intoexisting courses is that many faculty do not have the time or background to research and preparecase studies. Although there are many references available they are difficult to translate intoclassroom lectures without considerable added effort on the part of the instructor. The work sofar has addressed this need through the development of innovative course materials to support amaster plan linking courses, learning objectives, and case studies. The main task remaining is toimplement to use of case studies across the civil engineering and engineering mechanicscurriculum, and to assess the impact. In this proposed research effort, the case study materials will be disseminated throughthree workshops for engineering faculty. The case studies

This narrow perspective limits their understanding ofthe contributions engineers make to solving society’s complex problems (English, Hudson,Dawes, 2011; Bowen, Prior, Lloyd, Thomas, & Newman-Ford, 2007; Knight & Cunningham,2004). Often students believe that engineers only deal with the world of mathematics andscience and are not concerned with topics commonly taught in the social sciences andhumanities.

In 2004, National University initiated a uniqueMaster of Science in Wireless Communications (MSWC) program, in order to better preparewireless communications professionals. To date, many cohorts of students have graduated fromthe MSWC program and are now actively contributing to the field. In order to meet the degreerequirements, students of MSWC are required to complete a relevant research project that is thedeliverable product of the Capstone course.
