Less classroom time will be used to discuss thefabrication process and this discussion will be moved to the laboratory sessions to fill downtimes during the processing. An overview lecture on electrical engineering will be developed andadded, along with more examples and discussions of electrical engineering job positions andskills.

appropriately, simulation can be used to wring the mostperformance out of engineered systems at an acceptable cost. A vivid example of this is the caseof the Speedo LZR swimsuit which was developed through a combination of simulation andphysical testing. Experts used FLUENT, a commercial computational fluid dynamics (CFD)software, to design modifications in the suit that led to a reduction in the water drag on thewearer. Swimmers wearing the LZR suit went on to claim 33 of the first 36 medals in the BeijingOlympic games and continue to break world records, as reported in the popular press6. If mostengineers, not just specialists with Ph.D.’s, are able to deploy simulation effectively, there wouldundoubtedly be significant improvements in the engineered
