All four students reported a greater depth ofunderstanding of the concepts taught in electromagnetics and communications courses.Additionally, students gained valuable experience in developing and carrying out fieldexperiments—sometimes in less than ideal conditions—and as a result of this experience, somestudents expressed a desire to pursue a graduate degree. Designing this research project alsoprovided several valuable lessons to the instructors which will aid in the further development ofhands-on learning activities for electromagnetics and communications courses.

The opportunities lie inthe possibility to create an efficient, modern, and attractive program for engineering educationbased on proven innovative teaching methods, state of the art equipment, and a new student-centered curriculum.One of the first questions that immediately arise is “what is the best curriculum for a newprogram in Electrical and Computer Engineering?” In attempting to answer this simple question,many possibilities come to mind and a review of several expert opinions and an analysis of a fewcurricula from leading engineering schools lead to useful conclusions that are described in thispaper.

They are expected toapply knowledge from prerequisite and concurrent courses, learn how to do research anddocument all their work via written technical reports. Furthermore, they acquire practice andtheoretical understanding through design and implementation.In this course students are required for the first time to complete a full design for a project oftheir own instead

A systematic review performed over aspecific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of bestpractices.This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identifiedthrough a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results wereexamined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, andlimitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review.

These three core competencies are also engineeringeducational objectives as dictated by ABET criteria21. Increasing the design component in theundergraduate curriculum better prepares graduates for engineering practice, the end result being a well-rounded engineer. Traditional engineering courses provided graduates with little, if any, experience inengineering application. Electrical and computer engineering courses and labs that have moved towardsan active learning approach through design and open-ended projects or labs offer the greatest

The project-based course and laboratory described in this paper directly addresses these difficulties byhelping students to reduce theory to practice. This approach supports the prerequisitelecture material and allows study of some practical issues which are best handled in alaboratory setting. The course format makes the students gradually more

: Impact on students’ attitudes toward and approaches to engineering design. Teamworkwas a frequent theme in the student reflection logs, which was likely in part due to the fact thatapproximately half of the questions related to team performance and practices. Students oftenobserved that the drawbacks of working in a team (challenges in finding a time to meet,resolving conflict when there were different ideas about how to approach a problem) werebalanced by the benefits (multiple people to approach a problem, the ability to bounce ideas offeach other, diverse strengths and abilities). When asked for evidence about how well their teamwas performing, some students demonstrated a less refined view of the role of teamwork bydirectly linking the

The combination of younger students lacking skills and neededcoursework and seniors graduating makes successful large scale or multiyear projects morechallenging.
