1 The Balance Between Theoretical and Practical Work Within Electrical and Computer Engineering Courses Dr. Bahawodin Baha March 2008. Development Partnerships in Higher Education programme (DelPHE)

2 Outline of this presentation Objectives and outcomes A Successful engineering curriculum include subjects the following area: –Basic Science such as physics and chemistry –Mathematics –Fundamental subjects in EE –Computer modelling and Simulation –Practical work –Advanced subjects –Practical work related to advanced subjects –Projects

3 Objectives Technical knowledge Laboratory and Design Skills Communication Skills Preparation for Further Studies Preparing for the Profession

4 Outcomes To apply knowledge of mathematics, science, and engineering To design and conduct experiments, such as to analyse and interpret data To design a system, component, or process to meet desired needs To function in multi-disciplinary teams To identify, formulate, and solve engineering problems To communicate effectively To understand the impact of engineering solutions in a global and societal context. To engage in life-long learning To apply the techniques, skills, and modern engineering tools necessary for engineering practice To establish a background for admission to engineering and other professional postgraduate programs.

5 Basic science and Math content Fundamentals Mathematics I Mathematics II Mathematics III Mathematics IV Mathematics V Science I Science II Introduction to Electrical Engineering

6 Core subjects Circuits I Circuits II Electronics I Electronics II Digital Electronics and Microprocessors I Introduction to Computing Signals and Systems Control Theory Microprocessors and Microcontrollers II Laboratory work in Electric Circuits Laboratory work in Computing Laboratory work in Electronics I Laboratory work in Electronics II

7 Advanced subjects Computer Architecture I Software Development using high language such as C Microprocessors and Microcontrollers Software Development using assembly language Database Compiler design Computer Networks ICT

8 Computer modeling and simulations Real systems are analyzed Mathematical models are constructed Models are tested using circuit simulators (SPICE) or equation solvers such as Matlab and Simulink

9 Practical work Prototype systems are constructed and tested Practical results are obtained from measurement Practical and simulation results are compared The validity of the proposed analysis is validated by comparing the two sets of results form simulation and by physically testing the system

10 Projects Development Research Analyze, build, simulate and test a system Develop software

11 Summary A balance between theoretical and practical subjects is a major requirement. There is no industrial base in Afghanistan In the context of Afghanistan, I would suggest that at least 50% of the courses should be concentrated on practical work.

12 The END Thank you for your attention. Development Partnerships in Higher Education programme (DelPHE)
