This model still permits roomfor traditional laboratory and project components.IntroductionIn standard teaching, course topics are covered on a set schedule and exams occur at set schedules.If students have not learned the material for an earlier portion of the class, the course moves alonganyway and focuses on new more difficult material that builds on the previous material thatstudent still does not understand. This promotes a fixed mindset promoting the idea that if youdidn’t get a concept, you never will. At the end of the course, students may only have a partialunderstanding of the material and may be

There have been various pedagogical approaches specifically designed for probability andstatistics courses for engineering students. For example, the use of technology was discussed in[1], where the author also illustrated the helpfulness of laboratory-like exercises through computersimulations in a probability and statistics course in Texas A&M University. A set of constructivistexercises have been developed in teaching probability and statistics in the University of SouthFlorida [2] to promote realistic mathematics education and inquiry-oriented teaching and learning.These exercises encourage students to work in teams, create their own knowledge, and

This behooves engineering programs at universities acrossthe world to adapt their curricula to prepare the graduates for the challenges in the engineeringindustry. The engineering curriculum which adopts integrated projects on a centralizedengineering project platform [1] enables the student to become an active, intentional, and goal-oriented learner through problem-solving [2]-[3] in a project-based [4]-[6] and project-enhancedlearning [7] environment. Traditionally, core lecture and laboratory courses have been taught inrelative isolation of each other. This approach does not effectively

entrepreneurial opportunities in renewable energy systems.Introduction While many engineering educators have heard of service learning or extracurricularuniversity activities designed to engage students with renewable energy technologies [1,2] oreven clinic-based courses and project-based learning experiences involving photovoltaic (PV)projects [3-7] it remains a more difficult and challenging task to bring these experiences into thecore curriculum of an ECE program. This paper details one somewhat successful attempt.Throughout six weekly laboratories (at the latter half of the semester), teams comprising threestudents each analyzed and evaluated the potential for PV to power an electrical appliancetypically found in a residential setting.
