The upper-level laboratory activity was adaptedfrom published results in the areas of physics and chemistry education research. It was ourexperience that students were interested and engaged throughout the fabrication andcharacterization processes. This activity seems appropriate for a variety of upper-level courses.It is interdisciplinary in nature; requiring some content knowledge of physics, chemistry, andelectrical engineering. As a

and setting up a new undergraduate research lab.BACKGROUNDState University of New York at Oswego is developing a new undergraduate program inelectrical and computer engineering (ECE) to better serve its communities and to meet theworkforce needs of the area. The development of a new program presents an opportunity tocreate a modern and innovative curriculum that challenges several aspects of traditionalengineering education and responds to the needs of the knowledge-based society we live in. Anew faculty member was hired (Fall 2008), temporarily based in the Physics department.Although more money will be available for equipment and laboratory at the actual start of theECE program (a few years later), there was little startup money ($12,000

.4.5.1 CreativityCreativity is probably the most sought attribute for engineering competitions such as ScienceOlympiad or the ASEE Novel Endoscope competition. Both provide environments for studentsto encounter problems that must be solved in an innovative manner. Many of the bestengineering competitions do not simply encourage, but demand creativity of successfulcompetitors.One important aspect of creativity highlighted by competitions is the ability to take a step backand look at things from a different angle. This may actually involve looking at a material from adifferent physical and figurative angle. For example, in a mechanical engineering course anissue with testing a theory arose where the only solution identified so far was to
