About
Andy Deck is an educator and engineer whose work centers on transforming the way engineering is taught at the university level. His primary research area is curriculum development for electrical and computer engineering (ECE), with a strong emphasis on hands-on, project-based learning. His most cited work, "Cooperative University/Industry Development Of A Freshman ‘Introduction To Ece Design’ Course" (2020, 4 citations), exemplifies his major contribution: bridging the gap between academic theory and real-world practice. In this paper, Deck details a collaboration between Georgia Tech’s School of ECE and National Instruments, using LEGO MINDSTORMS to create an engaging, design-focused course for first-year students. This initiative has helped reshape the introductory engineering experience, making it more accessible and inspiring for newcomers. While his citation count is modest, the impact of his pedagogical innovations is significant, influencing how institutions approach early engineering education. Deck’s work demonstrates a commitment to cooperative, industry-aligned teaching that prepares students for the challenges of modern engineering.
