DESIGN TOOLS: THE SOPHOMORE COURSE IN A FOUR-YEAR DESIGN SEQUENCE

摘要

This paper describes the sophomore-level course in a recently developed four-year vertically integrated design sequence in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University Park campus of The Pennsylvania State University. We briefly describe the motivation behind revising the design curriculum and the integration of material among the four design courses. We then focus on the objectives, development and implementation of the sophomore-level course.
