Typically, each week of an engineering courseintroduces at least one new concept with its accompanying vocabulary, constants, symbols,model, and resulting equations. As an engineering instructor, it is easy to begin believing thatthere just isn’t enough time to cover all the required material. It is tempting to cut corners.Technology is bounding ahead and there is important ‘new stuff’ that engineers need to know.By racing through the traditional fundamental topics (the modeling and the math

component of engineering education,methods of providing undergraduate students with a significant design experience varywidely among disciplines and faculty. Dunn-Rankin, et. al.[1] state the "design training,though somewhat ill-defined, is crucial to enable graduating engineers to contribute intoday’s competitive manufacturing environment." A key aspect of this dilemma is thatdesign practices vary by discipline and project criteria. In surveying 47 companies ontheir priorities in manufacturing engineering education, Mason [2] notes that "theimportance of hands-on experience emphasized by the survey is a break from atraditional engineering curriculum."At the same time, it is recognized that workplace experience is a key factor in enabling

We propose: • Not being able to add additional courses requires the existing courses to be co-designed. The courses include those offered by the humanities, social sciences, and business. That also eliminates the need for a “champion” since the material will be truly rooted and isn’t an add-on. This allows for a lasting impact. • We must invert the “funnel

In response to the need for resources that provide practical experience to onlineengineering students, this study has been designed to investigate the effects of simulation forconducting laboratory experiments on the topic of communication systems (shown in Figure1). By demonstrating that simulation-based laboratory methods can provide comparableoutcomes to traditional physical laboratory methods, the cost of providing engineeringlaboratories can be dramatically reduced. By reducing the costs, specialized materials andequipment needs and facility requirements, engineering laboratory training would be
