Impact of academic computing on teaching electrical engineering at Clarkson University

This paper describes the impact of academic computing on undergraduate electrical engineering courses at Clarkson University. It is not surprising that the computer has had an impact on engineering education since the ready availability of a computer and appropriate software significantly enhances the students' ability to calculate. In this paper, the many changes made possible or made necessary by the ready availability of the computer will be organized in two broad categories: changes to content and changes in presentation.
