Several advanced topics, such as spread spectrum communications and channel coding, are introduced to provide students with some breadth of knowledge.The first two courses (ELEC 304 and 305) are taken by approximately half of the junior class ofelectrical engineering students and by many computer engineering majors. ELEC 462 and 464are taken by approximately one fourth of the senior class of electrical engineering students.The motivation for the creation of the signals and systems laboratory with a commonexperimental platform that could be used in a sequence of related courses is twofold

This simulates real world engineering practiceand develops interest in pursuing engineering education.

Finally, because these traditional assessments are often based on an institutionalstandard, they do not address the students learning experience in the light of the course’seducational objective. It is important, for example, in courses emphasizing teamwork, that theassessments address the students experience in course related team activities in order to provideuseful information for improving these team activities.The shortcomings of using standardized end of term assessments can be overcome by using aseries of multiple short assessments during a course, in which the assessments are designedspecifically for the course.

To create a more effective, engaged, and efficientcurriculum, the ECEN department is implementing program change from a primarily knowledge-based paradigm (acquiring a set of concepts) to being development-based (emphasizing students’development). In a development-based program faculty redefine their roles from lecturers tomentors and scholars, guiding academic development towards complex problem solving tied toreal world problems.

Tier 2 includes all sciences and engineering majors not listed in Tier 1. Tier 3 is all the humanities, and most importantly for ERAU specifically, Homeland Security. ERAU ROTC has a large number of Cadets enrolled in the Homeland Security program and many of those Cadets are high performers focused on a long career in the military.

Second, the approachwill need to fit into the complex schedules and contexts of educators since simply spending timelearning about teaching may not be possible. For example, given that engineering educators (andfuture educators in the form of graduate students) are busy, approaches may need to help themsolve actual problems they are encountering or be aligned with other requirements that theeducators must meet (e.g., preparing materials for annual merit review or tenure review, getting ajob). Such a framing suggests two questions that can be asked for any approach to helpeducators become better educators: a) to what extent does the approach lead to learning ofknowledge and skills related to teaching and b) what
