In their capstone project, students utilize and adaptavailable technologies to create devices to assist persons with disabilities from the users’perspective. To this end, at the first course of the Engineering Design sequence, students are firstreferred to healthcare facilities and local schools that host students with learning disabilities inorder to gather information

tostudents is through the use of a traditional lecture style class. However, in such a setting, keepinga large class engaged in the material can present quite a challenge. This challenge can be partlymet through the use of technology, student response devices, and/or carefully crafted lectures.Even so, some students will remain unengaged due to other factors like physical/mentalexhaustion or the many distractions a large room full of over 300 students can present. Thisbecomes an even larger challenge in the case of a first-year introductory engineering course dueto the varied backgrounds of the students; some of whom have completed high-schoolengineering programs and might have experienced similar subject matter previously.

Agoal of this approach is to expose students to foundational concepts in critical ECE areasincluding wireless communications, micro/nano-technology, computer chips, biotechnology,robotics, power, signal processing, and photonics earlier in the ECE curriculum. The curriculuminnovation captures the primary focus of assisting students in understanding and realizing thebroader scope of ECE.
