engineering work beingperformed without the aid of a computer! Thus, a necessary part of any undergraduateeducation in the engineering disciplines is exposure to and competency with technology. Formany years, engineering departments at colleges and universities have made it a point toincorporate technology into their curricula, exposing students to the latest in computational,design, and modeling software. It is only fitting that calculus and other engineeringmathematics courses, as necessary prerequisites to most studies in engineering, also incorporatethe latest technological innovations, both to enhance conceptual understanding and to preparestudents for problem-solving with the computational power available.One of the most pressing challenges

believed that the time students take to completethe experiments will be significantly reduced by using LabVIEW.IntroductionThe use of a computer to imitate an instrument or device is known as virtual instrumentation.One software development package used to create virtual instruments is LabVIEW (LaboratoryVirtual Instrument Engineering Workbench). LabVIEW is a graphical programming languagethat, when used in conjunction with a data acquisition device and personal computer, allows theuser to control devices, collect, manipulate and display data. Written code is not used inLabVIEW instead graphical representations of the circuits are constructed which are calledvirtual instruments (VI’s). These VI’s are manipulated so that they will perform the

Electronic injection systems not only give the designer much more control over thecombustion process, but also require the use of novel diagnostic techniques in the context ofmixing and combustion studies. Such experimental investigations often require a multi-disciplinary approach and therefore have very high educational value for participatingengineering students. The tasks include: identification of the parameters that need to bemeasured for the particular study, identification of signals that will allow indirect measurementsof parameters that are difficult or impossible to measure directly; and finally development of

. SummaryAn alternative implementation of a spreadsheet to diffusion analysis has been presented. Byusing the Matano-Bolztmann method the students are able to investigate the dependence of theinterdiffusion coefficient on the chemical composition in the Cu-Ni binary system. This isaccomplished by applying elementary numerical techniques by means of Excel™ software.Upon completing this experiment, the students are expected to fully understand the mechanics ofthe Darken equations and the Matano-Bolzmann method and on how to instrument mathematicaltools in a commercial software in a very effortless manner. An example has provided in order todemonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed educational investigation. Finally the illustratedexample results

Even with the aforementioned approach,execution times will still be heavily dependent upon the user’s implementation and the software tools used toconvert high level languages into code suitable for each processor. Taking these facts into account, the figures andtimes included this paper are not intended to represent absolute values and will differ between implementations.However, the times presented were calculated in a manner consistent with reducing compiler and implementationdependency as much as possible.Since obtaining exact solutions can become quite expensive, some benchmark completion times were interpolatedbased on existing comparisons and
