Summary, conclusions, and future workThis paper introduced a new organizational and pedagogical model that is changing the waystudents learn electrical and computer engineering. Included was the process the department usedto implement the first phase of the project in the technical core of the curriculum, with provenstrategies that enabled collaboration among faculty and staff to transform their approach toteaching and learning.

The experiment has beenused also to provide the seniors in control systems with an example of the obtaining of processdynamics by test.The laboratory equipment is arranged as indicated in Appendix C. Under program control thepump speed is adjusted to obtain a specified flow rate and the level is measured. Then theprogram causes the control valve to be moved and the level response is measured as a function oftime.Lower-level students are given the expected form of the response and upper-level students areasked to derive the equation. The goal is to determine the parameter W in the first-order levelresponse

These graduates understand the importance of newtechnological developments. They understand how society can be reshaped by technologicaladvances and can assess the impact and consequences of new technological systems, and theyare prepared to talk to one another.IV.

Affordable, portable, andfunctionally capable educational equipment is now widely available, enabling students to set uphome labs and gain practical experience. Devices like drones, for example, are not onlybudget-friendly but also offer performance comparable to what students might encounter incentralized labs or field settings.

absence of a College ofEducation, and given an institutional culture prioritizing scholarly research, institutions such asGeorgia Tech often do not have a long history of systemic faculty involvement in the K-12educational community. However the current national focus, initiated by public fundingagencies such as the National Science Foundation, encourages academic scientists and engineersto shoulder some of the responsibilities for the quality of science, technology, engineering andmathematics (STEM) education at the K-12 level, and to do this by developing university-K-12“partnerships.” Unfortunately, given the vast cultural differences that exist between universitiesand K-12 schools, these partnerships too often flounder, never managing to
