to the electricalengineering courses can increase the challenges for students and thereby their motivation andinterests [12-27]. Bearing this in mind, the lecturers can give them the form of specificobjectives, contextualized within the subject requirements, formulated as competencies whichthe student must have acquired by the end of a power electronics course, such as:1. Providing the students with the fundamental power electronics concepts and to prepare themfor advanced study in electrical engineering areas.2. To learn how to search for, classify and analyze technical information about equipment andcomponent datasheets and to be able to identify suitable information sources.3. To provide hands-on and experimental experience to supplement

evident that these skill sets, in particular entrepreneurially-minded education, arevaluable in preparing undergraduate engineering students to join the complex, technology-enabled, global 21st-century workforce [10]. In addition to integration into classrooms byindividual faculty members, programs like the NSF-funded I-Corps™ for Learning program (I-Corps™ L) have supported this shift in curriculum and aim to improve the scalability ofeducational innovations by leveraging the entrepreneurial mindset [10].The Kern Entrepreneurial Engineering Network (KEEN) values EM for its potential to graduateengineering students who go on to “create personal, economic, and societal value through alifetime of meaningful work” [10]. The EM is often discussed in
willingness to aid in developing opportunities that would build theskills through hands-on, industry driven projects. From these conversations, some key takeawaysincluded the student’s lack of being able to develop a Production Part Approval Process plan,design fixtures to hold parts or measuring instruments during the inspection process,misunderstanding of data in control charts, and inability to complete a design of experiments.With this in mind, manufacturing and quality engineers from local injection molding companiesand small machine shops were asked about donating parts (good and bad), as well as theassociated mechanical drawings, for students to use as part of class projects. In turn for donatingparts, these representatives would be invited to

, Introductionto Project Development, with two additional goals in mind: 1. Teach students design and project development well before they encounter them in their Capstone projects. 2. Provide an environment for experiential learning where integration of various strands of electrical and computer engineering disciplines can happen.Similarly to the first goal, some programs offer so-called “cornerstone” courses [3], but themajority of these seem to be freshman courses aiming to provide motivation for potentialengineering students while providing somewhat authentic experiences. These freshman students,however, will typically not have enough technical background to accomplish the second goal. Inour curriculum, students enrolled in ECE 211/212

Full Paper: Advice From a First Year StudentAbstractMuch attention is paid to the transition from high school to college. Students who haverecently gone through this transition may have some of the best advice to offer in-comingfirst year students. With this in mind, 152 students completing the second course of acommon first year engineering program were given team assignments (for a total of 42teams) asking them to provide approximately 6 pieces of advice for next year’s first yearstudents. Major advice offered by the students included the following themes: timemanagement, utilizing resources, hard work, preparation (the importance of which maybe emphasized by the “flipped “class format), teaming (which may have arisen due to theteam-nature
