Abstract
In this study, a curriculum model including recent developments and technologies in the Radio
Frequency (RF) and Microwave Engineering field by using a blended approach is proposed. This study covers the
description of the content of theoretical and hands on applications, the integration model of the technological
tools into the proposed curriculum, and the instructional approaches used in the new course design. The main goal
of the course is to prepare students for future professional careers in RF and Microwave Engineering by supporting
them with new instructional technologies. The secondary goal of the course is to better prepare the students for
the sequence of senior courses in the Electrical and Electronics Engineering program of Atilim University. The
course is structured with a balance between theory and laboratory, including remote and in lab measurement
experiments as well as modeling and designing microwave components by means of computer tools and design
fabrication. The newly designed course is implemented at the Atilim University. The study also reports the first
semester implementation.
