So as to help the typical student through the relatively complexconsiderations in designing the project circuit, several standard lecture sessions were convertedinto active-learning group work. These activities were spread out over the semester and in manycases the activities amounted to pre-lab exercises including studying component datasheets andspeculating on the impact of component specifications on circuit function. The lab activitieswere made to require students to tackle open-ended problems and fashioned using inquiry-basedtechniques.The

The overarching goal of thesegames is to provide an attractive and motivating environment for students to tackle engineeringdesign in general, and to impart essential reading and reasoning strategies to promote improvedproblem-solving skills, in particular. More specifically, the broad objectives of the games are to:1. Improve students’ active reading and thinking of ECE concepts by exposing them to a selection of metacognitive reading strategies through carefully designed game activities demonstrating ECE principles.2
