As a result,teaching the finite element method to a greater number of undergraduate students has become apriority for many engineering departments.

difference between ECTS credits and typical U.S. university credits is that anECTS credit includes not only lecture and laboratory times but also individual out-of-class workand exam times. According to the current ECTS system a 15 weeks semester of higher educationcorresponds to approximately 30 credits.As a beginning comparison between U.S. and European systems (2), “Regarding undergraduatedegrees, there is a clear trend across Europe toward assigning between 180 and 240 ECTScredits, equaling 3 to 4 years of full-time study, while graduate degrees at Master level normallycarry 60-120 ECTS credits”.This paper will discuss some of the variations in both courses and degrees, including the three-year bachelor degree.

One major problem with innovative teachingmethodologies is that there is a lack of fit between the innovative instruction and theevaluative measures (i.e., tests and examinations). In order for multimedia teaching techniquesto be effective, there needs to be focus placed on student applications of theoretical conceptsto solve problems.Because of the unique nature of multimedia, problems exist with the delivery of instruction.Jonassen4 described three major problems that occur in multimedia: navigation (users get lostin the document), difficulty in integrating the presented information into personal knowledgestructures, and cognitive overload.

While specific reasons for manufacturing related skills deficiencies havenot been identified, it is likely that the reduction in hands-on laboratory experiences that waseffected at the same time that design content in the curricula was being reduced is one of theprimary causes.A second criticism of engineering education has been that there is little effort to integrate parts ofthe curriculum2.

As Shibley(2010) pointed out, “A blended course involves a mixture of face-to-face activities withonline activities,” and “Usually face-to-face time is reduced by 50% but reductions rangefrom 10% - 90%” (Shibley, 2010). One of the major advantages of blended-learning isto maximize student mobility in a vibrant technology and socio-economic environment.For traditional classroom teaching, there were abundant research studies revealing thatthe classroom attendance had a positive impact on academic performance.

Students also install this software on their home computers.KiCad is software for the creation of electronic schematic diagrams and printed circuit boardartwork. It is useful for everybody working in electronic design. In the microprocessor devicescourse I teach, due to the complexity of the circuits we build, it is practically impossible to drawschematics by hand. Such complexity is due to the detail required to actually construct suchcircuits. Even in a modest microprocessor system with an 8-bit data bus and a 16-bit addressbus, keeping track of pins and pin numbers is problematic. In performing homework and projectwork alike, students absolutely require a powerful yet easy-to-use schematic capture tool.Dia

This hands-on lab work provides students withconcept relevancy, integrated knowledge, and technical skill required in engineering jobs [1].Hands-on and project based curriculum are examples of inductive learning techniques whereinductive learning reverses the traditional method of deductive learning. In deductive learning,a theory is presented to students and examples are then given in illustrations, in-classexperiments or homework exercises. In inductive learning, the process begins with a set ofobjectives or a problem to be solved. Faculty guides students along the way and the studentsreach an understanding of concepts through

Typically,in the laboratory the student will partner with another student. However, the dynamics of a teamof two does not at all compare to that of a larger group. Hence, while this overall approach istraditional and works well for the individual in an academic setting, it can be a shock when thestudent needs to work in a larger team in industry.
