Final remarksOffering an undergraduate course in intra-vehicle communication, with a supplemental hardwarelaboratory, has some challenges. In this paper, the author outlined the course content and a fewexamples of laboratory experiments based on Seed studio CAN shield with MCP2515 CAN BusController board and Arduino Mega 2560. The teaching methods used have proven to beefficient tools in responding successfully to the challenge of teaching an automotivecommunication course to both Electrical and Mechanical Engineering students. Additionalenhancements and improvements are planned for the laboratory experiments. This course canserve as a basis for other

establish proper relationship and balancebetween instruction and research, as the commitment to undergraduate education is a crucialinstitutional priority. Intellectual energy comes not only from faculty talking with able studentsbut also from faculty talking with fellow faculty. Some of this activity represents the spirit ofcreativity and curiosity that supports both scholarship and teaching. These major efforts areneeded for faculty development to accomplish this educational challenge 2. Faculty developmentand mentorship programs are definitely important to prepare faculty members for their academicroles including teaching, research, administration, writing and career management 3.

Education, 2016 Systems Engineering and Capstone Projects Abstract Systems Engineering (SE) methods are increasingly being integrated into capstone design projects as a critical component of capstone design competitions, through mentoring during capstone project advising, and through capstone course syllabi development. In this paper, we describe an “engineering science” course developed specifically to teach selected SE topics and designed to primarily prepare third and fourth year undergraduate students for their engineering (ABET) capstone project. The course was developed using an inverted classroom format where students view short, topic
