analysis.” Prerequisite: Calculus III with a grade of “C” or better.While the course has a good coverage of the statistical topics listed in the catalog description,most of the examples fall into the physical or social sciences rather than engineering. Thestudents learn statistical techniques but they do not see the correlation with their own curriculum.Statistics becomes, in their minds, a separate course with little or no application beyond passinga requirement for their degree16.The degree sequences, especially with regard to the mathematics content, are similar for bothmajors as shown in Figure 1. The course is recommended to be taken in the junior year when thestudents are taking their core electrical or computer engineering courses. Many do

research also has found that students attention spans during lectures istypically fifteen minutes long and after this time their attention begins to drop dramatically.Therefore, Prince2 pointed out that breaking up the lecture into discrete sections can refresh thestudents’ mind and help to keep them engaged. To engage students, and have a real timeassessment of students’ understanding, a Classroom Response Systems (CRS) has beenincreasingly used in many engineering classroom3-6. A CRS (sometimes called a personalresponse system, student response system, or audience response system) is a set of hardware(clickers) and software that facilitates face-to-face teaching activities. Previous research has shown that CRS can enhance student

the device, and many programming languages such as Java, C, Python,and Scratch lay a foundation for ingenuity and craftsmanship in competitions and events wheregroups of like-minded dabblers and inventors gather for mutual co-creation.3The first section of this paper gives a full description of the Raspberry Pi, an overview of all ourhardware and software modifications, and the order they will be completed in. The secondsection walks through all of these steps to successfully complete the project. The final section ofthis paper discusses the results of this project, the implications it has for engineering ineducation, and concludes with how to move forward with this project for future modifications
