Integrated Teaching or Learning to Live with the Personal Computer in Engineering Education

SUMMARY: As new technology, such as the personal computer, and wider applications are introduced it becomes more important to integrate subject areas on a degree course in electronics. This is to accommodate the new material without extending course length. Experience in subject integration at first-, second- and third-year level has shown that it increases student awareness and motivation. The development of suitable material is time-consuming whilst its successful implementation relies on close cooperation between subject specialists. © 1992, Copyright Taylor & Francis Group, LLC.
