While this was a known problem for theEE program, a closed-loop educational assessment and improvement was conducted to close thegap and relate students to their field of study as early as the first semester of study. In this newapproach to the lower-division courses students will start system view courses and currentprototyping circuits and tools were used to set up the laboratory experiments. The goals of thisstudy were: a) Integration of courses and providing a system view in the lower-division courses. b) Improving retention and engagement in early years of study. c) Closing the gap between lower-division and upper-division courses by practicing system view projects using

This is a university that serves the educational needs of the Church ofUganda and admits any qualified student in Uganda or students of other countries. The Churchof Uganda has about 5 million members which is approximately 20 per cent of the 24.7 millionpopulation of Uganda1 . The results of a survey conducted over a four year period show thatthere is both a need to train scientists and engineers as well as a need to train teachers at thesecondary level to teach the basics of science and engineering.

Motivating cadets’ learning in engineering education is always critical, however thisbecomes even more important when teaching engineering courses to non-engineering majors. Inorder to influence these students we develop an active learning environment. Class sizes areconstrained to no more than 18 students. This allows for more instructor-student interaction.Each class of students is organized into three or four person groups. This helps the cadets learnby helping each other, and also forces them to work as a member of a team, an ability required ofArmy officers. The active learning environment involves many hands-on applications ofengineering. Many physical models, training aids and laboratories are used to enhance the activelearning atmosphere. 4

. Ultimately, the solution to the lack of dedicated engineering space was simple (butnot easy): construct a new building. However, building a new space on campus requiresinstitutional support and a funding source. The College President and College Advancementoffice began raising funds to design and build an addition to the existing science center. Theseefforts culminated in the construction in 2017 of a joint Engineering and Biomedical SciencesHall, which included a dedicated engineering laboratory, an engineering computation lab, amodern teaching classroom, three faculty offices, and two “project labs” intended to provideworkspace for Engineering and Integrated Science design, research, and capstone projects.However, shortly after construction was
