Students need to develop self-directed learning skills, systems-levelthinking, the ability to integrate principles of sustainability into design solutions andrecognize that they serve a global community.

The design report evaluation test reported positive resultsfor MEA online courses [24].Study 2Another study by Chatterjee et al. (2016) [21] investigates the design of an asynchronous onlineengineering classroom, focusing specifically on cognitive radio networks. A prominent feature ofthe course design is the emphasis on various assessment methods, including asynchronous onlinediscussions, virtual labs, open-ended module assignments, and a final project. Central to thisapproach is the integration of feedback mechanisms within these assessment methods [21]. Theeducational strategies in this study stray away from the traditional

. Part ofthis increase is probably because the faculty members have become more adept at teaching thealternative design. For instance, the faculty members incorporate more examples from previousmechanical engineering students in their instruction. Another part of this increase is probablybecause the students have seen older students use the design in senior design presentations andhave interpreted the alternative design as an integral part of this engineering community. What is also interesting is an examination of the slide designs that these undergraduatesuse after they leave the laboratory course sequence. Our examinations of senior designpresentations over the past three years have found that in these presentations, only about half

anything, the pace of this change is accelerating. Although there are exceptions, in general, engineering education has not kept up with this changing environment. I think it is only a slight exaggeration to say that our students are being prepared to practice engineering in a world that existed when we were trained a generation or two ago. They are not being prepared for the 21st century.”□ “So, what needs to change? A lot, I think! Most obviously, we need to focus on curriculum, pedagogy, and diversity. … But the need for change goes deeper … We need to scrutinize the current system of faculty rewards … Recall that my definition of engineering is design under constraint.

A number of wide bandwidth analog expansion daughter boards are also beinginstalled as part of this laboratory upgrade. During the 1980’s, with the continuous increasingspeed of digital computers, it became apparent that digital signal processing would become aviable alternative to analog signal processing. In recognizing this trend, digital signal processinglecture and laboratory courses were introduced into the Electrical Engineering curriculum atSouthern University during the early 1990’s.

Many colleges and universities now include one ormore robotics courses in their curriculum.

These courses give IoT certificate students the ability to pick up some basic skillsabout these topic areas without taking the entire two-year programs that those courses areassociated with. This is an exciting and rapidly growing area with the additional promise of built-in machine learning (ML) driving the artificial intelligence (AI) aspects of these IoT enabledcontrol systems.

These numbersdo not just disincentivise students from pursuing their desired majors and their passionsbut also suggest a need for an immediate change to improve disciplinary education, ifnot completely returning to an integrative multidisciplinary approach.The vitality of multidisciplinary education is therefore evident. However, the approachtowards this collaborative education is just as important.
