had practice with fully solving computational problems on thetopic. The students were told that error detection problems were fair game on the two midtermexams and final exam.In presenting the general concept of error detection problems, the instructors explained to thestudents that the problems were being implemented for the following reasons: • Literature suggests that seeing material both as an error detection problem and regular solution problem would improve their learning. • It can be common for an engineer in industry to review a colleague’s work for correctness. Thus, students would benefit from practicing a skill that may be used after graduation. • It was believed that error detection problems would

In 1971 5.3% of the BS degrees awarded were in engineering, in 2001 4.3% ofthe degrees were awarded in engineering. The percentage of students graduating with a BS inengineering, much like the actual numbers, decreased by 1976, steadily increased through 1986and declined dramatically by 19902.In response to the trends mentioned above there has been a plethora of activity focusing onimproving lower level courses. This is undoubtedly due to the fact that changes at the lower levelwill effect more students and therefore have a more cost-effective impact.
