Each section has oneCommunications faculty member for the semester, and for these faculty, each section is viewedas a 3-hour course for workload purposes. In the laboratory portion of the course, three sectionsmeet simultaneously. Consequently, for the engineering faculty, there are two lab sessions eachweek, each consisting of 60-65 students, and five instructors. For workload purposes this is Page 11.359.2viewed as a 3-hour course for each member of the engineering faculty.In the laboratory component of the course, students work on open-ended design projects

However, their experience with the required mathand basic science courses prompted them to leave the engineering program within one or twoterms.For the purpose of some important discussions we will also focus on a third class. This class(EE3) is an introduction to electromagnetism for non-electrical engineers. The students of thisclass are mostly engineering students in their third and fourth years of different engineeringfields, all but electrical engineering. We also have students from different science/technologybackgrounds such as meteorology, agronomy, bio-systems, industrial technology, and

The operation andcurriculum design for the Unit Ops Laboratory can often be a challenge. Chemical processequipment is accompanied by complex operational procedures. Students need to be continuouslysupervised by TAs and/or technicians. Unit operations classes are often large, and students domultiple labs/experiments at the same time, which makes the logistics of running the labsparticularly challenging, especially from the standpoint of safety.This study aims to address the limitations of UOL teaching practices by using the most recentadvances in Augmented Reality (AR)/Virtual

floating-point implementations. Unfortunately, basing a DSP laboratory solely onfloating-point implementations sends the wrong message to the student since communication systemcomponents designed for the mass market (e.g., cell phones) must be placed on the market at the lowestpossible cost. Low cost dictates fixed-point implementations. Several of the affiliate companies workingclosely with MPRG have provided input on this issue, and the corporate world seems to desire students whohave experience with the more practical fixed-point implementation. As a result, there can be no doubt that we desire to develop the laboratory for Course 2 around fixed-point implementation of wireless system components. Because of the difficulties involved

In order to enhance the capstone design experience of the students, it isnecessary to analyze the projects carried out over a sufficiently long time. Projects can beanalyzed based on several criteria. Examples could be its source of sponsorship, technologybeing used in the project, and its field of application. Also, such an analysis needs to look at thepreparatory ingredients of the curriculum in the lower level that led to the capstone designproject. A mini project
