Changes have been observed in the interest in engineering fieldsover time most likely because of societal influences. These influences are especially seenin computer related fields causing speculation that both males and females wereinfluenced by the dot com era but that only male interest was piqued due to the rise ofcomputer games in the late 1990’s.

“design” is emphasized in this course. As a matter of fact the juniorelectronics courses (ELE342 and ELE343) constituting prerequisites for this course alsoemphasize design but at a smaller scale and using discrete BJT and off-the-shelf ICs rather thanat the chip level using CMOS technology. This emphasis on “design” in our electronics sequence Page 14.888.2of courses has been implemented starting with an NSF grant to establish and develop a“Computer-Integrated-Electronics” Laboratory (C.I.E.

I Iowever, due to the dynamic nature of the teaching method, where instructo]-s @ to help poorer students, and students rise to the challenge of the new material being taught, it is nearly impossible to pi-edict the final distribution of marks in a subject.
