The student might memorize the words but withoutthe principle the idea will not be understood.Functions"Functions are sets of ordered pairs." "Functions are mappings from a domain to a range.""Functions are by definition single valued." These statements may provide good starting pointsfor mathematical proofs, but they fail to convey the idea. I cannot imagine any calculus studentexpressing a desire to study and acquire information about ordered pairs or mappings from adomain to a range. This certainly is not the image in the minds of engineers who use functions.The functions that are meaningful to engineering students are primarily studied in

example, COMPASS exams are designed to be taken without preparation, butoften students do prepare for them, or take them several times, skewing the results. Also, thetiming of a placement exam can result in improperly placed students. At Boise State it is notuncommon that newly enrolled freshmen took their ACT or SAT one time only, in their junioryear of high school, because their scores at that time were sufficient for admission to theuniversity. Most students in STEM majors (science, engineering, technology and mathematics)go on to take a subsequent math course, resulting in more knowledge than revealed by their ACTor SAT scores. Other students, not destined for STEM majors, may choose to not enroll inmathematics in their senior year of high

By that last phrase we do not wish to imply that we aim to producenovelists or poets, though those too are worthy endeavors; rather, we intend to avoid the tragedyof talent embedded in the following statement by George Heilmeier, corporate executive atBellcore: Communication skills are extremely important. Unfortunately, both written and oral skills are often ignored in engineering schools, so today we have many engineers with excellent ideas and a strong case to make, but they don’t know how to make that case. If you can’t make the case, no matter how good the

Some students who at first disliked the tradi-tional manual drafting turned out to advocate CAD and CAD preference is more influenced by thetraditional drafting experience rather than by keyboard skills.1.IntroductionTowards the end of 1970 CAD has been especially prevailing as the main tool in the field of theautomotive, aircraft, architecture and electricity. Presently, it is not too daring to say that CAD hasconsiderably replaced traditional manual drafting. In light of this technological advancement, CADsystems have been gradually putting into use even in high-school level. Considering the fast tech-nological
