The aim of this article is to discuss the main challengesand to share teaching methods that the author has used to encourage active learning andengagement among major and non-major students in an Electrical Engineering Technologyprogram. The author addresses the use of technology for teaching, the use of lecture timeeffectively, the importance of well-designed laboratory experiments, and use of simulation tools.Assessment tools have indicated that the teaching methods used have been successful in meetingthe teaching goals.Keywords: engineering education

The goal ofthis new course, which meets two laboratory hours per week, is to expose students to several ofthe important ideas and concepts in microsystems and nanotechnology, and to give them hands-on projects that will help them learn these multidisciplinary ideas. Further, the “ulterior motive”of this course is to inspire students to stay in engineering, and to give them a flavor of

It is thereforenecessary to continue development of effective and efficient pedagogical methods andtechniques for the engineering laboratory experience [2].Laboratory apparatus is generally expensive due to low production levels, specialized featuresand significantly higher Design Costs built into the final cost.
