Finally, we have included conceptual questions during each class periodto help the students think more deeply about the material (rather than just plugging numbers intoequations). Assessment will be presented using three metrics: final exam averages, scores on theDynamics Concept Inventory, and student attitudinal surveys.IntroductionLandmark publications such as How People Learn and Educating the Engineer of 2020 (alongwith numerous other publications) have suggested that we need to change the traditional way ofeducating engineering

This approach has successfully helped students understand wavepropagation concepts even before the course included a laboratory. The added laboratoryprovides an immediate illustration of transmission line topics using SONNET ™, a 3DPlanar Electromagnetic software package for the design and simulation of microstripcomponents.( SONNET Lite™ is free online but a University Program makes thesoftware available at a discount for colleges and universities.)

In this paper, we detail these newly developed laboratories (based on a 10 weekterm) that allow students to gain hands-on experience with real-world biometric technologies.Each set of laboratories is based on a different clue and the ultimate goal of each laboratoryexperiment is to identify the persons responsible for an imaginary crime.

Inthe lab, students identified their learning styles with Felder’s online assessment tool.2 Learningstyles are discussed explicitly and incorporated into lectures, exams, assignments, and a team-based project. For the final course project, teams of about four students were assigned so that allmajors, learning styles, and genders were represented in each team.

Dueto the relatively small size of the department (undergraduate and graduate population ofapproximately 300 students), EE 433 is the only course available to the students in the field ofmicrowave circuits. For this reason, the course has tried to sample a significant number of topicsfrom the field of microwave circuits, though in the past the course was almost entirely devoted tocomponent-level design.Over the last several years, a popular microwave engineering text1 has been used for the course,and prior to the fall of 2009, the content of the course could be summarized by the lecture topicsand lab exercises listed in Table I.

The assessment of the ability of SOET students to communicate effectivelyin writing is most often done through an analysis of the formal documentation accompanyingend-of-program capstone projects (undergraduates) or master’s projects and theses. Data in someprograms have shown an increase in the length of time required for students to complete theseend-of-program projects, many times as a result to needing additional time to correct and polishwritten documentation. Other anecdotal evidence across many SOET programs indicates thatstudents reaching these capstone and master’s projects are frequently not fully prepared toprofessionally document their results in writing.
