Developing VLSI in Electrical and Computer Engineering DepartmentTo prepare students in their VLSI career to meet the challenges of modern VLSI design,fabrication and testing, a series of VLSI courses have been developed to covercomprehensive fields in VLSI technology. These courses include but are not limited to: EE549 - Low Power VLSI Circuit Design, EE 589 -VLSI testing, EE 458 - Analog VLSI, etc.Furthermore, EE 448 - Microelectronic Fabrication is also developed to cover the fabricationprocesses of modern VLSI circuits.

While this is one important outcome for Ph.D.engineering students, we estimate, based on the number of engineering assistant professors in the United States andthe number of Ph.D. degrees granted in engineering each year, that no more than approximately 10-15% ofgraduates obtain tenure track faculty positions [4, 5]. Most engineering Ph.D. recipients pursue careers in industry,often in industrial R&D, where their deep technical knowledge is of immediate application. In both of these paths,however, the educational program focuses entirely on the students’ technical education.

Each year the studentswere separated into groups to create an educational video that illustrates a fluid dynamics conceptthat both engineers and non-engineers can learn from. A list of possible subjects to focus on wasprovided, but students were not restrained to those topics. The project was first assigned to aclass of 2012 with 32 students. The students did not receive any additional resources, such asvideo editing software, to complete the project in the five week period.

Many companies are beginning to offer these types of devices,and prices are getting to the point where students may be able to obtain one for about the cost ofa textbook to use throughout their college careers and beyond. Before outlining the suite of exercises, we take a look at the pedagogical framework whichprovides the basis for them. Most undergraduate engineering courses that have laboratorycomponents involve a series of structured exercises that employ preconfigured devices that yieldpredictable results.

. INTRODUCTIONAt our institution the majority of the undergraduate computer science majors go on to careers as software engineerswith a few continuing directly into graduate education. We have developed a hands-on approach to teachingalgorithms that emphasizes programming, benchmarking and tweaking. This report builds on our experience over athree-year period involving two different courses: “Analysis of Algorithms” and “Bioinformatics Algorithms”. Wefollow standard texts [10, 13], the students frame the problem, describe the solution and express an appropriatealgorithm in pseudocode. They derive a timing function and the Big-O behavior of the algorithm.Students then write programs in C++, C# or Java to implement the algorithms. After thorough testing to

engineeringstudents must show "a recognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning"[2]. Engineers must become lifelong learners in order for them to be capable of reinventingthemselves as industries change and evolve during their careers [6]. Engineers who do not havethe ability to learn and adapt to changing times will soon be left behind. Having the ability tolearn does not imply that an engineer will be an expert in many subjects. Instead, it means thatthey will be able to identify what they need to learn and then find and analyze the appropriateinformation sources to further their knowledge [5].Many students believe that they are expert searchers and that they can locate anything they needon the internet simply by searching
