Existing edition of textbooksare old and outdated. One text is shared by several students which severely hamper their abilityto prepare for their classes. Several alternatives could be followed to alleviate the problem.As a first alternative, it is necessary to contact American publishers for their South Asian prints. Ihave identified three

This interaction usuallytakes the form of questions and comments that seek clarifications, elaborations, and additionalexamples. The instructor attempts to answer as many of those requests as possible, but is alsoexpected to cover a number of pre-determined subjects in each lecture. Lectures are accompaniedby laboratory-based activities (labs). In each lab the students, individually or in groups, arerequired to carry out certain experiments with real components and instruments, as well asdesign, build and test, their own simple or complex circuits. The labs allow the students not onlyto experience

The course that we created consisted of a series of short lectures on the design process aswell as group activities and exercises to further illustrate these topics. We had a shortintroductory simple design exercise and covered reverse engineering, project management and thedesign process. Mini-projects in class served to illustrate the main points of the design process.Students were also given a logbook in which to record any notes from the class or any ideas thatthey might have in order to prepare them for the idea of keeping a laboratory notebook for thepurpose of patent rights.

expenditure of resources. The ability to develop an appropriate experimentalprocedure is so vital that the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)requires that, “Engineering programs must demonstrate that their graduates have an ability todesign and conduct experiments”1. Given the number of experiments conducted throughout their undergraduate studies, moststudents that have graduated are well prepared to conduct an experiment that has an establishedset of experimental procedures. Unfortunately, students are not nearly as well prepared to designexperimental procedures. Occasionally, laboratory exercises require students to developexperimental procedures.
