As the semester proceeds,students tackle an array of interrelated problems that motivate the study of sensor signal process-ing, control, scheduling, and resource sharing. In a final project, the students tackle a distributedintelligence project in which an odometry-equipped robot communicates with a PC-based pro-gram that tracks the robot’s position. To encourage adoption by other electrical engineering andcomputer engineering programs, a detailed description of the required resources and their cost isincluded.IntroductionThere is no doubt that developments in microelectronics and computing technology in the last halfof this century have changed

classical engineering curriculum with a one or two semester course inquantum computing [7].Several universities have offered courses in quantum computing at the graduate andundergraduate levels. Due to the growing demand for ‘quantum-aware’ specialists, there is aneed for introductory-level QIST courses. In this paper, we describe a pair of introductorycourses in quantum computing for undergraduate students studying electrical engineering,physics, and computer science. By requiring a modest set of prerequisites, the courses will beaccessible to a broader range of STEM students. Our approach features an interdisciplinarylearning environment, which prepares students for modern work environments where engineersand scientists routinely work with other

Other options for providing students with experiential learning include visitsto businesses in the industry, classroom presentations and discussions by practitioners andshadow days at workplaces.Service learning experiences can be useful as well and of varying durations. For example,Hayden et al10 (2010) describe how students at the University of Vermont were involved in localservice learning projects which involved “adopting” a local town where they are involved in real-life engineering

orientation)” such that students’ valuations of their skills affect theirmotivations for learning and influence students to select tasks which align with their perceivedskillsets [11, 12]. Given known gendered differences in self-efficacy for technical competencies,this self-selection often leads to non-gender-neutral task allocation. For example, Fowler et al.reported instances of gendered performance avoidance, with male students avoidingcommunication tasks (e.g., writing) and female students avoiding technical tasks (e.g., coding)within an introductory engineering design course due to differences in self-view of competencies[11]. Evaluation of writing abilities in project deliverables is particularly impactful to studentexperiences and learning

To address gaps in hands-on skillsidentified in Student Outcome 6, Arduino-based labs, previously limited to capstone courses,were incorporated earlier into the curriculum, including lower-division courses. On-demandworkshops were also introduced to further enhance students' practical engineering skills.

Thissection of the paper will discuss the curriculum implications of this survey. Obviously, this isnot the sole input to any curriculum revisions, but merely one of many inputs in determiningwhat should be taught within the Electrical Engineering Technology curriculum.The overwhelming conclusion from this survey, is that the curriculum needs to emphasizeprocess skills rather than technical learning. These skills include problem solving, teamwork,and communications (both oral and written). One way to do this is
