Temporary course proposal: ECE 398RI, intended to eventually be offered as ECE 328 "Fields and Waves Virtual Reality Laboratory."  ECE398-RIlie.doc, ECE398_Syllabus_Ilie.pdf

Questions from committee members who can't attend:

  1. Would this count as one of the lab requirements? A: not for now.

  2. Are the mini exams the only deliverable?  (no lab report, etc.) A: no, 50% mini exams, 50% Mathematica homework.

  3. Does this lab not only reinforce concepts, but also contribute somehow to the students' ability to 'do' something?  I think this is an ABET category...being able to independently build, design, create, measure etc. something based on concepts learned.    A: the lab is very much focused on the solution of PDEs using Mathematica.

Status: approved for fall semester 2020.
