It is now much easier to prepare extensive written documents to hand out, and usecolorful and animated slide presentations instead of the conventional blackboard "chalk-and-talk" style teaching.

This is a concerning issue as we need to produce professionals from our ET schoolswho will be able to work with the current and future technologies with minimal additionaltraining. We can think of several reasons to explain the absence of these subjects in ourclassrooms. First, because these are relatively new services and technologies not all programdirectors or instructors may be familiar with them, especially given the complexity of systemsoperating at microwave frequencies. In second place, it may not be very clear in which ETprograms these topics should be taught. Most of the current Electrical Engineering

While ECEN 2270 is a hands-on laboratory course, the exercises areall directed toward building a product, not exploring the fundamental principles of circuits.When we were asked to teach the ECEN 2250 course for the first time, we believed that it wasimportant to include a hands-on laboratory experience. However, we were constrained in not beingable to change the course from a 3 to a 4-credits, could not change the meeting pattern of three,50-minute sessions per week, and did not have physical laboratory space available for the 138students to

[1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and
