The positive outcome of this experience hasencouraged other faculty members to search for practitioners- as adjuncts- to assist in bringingthe practice into the classroom, in partnership with “full-time” faculty.I. Introduction:If given the opportunity, adjunct faculty who have practiced engineering, could enrich anacademic program by bringing in their practical experience and by introducing relevantapplications and design venues to the classroom. The practical experience of adjunct facultymanifests itself in various ways. In particular, their familiarity with the “nuts & bolts” of thepractice, including: appropriate design and construction methods, customer needs, alternativesolutions, environmental and social impact aspects

It is not expected that a freshman – or even theaverage senior – will score at the “Accomplished” level. Rather, instructors must decidewhat level of performance is reasonable for students in their class, and assign gradesaccordingly: freshmen may be expected to perform somewhere between the “Beginning”and “Developing” level, for example, with seniors expected to perform consistently at the“Competent” level.

At the graduate level, courses on microwave remote sensing, advanced microwavecircuit design and antenna design are offered. Due to the challenging nature of electromagnetictheory, it can be difficult to attract students to this particular area. In the authors’ experience, themost successful
