However, the timing of these concepts is ill-alignedwith the project flow and as a result, also provided by the project lecturer in advance of thephysics and math courses. Furthermore, many key

engineering curriculum, the devices are used in the experimentsand projects of many courses, such as digital systems, microcontroller, embedded systems,computer organization, etc. There are wide varieties of input devices. It is difficult to maintain acomplete inventory for the lab. In addition, because these input devices are customized for asmall and specialized market, they are relatively expensive. For example, a GPS module or atouch sensor module costs more than many processor boards. An Android device (a phone or a tablet) is a miniature computer with a touch screen and anarray of sensors. There is an opportunity to use its sensors as the I/O peripherals. A low-endentry-level device is just “commodity” and cheaper than special I/O modules

It presents the findings of a faculty/institution survey conducted through Electrical Engineering and ETD listservs representing the major engineering and technology disciplines during fall 2012. The intent of the survey was to the gauge the status of use of standards and regulations in engineering and technology coursework and to identify benchmark practices.

This approachis the model-based design counterpart to the “Design Spine” discussed by Sheppard et al.6 whorethought the curriculum at Stevens Institute of Technology to emphasize design throughout allfour years.
