Although high school courses may be an early stage to introduce complexelectromagnetics, the manufacturing and use of simple antenna topologies, especially patchantennas, can establish a strong foundation for future learning and encourage students to chooseSTEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) careers.At the post-secondary education level, the emphasis shifts to understanding either practicalapplications of antennas for a specific purpose such as cybersecurity-focused programs or deeperunderstanding of electromagnetics and other types of antennas.

The students strongly agreed that the courseprepared them better for future engineering careers.The future scope of the EMC course development is critical to ensure that the course remainsrelevant and effective. The course should be updated to incorporate new technologies and practices,expand hands-on exercises and projects, collaborate with industry partners, and incorporate onlinelearning. By continuously updating and improving the course, instructors and administrators canensure that it remains relevant and effective for future generations of electronic design experts. VI.

Similar to Bloom’s, Fink’s significant learning outcomes also help inform the educators’ processes as they set goals for a course.c. ABET Engineering Criteria In addition to the taxonomies mentioned, the seven engineering criteria of Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) guide educators in the design of curricular offerings and evaluation methods to ensure that engineering programs, including ECE education, meet certain standards [16][19].

the classroom more interactive. This helps studentssee right away if they're doing things right or wrong so they can fix mistakes as they go.In the early 1900s, a researcher named Jean Piaget found that kids understand things better whenthey do hands-on activities instead of just hearing facts [1]. And other experts like Meyers andJones agree that learning is more effective when students are actively involved, like reading,writing, talking, solving problems, or answering questions in a thoughtful way [2].Also, many studies have shown that technology and hands-on activities can help studentsunderstand how theory connects to real-life situations in engineering projects. This kind oflearning, called experimental-centric-based instructional
