Abstract :
Electrical engineering should be taught in a problem-solving environment in the light of broad objectives guided by the scientific method. Instead, courses are often designed for limited objectives with course content tailored to the interest of the teacher who has abandoned a careful exposition of the scientific method in favor of idealized generalizations. Consequently, students graduate who cannot deal adequately with complex problems arising from real-world situations
