Dedicatedlaboratory courses have been the successful vehicle to provide the hands-on experiences at someuniversities, such as the University of South Florida (USF) [3], with tremendous success. Whilethe idea of a dedicated laboratory course in microwave engineering is attractive, it is difficult tointegrate such a course into an emerging curriculum with limited resources. The BaylorElectrical and Computer Engineering Department is in a period of significant growth, but atpresent, the department faculty numbers a mere eleven, with only two members presentlyteaching RF/microwave and electromagnetics courses. A second issue that must be tackled ishow to teach both passive and active circuit design
communication technology. Due todiversity and cultural differences, the leadership style that works in one country may fail inanother. Global leadership, while desired, is more difficult to execute by an individual and issubsequently challenging to teach, especially in the classroom. Thus if there is any chance ofsucceeding in imparting the necessary skills in individuals, it must be done in the field, i.e., whileimmersed in a different culture, language, etc. Our scheme then, is to perform generalizedleadership training experiences and studies in a classroom environment and then provideopportunities to implement what is learned in the classroom in the immersion situation. This ismuch like the typical engineering curriculum where students first learn

These narratives encompass their experiences, challenges, and successes in navigating U.S. academia as an international faculty. This process includes documenting instances of cultural adjustment, professional development and encounters with institutional barriers [16]. We presented each narrative based on themes like transitional experiences, our experiences as graduate students, then transitioning into our first professional roles (postdoc, junior faculty etc), and then finally moving towards post- tenure experiences. b.

This process produced an initial set ofapproximately 10 codes or themes (Table 2).The second stage of our analysis involved axial coding.22 According to Ezzy (2002), “the aim ofaxial coding is to integrate codes around the axes of central categories” (p. 91).22 During axialcoding less-central codes are integrated

The low cost makes this revolutionary approach an effective solutionfor distance labs in this country and for global delivery of valuable hands on lab experiences forpoorer nations.

Integration: In defining “mental integration,” Sorokin states that the “integration of twoor more meanings into one system is an act of creation occurring in the human mind.” (7 p. 63)This treats it as a covert act “in the human mind.” Vanderburg’s description of “invention”includes both covert acts, covert states, and overt acts (8 pp. 135-6), although the acts ofexploring and working out details are usually overt actions, including actions such as writing,calculating, sketching, building physical models, and conversing with others.Empirical Objectification: Sorokin’s characterization of empirical objectification emphasizesthe need for "empirical vehicles through which [new knowledge propositions] can be conveyedto others.” (7 p. 64)These can be

The project team and faculty in EEsuccessfully integrated laboratory experiences into purely theoretical courses via Hardware-in-Homework (HiH) concept [13, 14]. The Analog Discovery kit is a good example of HiH, whichcan play an important role for students who learn EE materials in an online setting. The uniquemeasurement features of the Analog Discovery kit can be appropriately applied to lower to upper-level courses [14]. Due to its readily available and portable nature, it will be beneficial forstudents who learn well with hands-on activities.

StateUniversity COE for more than a decade starting in 1993. During the study period, theCollege moved from a series of separate freshman courses to a dual offering of integratedcourse sequences in the Introduction to Engineering Program (IEP) and the FreshmanEngineering Honors (FEH) Programs. These courses were an adaptation of DrexelUniversity’s E4 curriculum undertaken by the NSF Gateway Engineering EducationCoalition. In 1988, the College’s retention rate to the junior year ranged between 40%and 50%. Retention rates of nearly 58% to almost 84% were achieved throughintroduction of the FIP and the FEH programs.

framework for the design ofassessment activities and the integration of assessment in courses. Assessment for learningsupports the adoption of evaluation and feedback practices that improve student learning goingforward, and assessment that is, in and of itself, a learning activity [10]. As one aspect of this“feed forward” approach [11], assessment for learning aims to not only produce a grade as aproduct of a summative evaluation, but also support improved performance in the future.Assessment becomes not just an add-on to the course design, but a central component of thedesign. This is aligned with a backward design method and Bigg’s constructive alignmentframework [12], [13].Conventionally, assessment is seen as a product of performance or

As weinitially described in a 2006 paper, the Communication across the Curriculum (CxC) programwas established in 2004 with an initial emphasis on engineering students.¹ A key element of theCxC program was the inception of Communication-Intensive (C-I) courses. C-I courses areintended to be integrated into existing discipline-specific courses, with additional requirementsfor emphasis on two of the four modes of communication: written, spoken, visual, andtechnological. In a 2007 survey designed to solicit student perceptions of the value of C-Icourses in the engineering curricula, our
