engineering disciplines should a student decide to transfer to a different department. Additionally, Matlab is used in downstream courses. Engineering Communication: Finally, a couple of lectures were devoted to effective engineering communication. This included report writing, graphical communication (graphs and sketches) and presentations.Despite the known drawbacks of lecturing, the lecture component of this course was included asa venue for announcements as well as content delivery. Lectures were designed to be as interac-tive as possible with student activities (e.g., Bob McKim’ s/Tim Brown’ s 30 circles creativity ac-tivity11 and hands-on computer programming) to engage students.
