analog communications (AM, FM) and digital communications (4-FSK, 4-PSK) werepresented, along with explanations that should significantly help the motivated educator getstarted.While this paper gives a good start, there is plenty of opportunity to expand on the materialsgiven. The actual crafting of laboratories for students (what they should develop, what theyshould measure) need to be developed as appropriate for the instructor teaching the course.Unfortunately, in both the analog and digital communication cases, over-the-air performance wasfound to be less than perfect. This was especially true for the digital modulation experiments.The exact remedy for this substandard performance remains an active area of investigation forthe authors

of Reading Assignments in Environmental Engineering Education for Effective Learning and Greater Student Engagement in an Era of Innovative Pedagogy and Emerging Technologies1.0 IntroductionSince the dawn of education, educators have been looking for ways to make teachingeffective and it has been a never-ending pursuit. Engineering education is no exception tothis. There have been numerous pedagogical advances such as focusing on students' learningstyles, teaching aids, in-class assessments, and use of more hands-on activities and multi-media, which made education more effective. Most engineering majors, some more thanothers, have dedicated laboratories for hands-on learning of specific

qualitative strand was executed first, through content analysis of all coursedescriptions in the undergraduate catalogs of the institution under study. This process followed acoding framework based on two elements: a) the different data analysis skills described byABET’s Criterion 3.b, and b) the cognitive levels articulated by each description.Coding Scheme. In order to limit the space of exploration in the varied engineering curricula,the data analysis skills described by Criterion 3.b were tied to either 1) Laboratory courses or 2)Statistics courses. The first were expected to cover the design and execution of experiments,while the latter were expected to cover skills to analyze and interpret data. While it isacknowledged that these abilities are

The freshmen project was developed by multiple instructors frommultiple background designing a student learning experience that integrated elements of appliedmathematics, physics, engineering drawing and a hands-on laboratory experience to design andbuild a simple balance. The hope is that demonstrating the process of integration early in thecurriculum will help students learn to integrate engineering fundamentals and design into appliedpractical projects throughout the remaining 6 semesters of project related course, and may alsobe beneficial in internships and future employment.

explanations [9]. However, thefield of engineering has not yet established a clear idea of what “disciplinary engagement”means.Engineering at its core is about creating solutions to problems using mathematics, science, andcreativity through a design process. The engineering curriculum reflects this by containingdifferent types of courses that teach the mathematical models of natural phenomena (i.e.engineering science courses, or technical core courses), laboratory and experimental techniquesand processes (i.e. lab courses), and fundamentals of engineering design (i.e. design courses).These courses all ask students to engage disciplinarily in different ways, all in support of theoverall practice of engineering to create new solutions.
