engineering education has seen the creation of numerous useful software andprograms to help students in learning, understanding and applying the knowledge gained.The Internet or the World Wide Web is a good source for vast amount of information forresearch and education. Over the last few years the Internet has seen an explosive growth,both in the amount of users and new technologies being developed to harness the powerof the Internet for various applications. With the increase in bandwidth and emerging 3Dtechnologies for the Internet, high end graphics games are being played by groups ofplayers at different locations via the Internet.

In 1994, Shenhar [16] proposed a systems engineering education curriculum consisting of:basic studies (math, computer science, etc.), cross-disciplinary studies (hardware, software, etc.),engineering systems and technologies (introduction to a wide set of diverse systems),management studies (operations, project management, production, etc.) and system engineeringconcepts (architecture, holistic and system thinking, case studies, etc.). Similarly, Walther andRadcliff [17], in their study on competency gaps between academia and industry, surmised thatuniversity curricula should teach a more holistic view of engineering which will lead to “acentral competence which could be

Now, just inthe past few years, deep learning and artificial intelligence (AI) has come to the place where it isno longer a wishful dream but a definitively powerful tool for addressing intricate scientific andengineering challenges. Thus, understanding and utilizing deep learning in undergraduateengineering education has become increasingly relevant, though still not widely practiced. Sinceit has become a core technology of today’s Fourth Industrial Revolution (4IR or Industry 4.0)[21] it seems inconceivable that knowledge of fundamental deep learning tools should only bethe realm of data science specialists or graduate students [32

The Lecture/Laboratory DisconnectIn curricula that teach EE concepts, hands-on laboratories that accompany circuit theory, signals& systems, and digital design courses are often scheduled separately, partly because textbooksoften adopt a written-work and software paradigm. Additionally, organizing students and topicsin laboratory-only environments is more efficient than interspersing hands-on assignments withlectures, so unless lecture and laboratory courses are paired, laboratories can be separated in timefrom their corresponding lecture material, making it difficult for
