The recent truly revolutionary changes in information technology triggered the rapid proliferation of educational software supporting introductory as well as advanced college-level logic courses. At the same time, many commercial software packages represent a more or less explicit implementation of logic-based programming paradigm. For example, sequential query language (SQL), designed for such popular database management products as Microsoft Access, Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, and free- source MySQL, is based on logical query language called relational calculus. From this perspective, it seems not only desirable, but also imperative to introduce carefully selected industrial software packages into the standard Logic and Critical Thinking courses, thus, explicitly linking logical theory with existing as well as emerging applications in information technology. Some of such applications would include database systems, data mining, logic programming, and Web ontologies, among others. Artificial intelligence is still another multidisciplinary area where logic plays an especially prominent role. In this paper, we intend to show how logic-based industrial software can be used in conjunction with specialized as well as broad-based logic courses.

Experience in distributed virtual collaborative engineering is becoming more and more important as the use of advanced communication and information technologies is transforming engineering companies. To prepare students for this new reality and to respond to corporate demand, universities must begin to incorporate ‘virtual collaborative engineering’ concepts and ‘e-engineering’ technologies into their curricula. In this paper, design, implementation and assessment of a multidisciplinary freshman engineering and technology course is discussed. The aim of the course is to provide students with the necessary skills and practices in the latest methodologies and technologies to apply in a virtual collaborative engineering environment.

Derivatives are a crucial ingredient to a broad variety of computational techniques in science and engineering. While numerical approaches for evaluating derivatives suffer from truncation error, automatic differentiation is accurate up to machine precision. The term automatic differentiation comprises a set of techniques for mechanically transforming a given computer program to another one capable of evaluating derivatives. A common misconception about automatic differentiation is that this technique only works on local pieces of fairly simple code. Here, it is shown that automatic differentiation is not only applicable to small academic codes, but scales to advanced industrial software packages. In particular, the general-purpose computational fluid dynamics software package FLUENT is transformed by automatic differentiation.

This article discusses the portability of the Canadian-made simulation software package, “Electronic Workbench” package (EWB) to China. As part of a larger project investigating the portability of various educational software packages, the EWB package was used in electronics instruction in China and was also evaluated by specialists relative to its potential usability and value in Chinese schools and higher education. Through these experiences, an analysis was made about the educational value of EWB in China and the problems likely to confront its more general use in the country. In addition, ideas are proposed for the extension of the EWB package itself and for further development of “workbench” software for other subjects.
