance between those two byfollowing McLaren’s [6] suggestion that the theory informs practice but experiential and practicalknowledge can be employed as a means to understanding and interpreting that theory. The objective is toapproach a math-based Aerodynamics class from a context of application, student-centered (SCEL) andinstructor-centered experiential learning (ICEL) at the same time
buckling problems is integral to the study of civil, mechanical andaerospace engineering. The academic introduction to the bending of beams with constant crosssection is usually given to students of these disciplines early in the engineering curriculum in acourse in mechanics of materials. That which is presented here is not meant to supplant thefundamental understanding of the bending phenomenon but rather to provide an introduction tonumerical approximations often needed for real-world applications. It is important for students tofirst gain understanding of the static bending problems from an analytical and physical point ofview. Typical courses where static bending problems are encountered are structural analysis,advanced mechanics of materials
