developments in inexpensivecomputing power and internet communication, with the increasing number of online academicprograms, have prompted the need of laboratory teaching.1Laboratory teaching is the primary method of developing skills and competencies forengineering and/or engineering technology students, ensuring a close fit for the industryrequirements. The set of skills and knowledge acquired by an engineering graduate has to meetthe industry requirements of a global economy. Thus, the laboratory has become an essentialcomponent in all engineering programs.2To determine if the set of skills and competencies required by the industry are properlyaddressed, an assessment plan is generally adopted by engineering/engineering technologydepartments

This laboratoryinstructional system has been used to teach assembly language programming, peripheralinterfacing, and modular system design. The system itself is a 16-bit MCU designed and built foran academic environment.Several factors went into the choice of what microprocessor to include in the MCUPC laboratorysystem design. First, and, arguably, most importantly, the resultant addition to the cost of theentire system must be taken into account. With an instructional laboratory system such as this,reducing the cost of each component as much as possible is

successful in recruiting faculty to sponsorsenior design projects in their laboratory. Realizing the potential for increasing the facultyworkload by adding a new course to curriculum would be of central concern, we identifiedfaculty who volunteered to teach the new junior and sophomore level courses. We alsoredistributed the teaching assistant allocation so that no new teaching assistant slots would berequired to implement the new design sequence. Furthermore, we identified several faculty whoenthusiastically championed the idea of having senior students participate in the researchprojects. As a result of these efforts, the vote for adopting the new design sequence was nearlyunanimous.ImplementationFollowing a vote to adopt the new design sequence

To assimilate new information andincorporate it into the existing knowledge, students need to restructure their knowledge for themselveswhich can be accomplished through active learning.A number of tenants underlie this teaching philosophy, including (Knight, 2004)  Students take direct responsibility for their knowledge, proactively engaging in the study of their texts and reference materials, participation and leadership in course activities, completing assignments, laboratories, and exploration in the field.  The instructor assumes more of a role of a facilitator: “a guide

Within this framework, 4 models of aRube Goldbergineering curriculum were iteratively designed and implemented. Fundamentally,all models shared the same learning objectives, content material and pedagogical approaches, butvaried in terms of the implementation setting and structure.

Webelieve that exposure to engineering design can help students develop their problem solvingskills, teach them to better synthesize information, and exercise skills required to integrate andanalyze knowledge. Consequently, courses in engineering design represent the spine (boldedcourses with a white background in Figure 1) of our integrated engineering curriculum.2Students are first exposed to engineering design during their freshman year with reverseengineering modules in our Introduction to Engineering course. Then, sophomore through senioryear, students enroll sequentially in our six-course design
