Many engineering students seldom take a biology course while in college simplybecause it is not a requirement. Nevertheless, having knowledge of biology is important and canopen new doors for a person’s career. Mechanical, electrical, and chemical engineers can allbenefit from taking a course that teaches them about protein structure and gene annotation. Theymay even discover a new interest or career path.The gene annotation project requires that the student identify the coordinates of all the exons intheir assigned genes. By doing so, the students learn a great deal about genetics and becomefamiliar with genomics vocabulary. They also learn how to use

program because in this framework students are led to view the coursecontents as unconnected pieces. Thus, students lack the understanding of how theseunconnected course materials build on each other to form the core knowledge expected of acompetent electrical engineer. This lack of understanding manifests itself in low studentmotivation, interest, and knowledge regarding the discipline. Furthermore, it results in studentsperceiving a lack of value and career opportunities relative to the amount of effort required togo through the program [1]-[4]. As a result, attrition rates in engineering departments havebeen higher than expected. For example, the number of American students earning bachelor’sdegrees increased by 16% over the past 10 years

An alternative to this traditional pedagogy is to recognize that studentshave an acute need not only to understand the concept of “working smarter in the right areas” butto be able to implement this concept.

educational experience not only encourages, butprovides failure as a goal? In school, does one study to pass the test or to fail it? Does the karatemaster go through months of repetitive, pain staking training so that her pupil will fail to attainthe next belt? Failure is a mechanism that signals when a goal has not been achieved; it exposesa limitation and possibly even a weakness in the object attempting to attain the goal. One’slimitations are what continuing education must expose and expand. If one passes a test, there isno measure as to how far one could go. There is only a measure as to how far one has alreadygone. In order to expand to the fullest extent possible, one must know exactly how far they cango.Why failure and not success? The only

His conclusion was that the armature-controlled dc motor performed betterthan the field-controlled dc motor, and he was able to demonstrate strong closed-loop systemperformance. Since there were no plans to establish a full controls lab for the entire classes,simulations using Matlab were required for the course. Initially, the project was restricted to thisone controls application and soon thereafter expanded to five or six possible applicationsdescribed in brief paragraphs.
