Due to the potential for researchthat this relatively new field holds, and its importance to homeland defense, we have built a newBiometric Signal Processing Laboratory, and developed a new course in biometric signalprocessing. This course was designed for seniors in the electrical engineering major so that theycould become familiar with the basis for these new technologies. The course was organized togive the students some background in image processing, from which the identificationalgorithms are formulated, and had them design simple identification algorithms.

Felder argues that iffaculty would employ teaching methods that address all the basic learning styles at least some ofthe time, that students would have more interest in the topics being discussed, and thereby gainbetter understanding.The Problem:As in many science and engineering courses, there are topics that must be introduced to thestudents before they can begin to understand the bigger picture. In an introductorymicroprocessor course one of these difficult topics is addressing modes. The author believed thatthe topic of addressing modes could be covered more efficiently, saving time for more advancedtopics later in the semester.

Construction forHumanity is a course developed and offered at Union College with several goals in mind.The most important is to show the seamless connection that exists between Liberal Arts andEngineering. This is demonstrated using numerous examples of ancient and modernstructures in an interdisciplinary fashion.

However, Felder, Woods, Stice, andRugarcia9 claim that engineering classrooms typically have an instructor at the front of the room,imparting information, while students take notes. This type of instruction does not capitalize onthe challenge and creativity that should be inherent in the study of any subject, especially onelike engineering, nor does this traditional instruction align with Accreditation Board forEngineering and Technology (ABET) requirements for teaching communication and teamwork10.Williams11 states that engineering education has “been scrutinized and found inadequate toprepare its students for technical work in the twenty-first century” (p. 149) and claims thatABET's new accreditation

One reason may be that the K-12 educational system has failed to engage or exposestudents to technical application or workplace skills either early or extensively enough, orarticulate high school students to 2- or 4-year manufacturing programs [1, 2]. Another reason isthat institutions of higher education (IHEs) often produce too few graduates to fulfill AMindustry demands, and many engineering technology graduates are not gaining the right skill setsfor available positions [3].
