students have been involved in researchprojects ranging from EM field coupling onto vehicle wiring to cross-talk on printed circuitboards. A number of student and regular papers have been presented at the IEEE AP-S/URSI andEMC Symposia as well as at the meetings of the SCV EMC Society. The first place in the 1999IEEE Region 6 Student Paper competition and second place in the 2000 WESCON StudentPaper competition are a testament of the program quality. The SFSU students are very highlyregarded by the local companies due to their EMC training and proficiency. Also, the SCV EMCSociety has established a scholarship endowment to support outstanding SFSU students in theEM/EMC area.The next section gives a brief overview of the implementation of the EMC

-bordercollaboration has been made possible due to the availability of a larger pool of researchers, thispresents challenges to U.S. competitiveness in high technology areas and to its position as aworld leader in critical S&E fields. Within the US the proportion of Natural Sciences andEngineering (NS&E) degrees as a share of total degrees conferred in US has declined byapproximately eight percent from 2002 to 2007 [1]. There is evidence to suggest that some of thisdecline can be attributed to the student attrition during their first one or two years from thescience and engineering programs.Previous studies have indicated that significant student attrition or “switching” from science andengineering educational programs to other fields occurs during
USB connection, which is rated at maximum of 5 volts at500 mA. The calculated maximum current draw over the USB connection is about 114.71mA, sothat the microcontroller and all attached components are well within the limits of the USBconnection. This project is utilizing three of the digital outputs and two of the analog inputs.Each of the 14 digital pins can sink or source a maximum of 40mA. Each of the digital pins willsource about 11.5mA to the connected devices. This is well within the limits of the ATmega 328with plenty of room to spare. The analog inputs provide ten bits of resolution through theATmega328’s analog to digital converter. This allows the five volt reference to be divided into1024 steps. Figure 2 shows the Ardunio board

and graduate programs inengineering, sciences, mathematics, computational science and engineering, and technology byoffering an attractive alternative graduate program for the graduates of those programs in thisexciting and evolving field of the future. As new industries and technologies evolve so are theneeds for new educational programs. Historically, new educational programs have evolved tomeet the related needs and opportunities; for example, computer engineering in 1970’s, computerscience in 1980, bioengineering in 1990s, computational science and engineering in 2000s andthe nanoengineering programs of the 21st century. The committee does not believe the proposedprogram will stretch existing resources. Rather we feel it will further

As thecurricula were developed, consideration was given to keeping required undergraduate coursesthroughout the last year of the program. The senior design project usually provides thisconstraint in that it may not be possible to offer that course(s) out of sequence.
