For example, Nitschke et al. developed a one day contest for students on taughtM.Sc. and undergraduate courses 9 . In their work they detail an interdisciplinary designcompetition where students use open-source libraries to develop a program to autonomouslyguide a drone from a start point to a final destination. Visual markers help the UAV navigate itsway along the course. It was observed that students taking part in the competition developed adeeper understanding of the potential uses and limitations of UAVs. It was also noted that therewas a steep learning curve associated with the drones used.The use of UAVs to develop

A laboratory course accompanies almostevery electronics engineering technology course in the IET curriculum at East CarolinaUniversity. In these laboratories, students design and construct electronic circuits and machines,then use electrical test equipment to measure the characteristics of the constructed circuits andmachines to compare their findings with theory presented in the corresponding lecture courses.
