individually? After reviewing literatureon both project based learning and exceptional coaching, we have found that much can be learned fromJohn Wooden, Phil Jackson and other coaches. This paper will organize some of the best practices insports coaching and draw parallels that will enhance student learning in project based instruction. Thepaper discusses the parallels between the instructor and the coach and highlights three broad categoriesof techniques: 1) Practice and games, 2) Teamwork and individual performance, and 3) Individualfeedback for improvement. Some of these techniques have been used to successfully enhance learning ina senior design course in Industrial Engineering at Cal Poly. The insights in this article will open up arich area of

The paper willpresent the results of this and several other projects designed and developed under the NSF CCLIgrant and discuss the students’ changing attitudes to electromagnetics.Introduction “Electromagnetics is hard.” This is probably one of the most common first thoughts thatcome to mind whenever electromagnetics (EM) is invoked. The real meaning of this phrase isoften even more discouraging: EM is widely believed to be overly theoretical, unintuitive and alittle irrelevant in today’s engineering world. And this is, typically, an opinion of a person who issomewhat familiar with EM, e.g. a graduate engineering student who took electromagneticsduring their junior or
