and one design competition at the endof the semester. Emphasis was placed on creating a very interactive and hands-on class, whichoffers many bonding opportunities for new engineering students.The newly designed course had a more topical flow including the following areas designed togive students exposure to important topics for engineers that are rarely found in a purelytechnical course: • What is Engineering? • The Engineering Design Process • Learning to Present Technical Ideas • Writing Professional Emails • Successful Teamwork and Project Management • Engineering Ethics • Importance of Internships and CoopsRoughly one week of the course was dedicated to each of these topics.

IntroductionIntroduction to Electrical and Computer Engineering courses are common in many institutesacross the country for freshman or sophomore students1,2. The goal of such courses is to providegeneral introduction to the field of ECE and talk about the main areas of applications, problemsolving, professional career opportunities, technology, ethics, and other related topics.Instead of providing just theoretical presentation about the field, this proposed course offers amore practical approach for effective ways of achieving the same objective, with the additionalbenefit of enhancing student engagement and their learning experience in the process. To thisend, the main strength of

Students are able to successfully complete a design project that uses DSP to meet realistic constraints.The following analysis shows that most projects in the past five years that should have used DSPto meet realistic constraints were either avoided, did not meet the constraints, or were notsuccessfully completed. Data was compiled from the senior projects for the last five years(2011-2015).Out of a total of 84 projects, 18 (21%) should have used DSP to meet realistic constraints. As anaside to the main focus of this work, this small percentage may indicate that students

. From thequantitative and qualitative analysis performed, the results are analysed and presented from a students’perspective about project/design based learning practice in a particular unit. The survey was given tomore than 100 students across multiple courses in the first year of engineering. It was anonymous andnon-identifiable. These results are from students’ own experiences and the results present various views,which include students’ knowledge and expectations. In turn this can inform the collaborative programto enhance the international student-learning experience. In line with ethics process and procedures, athird party conducted the research survey. The questions were prepared to identify the challenges inteaching and learning and in

technically savvy, but also possess strong leadership, creativity, and communication traits [1].These skills, along with high ethical standards, dynamism, agility, resilience, and flexibility,have been defined by the National Academy of Engineering as key professional skills successfulengineers need. In response to this requirement, engineering programs have incorporated teachingprofessional skills through courses, workshops, and incorporating real-world experiences in theclassroom through service learning [3]. The challenge of teaching of professional skills has beenacknowledged by engineering educators, particularly for assessment methods [4]. Examples ofproposed assessment methods include tests and examinations, measures of attitudes

These degrees have slightly different learning goals. In order to award allthree degrees, the university needs to assess and assure that the learning goals are achieved.How can this be monitored, and is it even possible? Some previous publications [3, 4] suggestthat it is possible but requires a lot of effort in adapting program goals to course goals andensuring a high standard in the curriculum

This paper describes a new design project implemented in Fall 2015 as analternative to a project implemented in Fall 2005.Course History Since 2004In Fall 2004, students worked in teams on a semester-long design project, in which they designeda crane to lift the heaviest weight with the least amount of building material in the crane4. Whilethe project had many successes, faculty observed that students did not quantitatively analyzedesign alternatives and chose a final design with only qualitative justification5. As a result, inFall 2005, the sequence of design projects given to students was modified to include a simpler,four-week startup project that involved building and
year may provide a foundation that will solidify and integrate student’s education [8].III. Redesigning ‘Foundations of Engineering’ Course As evident from the literature review teaching should combine theoretical knowledge with practical skills, while understanding its social, cultural, and ethical implications on learning. This philosophy involves going beyond classroom-type, lecture- based education, and emphasize practical skills in real world projects. In general, first year engineering students are fascinated by how industrial products are made and are curios regarding novel methods for making products. Exposure to advanced manufacturing technologies and the need for integration of technologies from several
exist outside of classroom but that maynot be leveraged by already time-constrained engineering students. By embedding elements ofcareer development and professionalism into the engineering curriculum, students are exposedfrom freshmen year on to the key professional skills that employers seek from graduates asmodelled by the industry professionals themselves, including: critical thinking/problem solving;oral/written communication; teamwork/collaboration; information/technology application;leadership; professionalism/work ethic; career management [8]. With more than 70% of openpositions being secured through networking [9], it is important to introduce students to this skillas early as possible in their college career, and to ensure that
