This is not to say that the curriculum is a "technology" curriculum.However, many of the tools and techniques used in the curriculum are found in industry. Thiscurriculum is ABET accredited. Figure 1 shows a flow diagram of the engineering courses. Thesolid lines show prerequisites and the dashed lines show co-requisites. Note that the last digit inthe course number indicates the number of credit hours for the course. All courses must be takenby the students with the exception of the electives in the dashed box.

skills in engineering curriculum has provedchallenging; introductory programming courses often face difficulty due to inability to interestboth major and non-major Computer Science (CS) students[7], [8], [9] and simulation topics aregenerally offered later in engineering curriculum, giving students less time to gain meaningfulexperience before entering the workforce[10], [11], [12].Meanwhile, industry itself is moving towards greater automation, integration and customizationof technology and processes. In particular, interoperability of tools and interconnectivity of dataare key trends of ‘Industry 4.0’ [13], [14].

In a sequence of laboratory experiments students practice tofabricate resistors, inductors, and capacitors. In each lab they exercise their own fabricatedcomponent and compare it with the similar available commercial component. Laboratorypractices end with fabrication of resonator circuits and inductive/capacitive sensors by finishingthis state of the art laboratory work, participants not only can learn the fundamentals of CircuitTheory Laboratory but also improve their knowledge of current technologies in their field.KeywordsCircuit Printing, Nano Particles

© 2008, American Society for Engineering Education IntroductionPhotonic Crystals (PCs) are a new and promising technology that could enable high efficiencyemission devices and fast computing devices. Composed of periodic dielectric or metallic-cum-dielectric structures as shown in Fig. 1, PCs are designed to control the propagation ofelectromagnetic waves (EM) in ways similar to how the periodic potential in a semiconductorcrystal controls electron motion by defining allowed and forbidden electronic energy bands. Anelectromagnetic wave passing throughout an array of periodic scatterers will undergo destructiveinterference for certain combinations of wave-vectors at certain frequencies, thus

A group of faculty members and/or students drawn from the colleges of arts,business, education, and engineering have worked together over the past two years, not only to buildbridges, but also to chalk up several positive outcomes. Our model has potential to be self-sustaining so itcan be used to expand/scale up our model to include other groups and colleges in the ensuing years.
