. Based upon the survey referred to before, here is a list of some the effective strategies and tactics being deployed. a. Change the name(s) of the department or programs. Include the term “computer” as many departments have already done. Use focused or specialized names that explain the jobs and program (e.g. wireless, automation and robotics, etc.) This does help attract more students. b. Add more computer-related or computer-assisted courses. Students and graduates can never be too computer/software literate. Include computer simulation with Multisim/Electronic Workbench or similar software. Expand the embedded

A recent look at ABETaccredited electrical/electronics engineering technology programs [1] showed that only 6 of the 66programs accessed offered DSP as a required course in the curriculum. Another nine programsoffered DSP as a technical elective and the remaining 51 did not offer DSP to their students at all.As DSP becomes more pervasive in industrial applications, it is imperative that engineeringtechnology graduates have some exposure to digital signal processing theory and practice. Themain difficulty in teaching DSP to technology students is the level of mathematics. Studentsopening a textbook on digital signal processing [2] – [4] are faced with pages and

The goal of the "active learning"curriculum is to create an effective learning environment where students enjoy “hands-on”experiences through laboratory experiments and computer simulations and illustrations. Thegeneral objectives of this study are: (a) to develop a framework on active learning approach, (b) toapply this framework to design teaching modules on fundamentals and applications of ACM; and(c) to translate

These areas were selected not onlybecause they covered a broad range of subjects identified by the workshop participants, but alsobecause they are useful to show the interplay between mathematics and various branches of science. These subjects were covered in the two summer sessions.Through our own research, we also found that some of our course topics can be integrated withcommercially available education material -- the TIMS Laboratory Investigations.9 This materialwas developed at the University of Illinois at Chicago with the support of NSF.

The objectives of the Crist case study were to teach thestudents:(a) the technical and project management details involved in planning and implementing a real-world project,(b) the importance of developing and prioritizing project criteria in analyzing alternatives, and(c) how to embed an expert system in the decision-making process.
