The main focus of the project is to provide middle school and high schoolscience, math and technology teachers with hands-on interdisciplinary experience with faculty instate-of-the-art laboratories of alternative energy, nanotechnology, fuel cell, and modernmanufacturing. The goal of the institute is to improve teachers’ content knowledge and teachingpractices in ways that increase the academic performance of their students and in ways that buildcapacity within their schools for continued, sustained student learning. Problem-based learning is a student-centered pedagogy in which students learn about asubject in the context of complex and real problems.

The experience exposed some limitationsimposed by the technology. For example, when circuits must avoid logic hazards (momentary“glitches” during transitions) as in asynchronous finite state machine design, FPGAs cannot beused properly, and CPLDs must be coerced into working by clumsily “fooling” the synthesissoftware.
