Remember that recommended changes imply that the status quo designed and fostered by current faculty is inadequate. Recommendations for changes must always be approached very diplomatically.J. Pay one’s dues with respect and deference for senior faculty. Accept that, as the new person, one may have to bite one’s tongue, swallow one’s pride, and perhaps take on less-than-preferred courses and responsibilities, just as most of the senior faculty had to do when they were a NEE. Be willing to accept and faithfully perform grunt work, particularly teaching time-intensive laboratory courses, freshman-level courses

A student may take adigital electronics course with a complementary laboratory component. The lab experiencesgained may be very suitable for demonstrating the analysis and design of combinational andsequential logic circuits, but they do not teach the students how to interface digital circuits withanalog circuits or computer software.Another way in which we fail to prepare students to meet the challenge of their capstone designproject is by not providing enough
