Both the on-campus and DL versions of EET 315W labs are divided into two parts. Thefirst half of the course consists of six labs designed, tested and simulated with Multi-Sim 7.0electronic simulator and one hardware lab. The second half of the lab challenges the student todesign, build, test, transfer to wire-wrap, retest, troubleshoot, and then demonstrate a majorhardware project. The specifications for the project force the student to use the design theoryand techniques developed via the seven labs. The on-campus students have the advantage of theuse of the departmental

Society for Engineering Management (ASEM) defines Engineering Managementas “the art and science of planning, organizing, allocating resources, and directing andcontrolling activities which have a technological component”1. This definition is followed by thesentence: “Engineering Management is rapidly becoming recognized as a professionaldiscipline.” Engineering managers are distinguished from other managers by the fact that theyposses both an ability to apply engineering principles and a skill in organizing and directingtechnical projects and people in technical jobs”.

Although the projects were somewhat open-ended, the course was highly structured.The students were guided through the design process through the use of specific deliverablesand concrete due dates. The course also emphasized the importance of communication; studentteams were required to deliver oral and written design reviews at the middle of the project andat the end of the project.
