general-purpose plotting utility, Peanut SoftwareAndrew Grossfield Throughout his career Dr. Grossfield, has combined aninterest in engineering and mathematics. In 1960, he earned a BSEE at theCity College of New York. During the early sixties, he obtained an M.S.degree in mathematics at the Courant Institute of NYU at night while workingfull time as an engineer for aerospace/avionics companies. He graduated fromthe University of Arizona in 1968 after studying continuum mechanics in thedoctoral program. In addition to holding life membership in both ASEE andIEEE he is a member of MAA.

One initiative, termed POGIL, or Process Oriented Guided Inquiry Learning, hasrecently gained traction in both high schools and colleges.6 In 2012, Douglas, et. al. reported onusing POGIL in an engineering course and, as with other active-learning-type classroom use,determined that the methods can be successful, but the instructor must be careful to addressstudent expectations, as students can feel that they are not being “taught.”Both authors have
