the main teaching platform. However, when presented with options,students never use this platform for class projects or capstone projects. Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries. These benefitsencouraged some students to implement the C-Stamp microcontroller in their senior designprojects with fairly successful outcomes [1]. The

Also, faculty members are usually teaching 5-7classes per semester (as opposed to the 2-3 a year by their four-year counterparts). It can beparticularly daunting to add research students on top of this teaching load.The college will often not have the resources to fund an expensive laboratory or even provide anappropriately-size space for large-scale testing. In addition, in an environment where theemphasis is on instruction, taking on research students in addition to a heavy teaching load canbe quite daunting to faculty.Another threat to research at a community college is the push for courses to be transferrable.Most four-year engineering schools have not

Often, teaching design-oriented and/ or field-related subjects do require“first-hand” knowledge that instructors could only get by having taken part, or been involved inreal engineering problems. Relying mainly on textbooks and/ or reference material, as the onlysource to teach from, is regarded by many, as an oversimplification or a deviation from reality.

experiment students use a commercial optical pulse sensor to measure theirpulse rates and resulting waveforms are observed on an oscilloscope. Students exploreanalog signal processing in the form of filtering and amplification. They construct asimple RC circuit to filter the pulse waveform and investigate the effects of a varyingtime constant on the information content (and noise) in the signal. An operationalamplifier is also used and students demonstrate the gain adjustment that is possible byselecting different resistor values. Students experience first hand the impact electricalcomponents have on signals from biological systems.Radiation from Wireless Devices - This module teaches systems-level thinking by givingstudents a pre-laboratory group

Past studies have shown that whileengineering instructors value creativity, they believe it to be lacking in their students, while atthe same time current engineering students do not think that creativity is valued by theirprofessors1. Similarly, while there is a greater industry emphasis on recruiting creative engineersand a greater interest in creativity from new engineering students, related literature questionswhether or not postsecondary institutions are teaching creative thinking to their engineeringstudents1. Postsecondary institutions must consider
