We also emphasize programming projects, whether in the creation of their own video games or for programmingof robotic devices or designs. While each of these themes are extensive and a thorough review of each is beyond thescope of this paper, they share the underlying premise of the primacy of meaningful engineering as a gateway toimportant content and personal achievement.

For many this is their first teachingassignment. I was one of these graduate students. I was assigned to teach an engineeringeconomics course at the undergraduate level in the Fall 2003 semester at Old DominionUniversity (ODU). There were 36 students in my class. All of them had either junior orsenior standing in their departments. They were from various departments, i.e., CivilEngineering, Electrical/Computer Engineering, Engineering Technology, MechanicalEngineering, and Computer Science.New educators, especially graduate students, in

Among her comments was theobservation that breakthroughs in technology today are driven by the convergence of multiplefields, thus requiring that engineers develop a multidisciplinary perspective. The engineeringeducation community is challenged to increase breadth without sacrificing disciplinary depth.Dr. Jackson asked whether the time has come to seriously consider designating the master’s

suggests thatas much as half a course could be devoted to these topics as core material included in everycomputer engineering program. An expedient way in which this can be done is to require a 3-hour core course in "Embedded Systems and Real Time Programming" as part of the computerengineering curriculum.Hughes and Nelson1 define computer engineering as the following: "Computer engineering embodies the science and the technology of design, construction, implementation and maintenance of the hardware and the software components of modern computing systems and computer-controlled equipment. Computer engineers are solidly grounded in the theories and principles of computing, mathematics and engineering, and apply these theoretical

There are manyimportant studies, such as concurrent engineering have been performed about this subject andthese studies have been successfully integrated to the conventional design process1. As a resultof the growth of the companies, departments could be located in the different places and far fromeach other, so that the professionals have less and limited opportunity for face to facecommunication and brainstorming. Therefore, it is a necessity to modify and adapt classicalmethods to the current situation.
