their students to take at least one electrical engineering(EE) course1. However, on the other hand, some non-EE majors do not see the relevance of EEto their educational program until they face a real-world problem, often on-the-job aftergraduation, when the opportunity for learning applicable, real world skills or concepts in a coursehas already passed. Thus, one of the significant challenges engineering educators face is how toengage students of all engineering and technology majors in meaningful electrical & computerengineering activities that would encourage them to persist and pursue a career in engineeringand technology. Historically, incoming engineering and technology students had to work through a series ofmathematics and other

ACADEMYAbstract“Introduction to Electrical Engineering” has been a required course for non-engineering majorsat the United States Coast Guard Academy for over thirty-five years. The course’s purpose hasbeen to provide non-engineering majors a basic knowledge of electrical engineering. Acornerstone of this knowledge was an understanding of electrical circuits and electromechanicalmachines.As advances have made technology more prevalent, the course added topics (e.g., electronicnavigation, computers) to maintain its relevancy. In the twelve years since the last significantchange, the pervasiveness of technology in society has increased dramatically. Additionally,student and Coast Guard fleet feedback indicated that the course needed a significant
