This basic skill set is further developed in their sophomore yearwhen the students take ECE203 and ECE204, two 10-week courses focusing on topics in DC andAC circuits.

Various forms of OEPs, projects where students have the opportunity to freely choose theproject topics, design, and pivot the project concept, have received feedback through surveys thatsuggest students who participate in OEPs have a greater enjoyment of the course and the studentsfeel like they learn more [6-8]. Structuring OEPs to allow for students to choose the projecttopic, application, providing them with basic materials, and giving students in class time to workon their project can support the students chance of success in their projects [6-8].

Currently, morethan 95% of our students are working professionals who attend CSUN on a part time or full timebasis, taking two or three evening courses per semester. To accommodate the schedules ofemployed students, the courses are taught in the evening hours, Monday through Thursday. Eachcourse is normally offered in a 3-hour once a week for the entire semester, from 7:00 p.m. to10:00 p.m. The classes are enriched by the diverse industry experience and

Since the first-year course was not approved as a required class, but onlyas an elective for all engineering disciplines, students had to choose to enroll in the course.

In contrast to short-term classprojects, real-world innovation often takes years and involves many detours. Likewise, itinvolves long-term personal development in both technical and leadership realms. Engineeringschools might reinforce these ideas through long-term portfolio development, which continues
