“…For example, Refs. 12, 30, 31 report that graphical programming frees students from needing to worry about low‐level programming details. Hence, they can perform a much wider range of experiments including more challenging problems that they would otherwise not have time for.…”

This paper presents EduCOM, a graphical language for teaching and learning digital communication systems. In EduCOM students build graphical models (i.e., block diagrams) of digital communication transmitters, channels, and receivers. Then EduCOM creates the shell of a C/Cþþ code realization of the graphical model, but it leaves the implementation of each block empty so that students are required to implement the functionality of the blocks in a low-level programming language such as C/Cþþ. Therefore, EduCOM goes beyond passive dragÀdrop-connect style activities and forces students to think more deeply about each operation performed on the signals in the system, and preliminary assessment results with a small set of students bear this point out. Students indicated that the mixture of graphical modeling and low-level programming provided by EduCOM is an improvement over pure graphical modeling or pure low-level programming in helping them learn about communication systems. ß

“…Simulink has been frequently used in engineering education for situations where construction of powerful computational tools for system simulation is an integral part of the pedagogy. For example, Simulink has been used as a teaching aid in courses on digital and analog modulation [24], multiphase electric machines [25], river water quality [26], and wastewater treatment plant operation and control [27]. It has been recognized in the engineering education community that use of tools such as Simulink can provide a "learner-centered" environment whereby students are able to create simulation tools that allow personal experimentation of system behavior (e.g., [28]).…”

A stormwater runoff model based on the Soil Conservation Service (SCS) method and a finite-volume based water quality model have been developed to investigate the use of Simulink for use in teaching and research. Simulink, a MATLAB extension, is a graphically based model development environment for system modeling and simulation. Widely used for mechanical and electrical systems, Simulink has had less use for modeling of hydrologic systems. The watershed model is being considered for use in teaching graduate-level courses in hydrology and/or stormwater modeling. Simulink's block (data process) and arrow (data transfer) object model, the copy and paste user interface, the large number of existing blocks, and the absence of computer code allows students to become model developers almost immediately. The visual depiction of systems, their component subsystems, and the flow of data through the systems are ideal attributes for hands-on teaching of hydrologic and mass balance processes to today's computer-savvy visual learners. Model development with Simulink for research purposes is also investigated. A finite volume, multi-layer pond model using the water quality kinetics present in CE-QUAL-W2 has been developed using Simulink. The model is one of the first uses of Simulink for modeling eutrophication dynamics in stratified natural systems. The model structure and a test case are presented. OPEN ACCESSOne use of the model for teaching a graduate-level water quality modeling class is also described.
