is thought that the reason for such limiteddiscussion on this concept is due to its assumed inclusion in engineering curricula. This is likelyto be the case to some extent, for example, the co-author teaching the Computational Modelingcourse always included example problems based on engineering applications. However, therewas previously no effort to promote the use computational modeling techniques in applicablecourses taught concurrently. The authors perceived this as a missed opportunity to reinforceintradisciplinary learning or knowledge transfer early in the engineering curriculum. In theabsence of these efforts, students may not be exposed to these knowledge transfer requirementsfor problem solving until their senior level courses. The

The typical student has changed from being afull-time, recently graduated from high school or community college transfer, to being a part-time, full-time working adult. The nature of his work is often as technician, draftsman, or evenjunior engineer at an engineering design firm.The authors’ philosophy on the necessity for integrating the use of computers and software in theteaching of design and analysis is presented.

In addition, our curricula must keep pace with the rapidly changingfields within electronics and computer technology. We believe the new curriculum and pedagogywill accomplish that.The restructuring consisted of course deletions, significant course modifications and many newcourses.
