In order toinvolve the student in real world EMC/EMI applications, some projects are included in thecurriculum. These projects are samples of the industry applications where the knowledge of thesubject can be applied. The projects include further technical content that lies outside the subjectboundaries but that is useful to improve students’ motivation. A practical printed circuit board(PCB) layout project has been designed for the purpose of EMC education at the undergraduatelevel. Because the scope of EMC design is rather wide, the project focuses only on controllingradiated emissions from

Students and/orresearch projects are effective ways of exposing students to the state-of-the-art in unmannedvehicles technologies. Moreover, multidisciplinary projects provide students opportunities tolearn real-world problems in a team environment. The projects include many aspects ofunmanned vehicles technologies such as Sense & Avoid, Computer Vision, Path Planning,Autonomous Routing and Dynamic Rerouting, Geolocation Techniques, et cetera, and involvemore than 90 students from Aerospace, Electrical & Computer, Mechanical, and IndustrialEngineering, and Computer Science Departments.

Also, because of the continuing trend towards the use of technology for solvingalmost all engineering problems in industry (and the fact that businesses are beginning todemand web-savvy employees), we believe it makes sense to have students learn problemsolving skills in the mode that they will be using those skills, i.e. on a networked computer.

As another example, Corum and Garofalo [34] focused on usingmathematical modeling to support middle school students’ understanding of engineeringtechnology applications. The engineering technologies included speakers, motors, andgenerators. Corum and Garofalo [34] designed the engineering task using the model-elicitingactivity framework [34], which is a pedagogical approach for teaching mathematics-basedconcepts that requires one to represent real-world situations mathematically. The engineering-based mathematics task allowed the students to draw on their knowledge of pre-algebra, algebra,and magnetism to develop a multivariable mathematical model

Then to initiate dialog among the students they are asked to talkabout their favorite and least favorite classes, where they want to be in 10 years, and their “bestadventure.” The best adventure question tends to really open up the students to talk aboutthemselves.
