Historically, thetheoretical aspects of sonar systems have been covered in a graduate level DSP course. However,given the diverse topical interest in concepts such as beamforming, we believe that anunderstanding of the theories and implementation techniques necessary to construct the varioussubsystems of sonar are becoming an essential part of an undergraduate EE education.2. Teaching Sonar: Software or Hardware?How do we teach such concepts to undergraduates? Computer-based demonstrations can be highlyeffective with students for many DSP topics8.

Eighth grade is acritical coursework juncture, when students and parents choose whether or not the student willparticipate in the math and science series. Actions during this critical juncture largely determineengineering readiness upon high school graduation. Furthermore, research tells us that womenand minority students are

For simulating a steady-state reactor, for instance, theuser must balance the reaction in the reaction panel, set up fuel, oxidizer, and products states inthe state panel, and import the calculated states in the device panel where the mass, energy, andentropy equations are solved to determine the desired unknown in a well posed problem.

It has been shown that students who perform poorly in their firstadvanced math or engineering science course are more likely to struggle or even not completetheir intended engineering degree.

IntroductionEngineering laboratories have historically been underfunded and neglected at most universities.This has resulted from the university not giving adequate workload credit for development andteaching of labs as compared to that given for research [2]. This has promoted laboratoryobsolescence as faculty interest and support for providing on-going development of new labs andsupportive skills have declined. Yet, today our industry advisors tell us they expect our graduatesto have skills that can only be learned in a laboratory setting where modern instrumentation andcomputers
