The project-based learning approach is one of the innovative methods promoted inengineering education. Khorbotly developed a computer vision curriculum in the undergraduateelectrical engineering program using a project-based learning pedagogy. Some issues implementedin project-based approach are addressed (Khorbotly, 2015). Luo presented an on-going multiple-project-based pedagogy

Breaking Stovepipes and Interweaving Anchoring Concepts Through Knowledge IntegrationPedagogically, students’ lack of perceived utility and low self-efficacy can be attributed to thelack of threads throughout the curriculum that weave foundational concepts and the creativityand professional aspects of engineering throughout the curriculum. This is particularly true forthe sophomores and juniors that are asked to comprehend complex subjects such as electronics,signals and systems, and electromagnetics, in isolation. Knowledge integration (KI) acrossdifferent core competency areas will become an essential piece in the curriculum to weavetogether anchoring concepts from different subject contents to make learning

This studyaims at integrating MSO features into analog oscilloscopes to teach students both digital andanalogue systems and signal analysis. The proposal will show how the MSOs can be used in theelectrical and computer engineering curriculum through an “Introduction to Microcontrollers”laboratory course. Two labs are introduced to allow the students to analyze and study the digitaldomain of the Serial Peripheral Interface (SPI) and the Inter-Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocols.Finally, the labs will teach the student how to analyze machine code and map it into both assemblyinstructions and high

AbstractElectrical Engineering students usually have to wait a long time before acquiring the mathematics andphysics prerequisites required to take their first technical courses and even when they take courses such ascircuits, electromagnetics and digital logic, they are not given an opportunity to develop a system-levelunderstanding about the interrelation of the topics that they study in these courses. In fact in many electricalengineering programs, students have to wait until their senior year before

ME.Bringing It TogetherThe integration of courses from another Engineering discipline into an undergraduate degreeprogram seems to be fraught with difficulties. The faculty from each discipline is concernedthose requisite courses define the degree program and that other courses can only be approvedelectives. Although a typical curriculum could include as many as three Engineering electivecourses, the advising suggestion that predominates for such courses is only those from thediscipline. This is especially endemic when preparatory and prerequisite courses are consideredwithin an Engineering degree program.EE courses such as electromechanical systems and power generation and transmission require anEE degree course in electromagnetics and transmission

B) Employ modern tools, skills, and techniques to emphasize fundamental concepts rather than teach legacy materials emphasizing rote, analytical solutions. C) Create an effective introductory EM course which will pipeline students into the electromagnetics-photonics curriculum at OSU, including graduate programs.These goals, described in

Theobjective of the experiment is to measure the speed of sound by measuring the time delaybetween the original and reflected signals.

School of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECEN) mayhave a wealth of knowledge after completing their required courses, but will graduates havedeveloped the skills needed to be an engineer? To create a more effective, engaged, and efficientcurriculum, the ECEN department is implementing program change from a primarily knowledge-based paradigm (acquiring a set of concepts) to being development-based (emphasizing students’development). In a development-based program faculty redefine their roles from lecturers tomentors and scholars, guiding academic development towards complex problem solving tied toreal world problems. Six of OSU’s ECEN faculty have come together to adapt active learningmethods to ten strategic courses within the curriculum
