In the first year of study,engineering students will take foundation courses in written, oral and visual communication.While communication skills are part of every class where reports are written or classpresentations are given, a few courses within the core engineering coursework have beenselected to serve as specific communication skills courses. This selection is obviously notunique and may undergo adjustments as the plan is conducted. During the freshman year, a set ofcourses, part of the

First, we improved the video modules to emphasize that the design of distributedwireless sensing/actuation systems is one example of complex system engineering. We alsodeveloped a set of experiments that expose students to the range of concepts and tools needed todesign a wireless sensor network, and allow them to develop fluency with them in a final designproject. In this paper, we describe both of these efforts, their products, assessment results, andour plans for dissemination.Course Format and EvolutionFor the pilot offering we focused on development of video lecture modules covering corematerial associated with

Rather than have three separate sets of electronics (and the sparesthat might be needed), a good design would reuse the one-use only lunar descent vehicle'scomputer controller board so that it could be used in the habitat or rover. The new projectinvestigated the feasibility of this concept.Dr. Conrad investigated in more detail the avionics planned and already in the Constellationvehicles (Orion, Altair, habitat, Lunar Electric Rover).
