Dear Netters

I have just finished teaching an Introductory Statistics course (to electrical
engineers) and I'm sure I put more of them to sleep than I actually taught. As 
this is a common complaint about Statistics courses in general, does anyone 
have any suggestions as to how statistics can be taught in a stimulating
fashion? I tried to use examples and anecdotes from my own background in
industry wherever possible, which of course helped, but I'm sure you know the
general problem. Any suggestions?
