Thecourse is offered as a lab course in order to allow as much hands-on opportunity as possible. Inthis paper, we focus on the course topics we covered in hope that others who may face thisdaunting challenge may gain some insight. We attempt to show how we approached some of themore complex topics without the benefit of higher order math emphasizing the importance ofcooperative and collaborative learning in this environment. We also hope to show why a courselike this rightly belongs in the Electrical and/or Computer Engineering Department and thechallenges that brings.I. BackgroundIn 1997 a survey was sent out to the

But the easiest way to think aboutCNC is to simply understand that it is all about using a computer as a means to control a machinethat carves useful objects from solid blocks of material. Traditional CNC machines areexpensive, complicated, and typically only found in large manufacturing companies that canafford them. Small hobbyist CNC machines can run anywhere from $7,000 and higher;professional machines can cost

In this approach, students are required to answer shortquestions posted on the web at least two hours before class. Questions are typically open-endedand conceptual, rather than mathematical. The instructor then reads through the student answersbefore class and tailors the classroom experience based on student understanding. For newtopics, many students will appreciate some aspects of the idea, but different students will
