Each team is given a maximum budget limit to workwith, which depends on the project and whether there is any external funding available.Typically this budget is in the range of $500-$1,000. Due to this financial constraint, a trip toNicaragua could not be guaranteed for the team chosen for this project, and students selectingthis in their top five were aware of this. In the first meeting of the La Palma team, students wereasked if they wanted to set the goal of implementing this project in La Palma even if it meantthat any funding beyond the initial budget of $500 would need to be raised by themselves andthey unanimously agreed.Typical projects in the senior

Although student assessment of the class was fairly good (themajor criticism was that this class was too much like a math class), in subsequent classes it wasclear that the material had not ‘sunk in’.One of the first steps was to investigate references on teaching Signals and Systems. Thisincluded attending the 2004 ASEE national conference, reviewing the proceedings of previousASEE conferences and the IEEE Education society journal.
