The majority of the courses have laboratory/project components usingGoodwin’s state-of-the-art laboratories. As has already been mentioned, the AET programcomprises of Electrical, Mechanical, and Industrial concentrations. First three years are commonfor all concentrations, which allow all AET students gain a fundamental knowledge inengineering technology disciplines, work in teams

.” Today’scollege-bound student’s needs and interests are substantially different than thirty years ago. Tothis end, our faculty has worked over the past few years to find a unique selling proposition. Byworking with current and incoming students in the program, it was determined that the conceptof a career in electronic product and system development (actually participating in the design anddevelopment of the devices they use every day) resonated better with new students. While this isnot a new concept especially in mechanical and manufacturing programs2,3, a literature searchindicates that this idea is unique among electronics programs. In addition, based on efforts atother institutions, a focus in product development lends itself well to teaching

[5].Most teaching methods in a traditional Electrical Engineering curriculum have not changed sincethe 1970s - with a preference for theoretical knowledge rather than practical application [6]. Thegatekeeper of knowledge paradigm is upheld, in which the faculty has the knowledge and thestudents are the empty receptacles into which they can pour their information and expertise [5].Courses revolve around lectures and lengthy problem sets. The faculty tells the information tothe students during lecture, often emphasizing the “correct” equations - flying through a copiousnumber of PowerPoint slides with no time for the students to absorb the material, much lessformulate and ask questions.
