More time for assignments – Before the Spring semester, students sometimes had only a few days to complete and submit some of the assignments. In the Spring semester, every assignment was released right after its related material is covered and students were given at least one week to complete it. 5. Replacing lab reports – Lab reports were due about a week after every lab session and they required the use of Latex to compile them. These reports were eliminated and they were replaced by a set of short questions that the TA asks the students at the end of each lab. 6. Adding a Verilog workshop – Verilog was the

Real life connections to the material beingcovered may be critical to motivating a millennial leaner to eat it up. Instant access of digitalinformation and lack of real life connections may also be one reason why Gen Y seems to bespending less time reading their textbooks.Millennials are used to being the focus of attention and do very well in student-centeredclassrooms; and, they want to actually experience the content of a course rather than just readand/or be told about it.

Signals and Systems curriculumA Signals and Systems course has traditionally consisted of a study of the mathematical tools andrelationships necessary to relate the time and the transform domains. Stored real-world signals,computer-generated signals, and mathematical models of real signals and systems are available forcomputer-based homework and exercises. The use of PCs in the EE curriculum has clearlyincreased student interest in the Signals and Systems course material, in part because PCs havehelped to move us beyond pure theory and into the real world. For example, homework or PC-based exercises can now use web delivered EKG data, music corrupted by noise, or sonar signals
