addition, the creation of this course hasincreased student interest in communications systems and RF electronics and electromagneticsand an increase in capstone projects involving these principles. As part of the course evaluation,students are asked if class activities are well prepared. Out of a total of five points, the averageresponse was 4.23 in Fall 2013 and 4.78 in Spring 2014. The students are also asked if theassignments and projects aided in achieving course objectives. The average response was 4.31 inFall 2013 and 4.72 in Spring 2014. One can see that the responses were good and also increasedfor the second offering of the course. This can be attributed to “fine tuning” that was done to theinteractive exercises and the course project

The embedded project for this class is for students to design a Rube Goldbergmachine. Rather than the typical high-school version of this project, potentially involving a lotof dominos and maybe an exploding potato, students must meet specific design goals todemonstrate certain types of motion studied within the class. There are requirements about set-up time and success rate of the machine. (Anyone who has attempted such a machine willrecognize the challenge in having a five-minute reset time and an 80% successful completionrate.) Students must build the machines in a CAD program and
