allow for effective learning, suchas the measurement of very small voltages/currents, or observations of high frequency signalsusing a high-speed scope, and so forth. With this in mind, the mobile studio approach is truly seenas an additional tool to be utilized where possible, but is not a complete replacement fortraditional laboratory equipment for all courses. We envision that aside from these very fewexceptions, nearly all courses can be designed to utilize the mobile studio lab instrumentationeffectively.IV Mobile Studio LogisticsThis section discusses the key considerations that informed the hardware selection process andguided the decision process for the practical logistics of implementing a mobile studio basedelectrical engineering

most growth in this dimension (termedcollaboration in Table 2) of engineering practice. This is especially encouraging since learninghow to collaborate to achieve desired outcomes is one of the objectives of SEED Lab. It alsodoes not come as a surprise since the complexity of the project demands cohesive collaborationbetween members who are “experts” in a sub-discipline. Evidently, students realized how criticalteamwork is and therefore, it is something at the forefront of their minds as a pathway to success.For the team to succeed, more is required beyond the completion of individual pieces. When theteammates come together to integrate their subsystems, it gives them a means of practicing andlearning collaboration. The phase of integration

approach to inquiry.Five (5) male junior and senior electrical engineering students who had taken at least two electriccircuit courses participated in this study. The participants were asked open-ended questions viathink-aloud protocol to explain real-world electrical incidents. They were expected to verbalizetheir thought process and learning of circuit concepts. The analysis was guided by the skills aspectof the engineering habits of mind framework, where students use mental models and toolsnecessary to make educated choices and use approaches to thinking when solving problems insimilar or new contexts. All participants generally used mental tools associated with electric circuittheory, which indicated that students use mathematical models and

The majority of students were intending to major in Electrical Engineering andComputer Engineering, yet the program was inclusive and involved students intending to majorin Mechanical Engineering, Biology, Physics, Chemical Engineering, Kinesiology, and others.Although possibly looking at different career fields with their majors in mind, these studentshave strong desires to better prepare themselves for applying, interviewing, and experiencing aninternship. Many students had not had an internship before and many have not even had theconfidence to apply.The

, based on feedback from our industry partners and alumni, we saw that thestudents performed very poorly in software design. When they were tasked with writing a smallscript to accomplish a specific goal (e.g., computing the Fibonacci sequence), students performedjust fine. However, when given a larger design specification and asked to build a completeend-to-end system integrating both hardware and software, students did not even know where tobegin. Some might argue that those skills should belong only to computer scientists, but that issimply a fallacy. For the vast majority of engineering professions today, good programmingskills are no longer an option but a prerequisite.With these insights in mind, we designed a sophomore-level course that
