The Electrical, Mechanical and Chemical Engineering programsare joining together to achieve this. Although Control is an interdisciplinary technology, there hashistorically been a tendency for the different engineering departments to teach the subject fromtheir very own somewhat narrow perspective without any semblance

Currently, such sophisticated design systemsare available only for specialized companies with large financial resources. The pay-per-useapproach will have tremendous impact on engineering design since the number of engineers andresearchers which have an access to sophisticated design tools will increase by a factor of at leastof 100. This rapid increase in the number of people involved in sophisticated design processeswill significantly accelerate technological development.The common problem being faced by many electronic engineers in industry is that their design

recent years [2-3]. Faculty members are beginning to buy into the idea that retention ratesand graduation rates must be improved in order to bring public accountability to the table incurriculum planning. Developing courses that are motivating and exciting will certainly helpthis cause. This is in contrast to the prior faculty beliefs that (1) it is not their responsibility tomotivate and excite students, (2) students should be motivated by what the future will bringwhen they earn their degrees, and (3) should be excited by the course materials under theassumption that they chose their major based on interest.Anderson-Rowland [4] reported that a students’s reaction to first-year engineering courses is akey to retention, and Tinto [5] reported

Particularly technological studentsare to be competitive in the years to come where faculty needs to be able to provide theirstudents with the cognitive strategies that will enable them to think critically, make decisions,and solve problems. According to Leutner1, in traditional education, the teacher is responsible forthe students' learning. Teachers typically lecture to students who take notes and then memorizeand recall the material to perform well on examinations. This type of learning environment is notappropriate for engineering students who bring life skills and increased reasoning ability to theclassroom.
