Algebra is used in many ways in the software of the application courses the students take.  My continual search is for more and better ways to activate interest and motivation in learning Algebra for these students. 

Beyond giving elementary application examples of that algebra in the types of software used in their fields of study [we have little time for more], which I do, and which works in many cases, are there any other thoughts/methods/ideas that other instructors can supply to me in this quest?

Thanks.
