Senior Undergraduate Aerospace Engineering StudentParker D. Landon, Boston University I completed two Bachelor’s degrees in Computer Engineering and Space Physics at Embry-Riddle Aero- nautical University in May 2022 and co-authored 4 peer-reviewed publications during my undergraduate career. I plan to complete a Ph.D. at Boston University in Physics, focusing on Accelerator Physics. I am a recipient of the Clare Boothe Luce and Fermilab ASPIRE Fellowships. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2023 (Work in Progress) Implementing the QFT to Incite Curiosity and Connections in an Introductory Electrical Circuits Course for non-EE MajorsAbstractIt

In terms ofethnicity/race, participants were 80.47% white, 10.16% Asian, 4.69% Black or AfricanAmerican, 0.39% American Indian, and 0.39% Native Hawaiian, and 3.91% prefer not to answer.Figure 2 shows the distribution by ethnic background. The largest part of the cohort weremechanical engineering majors (26.95%), followed by aerospace engineering (17.19%) and civiland coastal engineering (15.23%). This is in line with the number of undergraduates in therespective departments at the university surveyed. Electrical engineering students are notincluded because they are required to take “Circuits I,” a 4-credit course with a dedicated weeklylab session. Figure 3 shows the distribution by major.

Sophomore students in Electrical and computerengineering, students from other engineering disciplines like aerospace or mechanical andsome non-engineering disciplines can also benefit from this course.6 Conclusion & Future workThe paper describes MCU-based system design course that was offered to Electrical andComputer Engineering undergraduate students. This course is useful in several ways –firstly, students can get hands-on-experience in building systems that they have learnedabout in theoretical classes. Secondly, they can use it for integrating their chip-baseddesign projects. Thirdly, it could

In this paper, we present a number of remote laboratoryexperiments that were designed and assigned to students pursuing undergraduate degrees inElectrical Engineering, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, andBiomedical Engineering. We discuss how we approached the challenges of delivering the samecourse content to a wide range of undergraduate students pursuing different majors. We share thelessons learned, successes and areas for future improvement of the course.Why we developed take-home hands-on laboratories.Our Electrical, Computer, and Energy Engineering (ECEE) Department at the

important. The electromagnetic (EM) wavesemitted by electronic systems may interfere with other electronic systems, resulting in performancedegradation, system failure, and even hazardous situations. It is particularly critical in safety-critical applications, such as aerospace, medical equipment, and transportation systems, where thefailure of an electronic system could have severe consequences. Almost all countries and nationsmandate that electronic systems must comply with EMC international regulations and standards.To address the growing importance of maintaining electronic system compatibility, thedevelopment of an EMC course becomes necessary.
