Integration of Electrical Engineering Core Labs with Major Design Experiences Glen E. Archer Leonard J. Bohmann Michigan Technological UniversityMotivation: Michigan Tech has taken bold steps to structure a design experience thatbegins the moment a student sets foot in the department. Michigan TechnologicalUniversity underwent a remarkable transformation as the conversion from quarters tosemesters unfolded over the 2000-2001 academic year. The Electrical and ComputerEngineering department took advantage of the opportunity to enhance the department’slaboratory experiences as well. The ECE department had followed a traditionalcurriculum model that

computer-programming course for engineers is usually taught using the C++programming language. This work describes our current effort to introduce a pilot project,which can be used in an evaluation process by those departments that would like to substituteMatlab for C++. Those who would like to continue the current practice, but are looking for morechallenging problems/projects involving Matlab can also use the project outcome. The project,at this time, is not calling for elimination of C++, but merely a reversal of our on-going practiceat Penn State; namely, twelve weeks of Matlab and two weeks of C++. A discussion of theadvantages and disadvantages of conducting a computer-programming course in this format areincluded.I. IntroductionComputer

Although today’s students have used PersonalComputers (PCs) longer, by and large, they have never touched (or even seen) the inside of a PC.This is a reflection of the changing role of the PC from a hobby item for the technically inclined,to a household appliance not to be broken.
