Learning Probabilities in Computer Engineering by Using a Competency - and Problem-Based Approach

Our department has redesigned its electrical and computer engineering programs by adopting a learning methodology based on competence development, problem solving, and the realization of design projects. In this article, we show how this pedagogical approach has been successfully used for learning probabilities and their application to computer systems.
