, 2018 A Review of Electronic Engineering Logbooks Throughout the Electrical Engineering Curriculum Abstract Successful engineers must be well versed in communication skills, particularly with respect to written documentation in engineering logbooks. Such logs provide technical records that facilitate the day-to-day work of individual engineers, as well as enable continuity when projects are transferred to other engineers. Due to changes in technology and patent law, as well as the promise of simple archiving and sharing of technical work, many practicing engineers have moved away from traditional bound paper engineering notebooks and

quick clarifying questions. ≠ Each unit must be mastered before continuing. This requires students to score perfectly on a test before continuing. Anxiety issues are offset since each test can be taken as many times as necessary. This ensures that each student completes the course with a well- defined, basic competency in programming. ≠ As with all PSI courses, students earn a mastery grade (A) when they complete the units, or must retake the course if they do not. This ensures that students have the necessary programming tools before they enroll in core engineering curriculum courses.The PSI philosophy is implemented in a 1st year course where students are exposed to threedifferent programming languages

This course wasoriginally taught in a traditional, lecture oriented fashion due to the lack of laboratory equipment.This traditional approach of teaching control systems ignores the gap between theory and reality.No matter what illustrated examples used in textbooks or lectures, students are only exposed toequations, matrices, block diagrams, frequency response, and signal flow graphs. Even simplesystems, such as a single-input, single-output DC motor can be abstract when described only onmathematical terms.
