Session 3286 Add Sizzle to Your Electronics Curriculum Charles Moore Arkansas State Technical InstituteI. IntroductionThis paper, of particular interest to the new educator in a two-year electronics program, presentsinnovative classroom and laboratory techniques which have proven to enhance student learningand interest. Technology students, often kinesthetic learners, may not learn easily from lecturesbut respond well to alternative methods and will listen if their interest is piqued by an element offun or sizzle.II.

Session 2253 Introducing Design Throughout the Curriculum Gunter W. Georgi, Lorcan M. Folan, and David R. Doucette Department of Introductory Design and Science Polytechnic University, Brooklyn, NY 11201AbstractPolytechnic University has embarked on a major effort to introduce Engineering design across itsentire curricula. This effort is across all majors and affects essentially every course. There areseveral features at its core:1.

Wickedproblems are extraordinarily difficult to solve due to their incomplete, contradictory, and at timeschanging requirements. They often include multiple stakeholders with competing interests andworldviews. As a result, they are risky by
components into an overcrowded engineering curriculum and who has to teach these courses. While the Staff development and pedagogical changes have certain extent addressed this concern, the debate of including them as additional courses continues to dominate. These collaborations mostly are between two nations and typically the student needs to work on teams from more than one nation. Also sometimes the enrolments are limited for security and funding options available in those countries. The collaborations in an Institute are often limited by the non uniform Credit Transfer System among the different countries. The Programs also often have a highly structured curriculum which is rigid to accommodate rapid

learning for students.ConclusionsA newly implemented manufacturing processes course has been described. The need for thecourse in light of program history and the engineering discipline were discussed. Therelationship of the course to program outcomes and prerequisite coursework were included. Thedesign and implementation of the course were detailed, including industry tours. Student surveyresults were seen to be generally favorable and future modifications and updates to the courselecture and laboratory elements were outlined. The engineering program curriculum has beenstrengthened and broadened by the development and implementation of this course andlaboratory, as students have been exposed to the important and very broad field of

Prior each laboratory session, the participating students willbe required to pass multiple quizzes specifically designed to test their knowledge in the subjectmatters being exercised in the laboratory activities.Due to current presence of blended learning in the academia and on-going research on itseffectiveness, any input from academic units participating in on-line courses development andimplementation will increase the knowledge database. The introduction of the on-line version ofthe EM course in the curriculum will allow us to assess the effectiveness of blended learning
