While the Programs will always delivera well-rounded curriculum that prepares students for general careers in the Electronics andTelecommunication industries; the faculty believes, like many other programs, in the importanceof producing graduates that understand innovation and entrepreneurship as well as thetechnical/engineering fundamentals.1,2 For this reason, the curriculum has been changed overtime to provide students with the requisite technical expertise and a strong background in projectmanagement that allows them to understand the planning process behind product and systemdevelopment. Since 2002, the Programs have refined their capstone design course sequence torequire all students to: form a
