How might you reorganize the Laws course?

Stated from my answer to question number
1, the students should be given a handout from every
reporter. The handout would be useful to the students
after ever chapters, to refresh the minds of the
students. At the end of the term, a debate will be held
using those handouts just to test if the students have
learned from the course.

3.

What should be modified or added in the ECE

program to further strengthen the course?
In every laboratory class, a law should be
discussed. For example, the law pertaining to ECE
equipment should be discussed in details for the
students to understand how it will be handled with
caution.

Overall, what improvements would you suggest to

make Laws a better course?
The course ECE70, ECE Laws, Codes and
Standard, is the study of various laws, codes, ethics,

communications engineering profession. From the
name of the course, Laws, after all the reporting of all
the students, the professor should give one problem
pertaining to ECE laws and all the students should
have a debate to know if the students learned from all
the laws.
