All computationsare made using the slide rule, logarithmic and trigonometric tables. During the 1970’s a Britishcomputer company donated a main frame computer for the College of Science, that uses alanguage called “ALGOL”. The computer was strictly for research and all data entry wasthrough a punished tape. The hand held calculator came along, but it was too expensive for theaverage student to own. The University is supported financially by the State Government, andthe majority of the students are supported by the State. Textbooks are provided by the State,including the slide rule.At the time, computers or computer aided

desire to harvesttechnological innovation from creative individuals and suppliers worldwide. To observe theimpact of globalization activities on manufacturing, lets examine the introduction of globalsourcing by General Motors in the early 1990’s. General Motors traditionally procured over 70% of its automobile parts from captiveinternal suppliers, now called Delphi Automotive Systems, per the idea of vertical integration.In 1992, J. Ignacio Lopez de Arriortua was appointed as GM’s worldwide purchasing directorand quickly promoted the concept of global sourcing automobile parts for its assembly plants [2].Although somewhat different from the Toyota Motor Company’s policy to develop long termmultiple (primary and secondary) supplier

IntroductionThe objective of this paper is to provide examples of circuits and systems that the electricalengineering technology students simulate with various software simulation packages. Specificcourses have been chosen to examine the effect that the software has on student learning ofcircuit analysis and design concepts.Software simulation has been used in the electrical engineering technology program at UPJ sincethe early 1970’s. Early circuit software was executed on an IBM 1130 mainframe computer thatrelied on hand-coded information for the circuit, punched computer cards, and submission of thecard deck to the computer operator for the

This occurred even though theten member group’s project was of significantly more detailed and of higher quality than thetwenty member group’s project. The instructor believes that this result is due to the students’method of self-assessment. Most students graded themselves based on completing the workassigned to them. If the student completed the work, s/he usually assigned an A.
