is common practice to tailor such a traditional coursetowards an audience of engineering students. What becomes interesting, however, is teachingdifferential equations when only one section of this course is offered each semester and it ispopulated by students majoring in engineering, mathematics, chemistry, geology or evensociology.This paper discusses the methodology adopted to teach ordinary differential equations toundergraduate students at Lake Superior State University (LSSU). Since 2005 fall semester, the3-credit course has been team-taught by two instructors; one from the School of Mathematicsand Computer Science and one from the School of Engineering and Technology. The coursecovers traditional topics such as first-order equations

These include skills related toteamwork, communications, professionalism, ethics, life-long learning, impact of engineeringsolutions, and knowledge of contemporary issues.

In the past several years, many colleges havebegun using computer simulations in conjunction with teaching control design. At the GeorgiaInstitute of Technology School of Aerospace Engineering, one of the senior level aerospaceengineering laboratory courses, AE 4525, has developed three new experiments to utilizecomputer flight simulator technology. This allows the students to design and test variouscontrollers using a high fidelity flight simulator; instead of studying only more idealizedtheoretical models.Nomenclature V Total Velocity feet/second alpha (α

Both graduate and undergraduate programs have experienced increasingenrollments, and as a result, this has severely limited “open-lab” availability. “Open-lab” hastraditionally been a time when students can access the laboratory classrooms to finish labassignments, makeup missed work, and get additional experience with the laboratoryinstrumentation. Our philosophy in creating ALTE was not to replace the onsite laboratoryexperience, but rather to supplement it with a system that provided 24x7 access to the sameexperiments via the Internet.[1]-[2] The aim was to allow users
