Abstract :
This paper describes the integration of project based education and the design of mixed signal integrated circuits and systems at Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI). The flexibility of WPI´s Projects Program allows a variety of undergraduate educational opportunities, including industry sponsored projects (both on campus and overseas) as well as interdisciplinary work involving collaboration with researchers in other fields
