Abstract
The “problem solving” portion of a two semester first year electrical engineering course is described. This course makes use of personal computers and spreadsheets to try to improve students’ problem solving skills. The goal is to give students a better understanding of engineering concepts and not just mathematical details. In addition to describing the course contents, a brief review of the rationale that was used in selecting the hardware and software used in the course is also given.
