As such,this course modification process involves more than 50 faculty members from multipledepartments and colleges. The process entails intensive week-long workshops, report-backaccountability sessions, closing-the-loop sessions, support teams of faculty from related contentareas, coordinators, peer-reviewers, and a leadership team of university administrators, facultyand staff.This paper will explain the reason and objectives for the course modifications and will detail theprocess to modify many diverse courses including faculty evaluation of the program.

learn best design practices6-8. It is worth to remember, thatan engineer is a problem solver - designing large or not so systems, operating engineering systems likecommunication services, power systems, or managing systems and services. Therefore, an engineershould be a designer, a thinker, and a systems integrator. Hence, the education should inculcate intostudents various aspects such as engineering principles, standards and practices, design methods,modeling and optimization skills, systems analysis, integration techniques and new technologies. Anengineer can become a thinker or an innovator only if he or she is allowed to independently put togetherall applied science concepts to solve a practical problem, by considering every alternative

After characterizing the impact of mapping one gate at a time on the adderperformance, multiple gate LUT mapping was performed. For multiple gate LUT mapping, thegates were selected using three algorithms: independent selection, dependent selection, andparametric-aware dependent selection.

The main objectives of the course are for students to identifyauthentic engineering problems, select one and characterize it to propose a solution through thedesign, implementation and testing of an embedded system of their own. 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
