past decade, the use of computers has exploded in all facets of life including education.With the increasing use of computing tools in engineering and engineering problem solving, manyschools introduced engineering within the context of learning these computing tools for futurelearning. Thus, in many cases the first engineering course taken by students, typically in theirfreshman year, is an introductory course in various computing tools (software packages) useful inengineering education. These courses include an introduction to computers, networking, the Page 8.93.1Proceedings of the 2003 American Society for Engineering Education
