Abstract :
The aim of this work is to introduce scenarios into the first and second year of our undergraduate electronic and electrical engineering curriculum to improve the educational and learning experience of our students and in doing so improve the quality of our graduates. This paper introduces the curriculum development involved in the implementation of scenarios. We reflect upon and analyze the successful aspects of this trial and identify those areas that are in need of improvement.
