saying. Instructors are generally experts in only one discipline, and so effectively teaching agroup of students from various disciplines may require additional tools and resources. Instructorsof such courses should not be expected to teach material outside of their discipline, but shouldinstead act as guides for students, directing them towards tools for self-learning.Innovation-Based LearningThe Innovation-Based Learning (IBL) framework was designed to create and encourage aninnovative multidisciplinary learning environment [10]–[14].

The four concentrations vary slightly in terms of required electrical engineeringtopical areas. For example, like the earlier research indicates, all Systems Engineering programsinclude controls in their curricula, which can greatly benefit from instrumentation background,which in turn requires this course to cover certain electrical engineering topics.

This phenomenon wasactually observed during an internal bi-annual review of the capstone design projects in theElectrical and Computer Engineering Department at WPI where it was observed that studentswere having a difficult time synthesizing designs.3 To correct this problem, a radically differentcourse in ECE Design was developed to teach the fundamentals of designing electrical systemsto students at the end of their sophomore year.
