Session - 2007The timeline for spring of 2007 has been restructured showing the inclusion of the Your Turn!activity at the end of each lecture. A rough time estimate was placed on sections of the lecture.No time estimate is made for the Muddiest Point as the time taken here is included in the timeestimated for the Your Turn! Lecture revisions during fall of 2006 were worked around thesetime estimates. A reevaluation of concepts taught in the course was also part of the fall of 2006revisions. The new set of lecture topics is shown in Table 2.The spring 2007 lecture topics shown in Table 2 closely reflect the order of the Holly Mooretextbook used for ES100.

At the same time, it poseschallenges to educators and policy makers seeking to understand how—or whether—engineeringcan become a more regular part of U.S. pre-college education. The noticeably thin presence ofmathematics, as well as of some key engineering concepts, such as modeling and analysis, raisesadditional questions about the difficulty of developing curricula that authentically represent thepractice of engineering.Another important question, not addressed in this paper but to be considered in the largerproject’s final report, is what impact K-12 engineering education has had on such things asstudent engagement and retention

We elaborate more on the hardware-based ones utilizing the NI-Speedy-33 to reflect the real-time examples as much as possible. However, most aspects ofsignal processing and DSP classes could be implemented with software-based modules, but theywould be based on non-real-time data.When building hardware-based modules, some of the signal processing concepts such as signalgeneration, FFT, convolution, and filtering can be implemented directly by the students with thefunctions and
