to the recognition of the need for moresystemic change. Combined with department chair support, a diversity/inclusion initiative andthe vision of a group of faculty, a project emerged from over two years of efforts.The project uses a cross-functional, collaborative instructional model for course design andprofessional formation, called X-teams. X-teams are reshaping the core technical ECE curriculain the sophomore and junior years through pedagogical approaches that (a) promote designthinking, systems thinking, professional skills such as leadership, and inclusion; (b) contextualizecourse concepts; and (c) stimulate creative, socio-technical-minded development of ECEtechnologies. An X-team is comprised of ECE, design and engineering

. However, they do so without any formal lectures or assignments and simplyout of necessity to make their implementation process easier. With that in mind, my colleaguesand I are planning on designing an intermediate Verilog class focused on many of the conceptshighlighted in the previous paragraph. Unlike the introductory computer engineering coursedescribed in this paper, the course will focus solely on Verilog. The lectures will cover Verilogsyntax, best practices, synthesis, etc. and the students must implement all of the homeworkassignments and projects in Verilog to give them more and more practice. We plan to roll out thisintermediate Verilog course in the near future and intend to study the course in a similar manneras the study described

The administrator selected thefollowing comments from the following survery request: “List any positive actions you wouldtake in school based on what you learned today”“I'm gonna take a coding class next year in school”“This activity in general opened me up to a whole new world of knowledge.”“ I will be more open minded to learn new things in school related to engineering and science ingeneral."These quotes show that the activity was successful in achieving its goals. When asked how theactivity could be improved, some of the responses included:“Provide a list of vocabulary”“More templates, but not too much”“Slow down the pace since a lot of people were behind”“Maybe slow the pace down”These suggestions

design lifecycle  Engage in community-based educational activitiesWith these goals in mind the Capstone Experience was designed so a team of three or fourstudents would form small “consulting engineering” companies and then, over the course of twoquarters (six months), work on projects submitted by companies in the area.The student teams are mentored by an engineer or manager at the company and “managed” atour university by part-time faculty from the local industrial talent pool. The Capstone facultybrings the necessary real-world experience and soft skills, such as creating and trackingschedules that students need to execute their projects within the allotted time.In Capstone I the student team creates their development contract.

just the electronics education, but also theteam engineering experience, which proved beneficial as preparation for a career in engineering.Introduction The deficit of scientists and engineers compared with the rising need for experiencedprofessionals in all technical fields reveals a need for stimulating interest in science andengineering with America’s youth. Educational programs need to find new and better ways ofengaging young minds to foster a desire to explore technical subjects to prepare the nextgeneration of engineers. One approach to cultivate this desire is to design challenging hands-onprojects that require teamwork to accomplish the design goals. By emulating the process of anengineering manufacturing team, students can

In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and measurement using hardware components. The project furtherrequires that the electrical signals are visualized in both the time and frequency domain toenhance concept understanding. The paper

This group of students had increased workload through the individual core junior-level electrical engineering courses and their LSMs, the associated knowledge integrationmodules between the courses, foundations and professionalism sessions, and team activities.Many students found the “extra” MATLAB assignments overwhelming and overly time-demanding in the context of all the other newly established and required course and programcomponents. “I never had a chance to really try all the problems with multiple other timeconstraints.” “I feel this assignment
