This also brings in the possibility for designwork, a core aspect of the Creativity thread within the RED project, in a way that was notpossible through traditional methods.Within the Creativity thread of the RED project, we consider MATLAB as one of the mostessential tools that all ECE students and future engineers should be able to use effectively.MATLAB® (by MathWorks, Inc.) is chosen not only for its very high quality and versatility, butbecause it represents a generally accepted standard in science and engineering educationworldwide.  This work in progress paper presents inclusion of MATLAB

engineering concepts through examples from their own livesis a powerful way to help engage students. It helped to deepen student understanding of coursematerial, and got students to start asking questions about other applications of engineeringprinciples rather than just reproducing calculations. It also helped to get students more involvedin lectures and helped turn the lectures into active learning exercises. This experience has led theinstructor to reexamine some of the examples that are used in other classes to see how they couldbetter connect to students.5. Bibliography1.
