From two weeks into the class, students areasked to form groups of up to four and propose a final project. For their final project, students arerequired to design and build a complete working system of their choice. Their final project isrequired to make use of both the processor running RTOS and at least one custom IP blockrunning on the FPGA.In the final section of this paper I examine student feedback for the course, and comment onsome of the challenges I faced in

One of the cornerstone courses in theprogram is a Construction Management Course that incorporates a variety of hands-on, real-world, learning challenges. The objective of the first third of the course is for the students togain a foundational understanding of the basics of construction management to include projectbidding, contract mechanisms, scheduling, estimating, and project controls. The topics arepresented in a traditional classroom environment. The students are then challenged in the nextthird of the course to apply those construction management skills in a hands-on constructionsimulation exercise identified as the

In addition, students develop self-efficacy in their discipline throughparticipating in cross-disciplinary experiences [5]. Cross-disciplinary experiences also helpstudents learn to value expertise outside their area of study and appreciate the limitations andconstraints of information in other fields [6]. Course instructors can also benefit from sharingresponsibility for a course and learning about other disciplines [7].The unfamiliarity of cross-disciplinary activities can lead to frustrations despite their manybenefits.
