  • Motivating mechanical engineers to minor in Electrical Engineering
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 1999
    Co-Authors: S. Jahanian, J.m. Matthews
    Abstract:

    The objective of this paper is to describe an innovative teaching technique consisting of pedagogy and motivation as instruments to gradually enhance the interest of mechanical Engineering students for minoring in Electrical Engineering. A study was conducted comparing the performance of 87 students in four classes majoring in mechanical Engineering at Temple University, USA. Confidentially conducted student surveys were statistically analyzed. In conclusion, the number of students opting to take up a minor in Electrical Engineering gradually increased from 0 to 36% reflecting the gradual increase in Electrical Engineering content, through an emphasis on pedagogical strategy and the motivation provided.

  • Integrating optical and Electrical Engineering courses
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 1999
    Co-Authors: Keyvan Daneshvar
    Abstract:

    The expansion in the fields of optical Engineering and optoelectronics has made it essential to introduce optical Engineering concepts into undergraduate courses and curricula. Because of limits on the number of course requirements for the B.S. degree, it is not clear how these topics should be introduced without replacing some of the traditional requirements. This paper demonstrates how optical Engineering concepts can be easily presented as an integral part of Electrical Engineering subjects, with a minimal amount of replacement, while enhancing the depth and understanding of both fields. Courses such as linear signals and systems, electricity and magnetism, and electronics which traditionally represent the core requirements of the undergraduate Electrical Engineering curriculum contain subjects that have direct correlations with optical Engineering concepts. The major changes that are needed are the creation of textbooks that contain concepts and examples in areas of both optical and Electrical Engineering and some relearning and familiarization on the part of instructors. This approach allows for a fresh look at courses being offered in Electrical Engineering, while providing the necessary background in optical Engineering for students.
