, and neural networks.Though it might be convenient (at least for faculty) to attempt to simply cover more technicalmaterial in the curriculum, we believe that updating the learning process is equally important.Several years of experience in teaching communications and signal processing at both under-graduate and graduate levels, as well as discussions with colleagues, have provided the authorconvincing evidence that engineering educators should make a major effort to show how abstractsystems principles can be applied to real-world problems. This leads to a more general and moreimportant concern: students cannot use these concepts effectively unless they can move beyondmere comprehension and develop the higher-order skills of analysis

Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course

Nevertheless I felt that I gained a lot of newknowledge and new ideas during the summer interns.The four areas in which I benefited from the summer interns were: • Teaching method improvement • Teaching material enrichment • Continuous professional development • Application of mathematics in manufacturing technologyEach of them will be slightly discussed in the following sections.The summer interns were in two large orthopedics manufacturing companies.

My professional experience began at General Motors, where I worked throughout high school and college. This experience fueled my passion for engineering, but my subsequent transition to teaching truly ignited my spirit. I began teaching at the University of Dayton, moved to Shawnee University, and ultimately found my home at Marshall University. I work in the College of Engineering and Computer Science at Marshall. My mission is to inspire and educate the next generation of innovators. Education is about imparting knowledge
