Student learning in a required Electrical Engineering (EE) course for non-EE majors: Perception of values for future work in multidisciplinary teams

Abstract

Due to the unprecedented progress of analog/digital electronics and programmable devices, all engineering fields are getting intertwined with Electrical Engineering (EE) and non-EE engineering majors are required to take at least one EE course. But still, some undergraduate non-EE majors do not see the relevance of EE to their studies until they face real-world problems at workplace, when the opportunity for learning in required courses is already missed. © American Society for Engineering Education, 2013.
