Details of the antennas course approach, structure, andimplementation are presented, including the learning objectives, course topical and pedagogicflow, and a practical antenna simulation project utilizing the NEC2 computationalelectromagnetics software. The discussion section addresses results, lessons learned, andplanned improvements for future offerings of the course.I.

cause serious errors in shafts' deflection resulting from eccentric and nonaligned gearsmounted on the shaft. This manufacturing defect induces loads that depend on the rotating speedof the shaft, which, in turn, causes dynamic deflections that are speed-sensitive and could fallbeyond the allowable limits of deflection at the shaft's operating speed. The authors addressedthis potential manufacturing defect issue in a Machine Design class as a term project, which alsorequired students to transfer and apply content knowledge from their dynamics and vibrations’courses to come up with a viable design for the system in question. The authors and the studentstogether believe that this project rendered important engineering education objectives in
