The design team competes in the annualinternational student unmanned aircraft system competition hosted by the Association forUnmanned Vehicle Systems International. The concepts introduced to the students allow them toengage in real-world engineering activities including designing a system based upon therequirements given in a request-for-proposal, integrating various sensors and

To integrate use of this portable instrument across the EE curriculum, the authorsof this work have crafted several projects to supplement traditional courses.Starting freshman year, each student purchases an Analog Discovery unit and the instructorsupplies components and breadboards.

In response to this and the recognized value of creative problem solvingtechniques required for innovation, many engineering educators have begun developing practicalmethods to incorporate assignments that encourage creativity into the curriculum and individualclasses while still emphasizing engineering fundamentals.Traditionally, engineering courses are structured in a deductive manner which begins withinstruction on theories and progresses towards application of those theories.
