The students are not only requiredto create a robot to fulfill the technical challenge, but also to conduct an economic or marketanalysis for their own robots. The final project grade considers students’ performance in bothtechnical and business aspects. Figure 1.

Electrical Engineering curriculum is the Electric Circuits course (4semester credit hours). The course covers electric circuit analysis techniques along with certainaspects of circuit design. The course objectives include circuit analysis, design, simulation, anddata gathering and analysis in the laboratory. The analysis-portion of the objectives emphasizesproficiency in the analysis of DC and AC circuits, including operational amplifiers, first-ordertransient analysis, ideal transformers, and balanced three-phase circuits. The design objectives inthe course include design and construction of simple circuits based on given specifications. Thelab component of the course emphasizes competence in the simulation of circuits with PSPICE,safely

continuing advances in technology, far more resources and tools are available toinnovators and entrepreneurs than in the past. This results in countless opportunities for newapplications and services to be created as well as for existing applications and processes to berevolutionized. Not only have the tools changed, but so has the route to innovation and, with it,society’s ideal image of the value creators. In the early 1900s, large companies such as IBM,Xerox and AT&T leveraged their resources to form research laboratories that invested millionsof dollars in infrastructure, facilities, and personnel. Out of these investments, they were able tocreate structured research groups who then brought about breakthrough-enabling technologiessuch as the
