This paper will present the details of the product development course including theprocess used to develop the course, the process used to create a custom textbook, and an in-depthlook at the course topics. The course involves a hands-on laboratory experience, and this will bepresented as well. Finally, results from the course assessment and students comments will bediscussed.The Electronic Systems Engineering Technology (eSET) Program As indicated above, the program has recently changed the curriculum to add an emphasisin the area of

Additionally, the contact provided information on what life islike on Lake Titicaca- first-hand experience that is hard to find elsewhere. The most difficult partof communicating with the contact was poor reception which led to ineffective understanding onsome occasions. Nevertheless, the communication has been effective enough to provide feedbackon the designs each year and to facilitate a relationship between students and the contact thathave bridged across successive classes.As part of documenting community engagement, students were required to develop an interviewguide that involved a continual update of questions

In this strategy, the practical experience complements the traditional educational approach. Laboratories are synchronized with lectures. Field trips are scheduled where knowledge is applied. The student is exposed to multi- sensorial experiences that reinforce and internalize knowledge. 4. Balance between knowledge depth and breadth. Within the new educational model the student learns the foundations related to their field of concentration and is reinforced with exercises based on real problems. In addition to this the student is exposed to general knowledge that

The revisedcurriculum was designed to support the student attainment of the ABET Student Outcomes (SOs)and was informed by benchmarking the engineering science program against general engineeringprograms at similar institutions. In particular, the former engineering science curriculum offeredfew laboratory classes, little depth in a student’s selected engineering specialization, and onlyone significant team-based engineering experience. The current engineering curriculumaddresses these deficiencies; the two engineering programs are compared in Table 1. Studentteams participate in projects that are threaded throughout the curriculum, hands-on work hasbeen integrated into many classes, and the

These platforms offer quick feedback, code-review, andgrading. These platforms have been shown to improve student’s learning experience [5].Although the online labs cannot afford physical engagement with hardware due to logisticchallenges, they offer some detailed understanding of emulating hardware. Therefore, with slightmodification to the course syllabus, online classrooms can provide several learning opportunitiesfor kinesthetic learners. The activities may be designed to realize the same course objectives,while developing a slightly different skill set among students. KLAs are expected to
