Abstract

The author claims that there has been a valuable symbiotic relationship between teaching and research in the case of his academic career, which now spans over 40 years, and that it ought to be true for all engineering professors now and in the future. Through the author´s research activity and that of his students, he has had the opportunity to become knowledgeable and proficient in important new domains of electrical engineering as they developed. Based on this experience he has designed and implemented a number of new courses in his department while the subject matter was new to academia. His research has been enhanced by virtue of teaching new material such as problem-solving techniques, engineering design methodology for both hardware and software and new computer languages such as Modula-2
