Some lecture sessions are reserved to explain the limitless opportunities available forengineers at Lehigh University. Programs such as Integrated Product Development (IPD),supporting entrepreneurship, and working with Fortune 500 companies in the Co-Op program,are only some things that make a Lehigh engineering education unique. Many lectures focus onthe programs of the engineering departments. Representatives from the seven departmentsprovide information on topics such as curriculum, salary

The course philosophy centers on the idea that the studentshould work through a challenging project, but that student success with their project is a vitalpart of the overall experience. This course serves as a capstone design experience for students, sothey have generally completed most of the curriculum by the time that they enroll in this course.The prerequisites effectively limit the course to students who are in the computer engineeringprogram (as opposed to the electrical engineering program).The design projects are accomplished by self-selected teams of three students.

This follows the baseline-data experimental design discussed by Olds et al.5.Similarly, results from surveys prior to an intervention can be compared to those after theintervention. Since this assessment approach has only been in place for two semesters at thispoint, the program-level assessment data are not yet available.At the course level, in this case, the instructor determined that a detailed example of the solutionof a differential equation by separation of variables and integration should be given in classabout one week prior to the first quiz in future semesters.

In these systems most signal processing is done digitally at lowfrequencies. However, the small number of unavoidable high frequency analog circuits are thedesign bottlenecks of an entire system. Three reasons have contributed to this bottleneck. First,the high frequency analog circuit design requires a good understanding of several core courses inthe electrical engineering curriculum such as; electromagnetic field

The instructor explained the investigations' background concepts to them. Thesamples were prepared at various moisture levels and given to the learners to use in theexperiment. Using a data streamer, they were able to read moisture content readings in real-time.Prior to testing, Arduino code had been integrated to allow for simple conversion from electricalto digital phase. In other tests, the Arduino has produced consistent results for various datagathering and streaming tasks [21]. At the end of the experiment, the learners were able toanalyze, understand, and draw

Thus, the majority of persons with the requisite knowledge and interest will be ECE MSand PhD graduates. While many ECE graduate level students are strong coders, softwaredevelopment skills are not the primary focus of traditional ECE programs, at least whencompared to that of a typical Computer Science (CS) curriculum.
