This paper discusses the implementation and assessment of the integration of MATLAB usage into the instruction of an introductory circuit analysis course at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University (ERAU). This teaching practice seeks to enhance student learning by delivering relevant course materials using MATLAB's graphical representation and problem solving capabilities. Also, students learn to plot voltage/current waveforms and other important graphs via simple MATLAB programs. The effectiveness of the teaching practice is assessed through assignments and a survey. Assessment data indicates that integration of MATLAB into course instruction promotes learning and enhances students' computer skills. In addition, students highly appreciate the effectiveness of this teaching practice. © Springer Science+Business Media B.V. 2010.
