Demonstrating students\u27 skills on integrating knowledge of math and engineering in an applied programming course in civil engineering

Innovative approaches in teaching and learning can be introduced in the classroom using the computer. In a laboratory class on Computer Methods in Civil Engineering at De La Salle University, students develop simple computer software applications and computer-based games on topics related to civil engineering using Visual Basic. By creating their own software applications, the students demonstrate the student outcomes on application of mathematics, science and engineering in solving engineering problems using modern engineering tools. © 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc
