problems are faced in control as well. Both communication and control arerequired courses that every student must take and pass before they can graduate. The Communication course in the Electrical Engineering ProgramsMy experience in teaching undergraduate electrical engineers suggests that the communicationcourse as presently offered should no longer be a required course for graduation for a bachelordegree in electrical engineering. This paper provides discussion and reasons why thecommunication should be dropped from the requirement for graduation.An electrical engineering program has a communication course offering that has the followingpre-requisites [1]. These are: Fourier analysis and transforms, solution to ordinary and

The students whoparticipated on these projects were excited about contributing to a worthwhile activity.The projects also helped educate the students about energy.
