In this paper, the authors discuss developments in a second-year design & professionalpracticen course as part of a four-year “spine” in an engineering program. The course is delivered in two phases–the first with Faculty-wide content and structure, and the second with more discipline-based focus and content. In 2018, the second phase of then Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) section of the course was redesigned to introduce a number of selected technical skills from upper-year classes into the second year in order to enhance prerequisite knowledge as a means to sooner and more deeply engage the students in the ECE discipline. This paper discusses incorporating current technology in the development and implementation of the course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering department.
