academic institutions feel that it is important tointegrate engineering because many modern systems are developed with integrated engineeringteams. In 2005 the National Academy of Engineering in “Educating the Engineer of 2020,”stated many benefits and merits of co-teaching, just in time teaching, and multi-disciplinaryteaching.1 Recent program outcomes criteria published by ABET have included in its list of a-kcriteria, a requirement for engineering programs to demonstrate that students have “an ability tofunction on multidisciplinary teams.”2 Even discipline specific organizations have identified theneed for their disciplines to cross boundaries.

ECEdepartment offers EI&S course, a 3 credit course for non-EE majors. The course has a largeintake with approximately 100 students from mechanical, bio-system, material, applied, and civilengineering majors. The course is delivered in a traditional manner through lectures, labs, and apublished e-book made available to the students via university web. The course is managedthrough Angel, the university’s course e-management system, only to the extent of postingassignments, solutions and individual grades. The course is not assigned a fixed term faculty.Like most service courses, teaching responsibility is rotated among the departmental faculty on a2-3 year cycle.The course introduces the breadth of EE while providing hands-on experience in
