the 1990’s undergraduate science programs, physics programs in particular, began to developactive learning techniques to supplement or replace traditional lecture methods. Two of the moreeffective methods developed were just-in-time-teaching (JiTT)1 and peer instruction2. Theseactive learning techniques have proven to be effective methods and have steadily been deployedin undergraduate classrooms over the past 15 years. While not limited to use in the physicalsciences, these techniques have seen much wider use in science classrooms than in engineeringclassrooms. The results of a national survey of faculty using peer instruction show 94% of usersfrom the natural sciences and only 3% from engineering3. While there is some publishedscholarly

This isinitiated by a kick-off meeting at the company. The MEDITEC program pays for the students totravel to the company to meet their technical leads, learn all relevant information about theproject, obtain necessary parts or equipment, and see the facilities.FinancesThe donation from each company is used to support the MEDITEC projects. The moneyallocated per project is nominally $5,000. Any funds that are not used remain in the MEDITECfund.

future engineers willalso think more green energy efficient in the original designs they perform since they will nowhave the tools to evaluate options and present the long term savings of a greener energy designthat might have a slightly more initial cost.

Overall, thepreliminary findings of formative and summative evaluations support the claim that the newlydeveloped course was effective in helping students develop conceptual understanding andinterest in quantum mechanics. We have also identified areas for further improvement of hands-on and virtual lab experiments. The course materials as well as evaluation instruments form asolid foundation for further development and expanded offering in other institutions of thiscourse for engineering students.AcknowledgementThis research was supported by NSF Grant No. DUE-0837670.Bibliography1 D.

Faculty worked in their area(s) of expertise.The result is a set of materials that is targeted directly at sophomore students. Each sub-discipline area was instructed to devote one lesson of their module to introducing their sub-discipline and three lessons to explaining one (or more) facet of the sub-discipline.

: • Project-1: the students were given digital logic functions such as f =xx +x x,1 2 2 3 and were asked to implement them by using the standard 7400 series chips. Figure 1 depicts a typical practical implementation of the logic function f . The students were asked to prepare the truth table of the circuits, and to implement them on breadboards and verify the expected functional operations. An Light Emitting Diode (LED)s were connected to the output of the logic circuits so that Logic 0 and Logic 1 output could be identified easily, i.e., when the light was on, Logic 1 is understood while logic 0 is interpreted when the light was off. x1
