The usually corequisite laboratory provides anexperience garnered from several EE laboratories for the ME student. Obviously the MEcurriculum still considers that a modicum of understanding of the breath of the EE profession isrequired for its profession and practice. Why is it that a different opinion seems

The laboratory experiments prepare students for performing electrical measurementsusing National Instruments MyDAQ which is a portable data acquisition device. The purpose of usingMyDAQs instead of conventional lab equipments is to allow students to work on their circuits outside thelab hours. Students are provided with MyDAQ devices in the first day of the class and they can use themat home or in the lab throughout the quarter. Moreover, students are exposed to working with simulationtools such as LTSpice, MATLAB and Simulink to simulate electrical circuits and to design signalprocessing algorithms.The course roadmap is shown in Table 1.

Therefore, it iscritical that the curriculum to be designed to add laboratory components to help students gainhands-on experience with the hardware and software listed in Table 2. As part of this proposalwe plan to develop a proper curriculum for these topics and cover them within at most a threecourse communication curriculum as detailed in Section 2.The results of Figures 1 and 2 confirm that the current practice of teaching Communicationcourses such as Wireless Communications, Communication Theory, and Digital Communicationsare not fully consistent with

Most of these devices contain fans which have to be controlled to keep theelectronic environment at a stable temperature. This represents a practical application that canfamiliarize students with different engineering theories and concepts such as PWM andfrequency measurement techniques.The system design is shown in Figure 2(a). The fan is equipped with an integral tachometerwhich allows the monitoring and controlling of the fan’s speed. The controller utilizes a simplepulse width modulator to change the width of the pulse provided to the fan and thus, allowing tochange its speed. Although the fan’s speed is calculated by

These posters need to be informative and professional in appearanceso that teachers will want to host them, but they must also strongly identify VUW with an areaof “digital” engineering. We are not concerned that WelTec will also feature on these posterssince (as discussed) VUW attracts a different student cohort.In the absence of dedicated engineering

Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of

It uses real-lifeprocesses and objects, such as those related to fiber optics, wireless and wired communicationsas the context for science and technology investigations. This enables students to: (a) learn therelationship between the scientific theory and its practical applications in technology, and (b)explore the processes occurring in the system and constraints between its parts and parameters,and (c) observe system limitations and bottlenecks. ALSuite is based on a proven pedagogicalassumption that students learn effectively and master science and technical concepts
