Our ultimate goal as university educators is to guide students through perhaps the most important stage of a life-long learning experience. The principal challenges associated with achieving this goal for computer engineering students are to teach them the engineering fundamentals and specializations they need to successfully develop and integrate various software and hardware components into a complex product, provide them with the underlying engineering ethics and economics as well as liberal arts exposure that will guide them to develop products beneficial to our society, empower them with the oral and written communication skills needed to thrive in typical team-based engineering environments, and impart to them a learning experience that is rewarding rather than frustrating by better teaching back-breaker concepts and by more finely interlacing lectures with hands-on lab experience.
