These classes include quantum mechanics, theoreticalmechanics and electromagnetics. While the intent was to change courses for physics majors,most of the students in the electromagnetics course are electrical engineering majors at ourinstitution. Therefore, we tried to find computational and experimental problems for that coursewhich would interest the

The intent was not merely to allow students to receive twograduate degrees in a compressed time frame, but to tightly integrate the two degrees sothat multidisciplinary student teams would be able to develop an industrial product all theway from concept to market. The students obtained a Master of Business Administration[MBA] degree and a Master of Science [MS] degree in an engineering discipline in 23months. The students worked in teams and were expected to have developed a concept, abusiness plan, a marketing plan and a prototype for a marketable product by completionof the program.Development of two new graduate courses: ≠ Product
