This integration is viewed as an essential step toproduce engineering graduates with skills that make them competitive in the global workforce.Typically, the courses in the ECE curriculum are taught as discrete units in relative isolation ofeach other. This approach does not effectively deliver the critical-thinking competencies

Virtually any non-trivial system - an electronic automotive enginecontrol unit for example - requires an understanding of concepts from across the entire spectrumof ECE. Furthermore the central component that integrates these concepts is an embeddedcomputer. As a means of reducing the tendency to "boxing", we use our introductory course inembedded computing to motivate and contextualize concepts from across our curriculum.Many ECE curricula have a course in microcontrollers or embedded computing, covering topicssuch as digital input/output (I/0), analog to digital conversion (A/D) or the use of timers. Whilethis is certainly prerequisite knowledge, little is done to

Multidisciplinary problems are often left to latter years, thereby leavingthe students with an incomplete picture of how course subject matters relate and fit in alarger view of engineering and design.
