In this paper we present a newly developed computer aided learning technique for the Engineering students. The proposed methodology assumes that each student has easy access to well equipped computer lab of the university or his own personal computer, connected to the internet. Document based teaching material is developed by a team of instructor and the software developer, which enables knowledge self-assessment. Typical examples demonstrate the applicability of this system. The purpose of this paper is to explore, with illustrations, the extent to which such benefits can be achieved in practice.
