In recent years,there is a need to introduce microcontrollers to the students in this course. The reason is that ourprogram does not offer a microcontroller course, but microcontrollers are used very often insenior design and could also be used in the course projects of some upper division courses. Theefforts of adding Arduino to the curriculum of Digital Circuits Fundamentals started about threeyears ago. In particular, we have used a low-cost Arduino kit and redesigned two labassignments to teach students how to use Arduino and how to interface Arduino with digitaldisplays and

A significantchallenge facing design educators is “needs finding” – namely sourcing (i.e. identifying) andspecifying (i.e. appropriately bounding) student design projects. To develop authentic,community-based or client-sponsored projects, faculty spend considerable time making contacts,discussing problems, and packaging tractable design projects to meet the design problems needsof first year to graduate design teams. The skills of sourcing and specifying projects can also beimportant for students themselves to learn, as solutions to well-articulated and important needscan create value for our
