inspired by theneeds of creating meaningful hands-on DSP lab experiments in the allotted one term period (tenweeks) and by the goal of improving student success in implementing DSP-based culminatingprojects that meet desired goals within realistic constraints. The benefits of integrating the MCUtools in the DSP course are very promising. It permits more practical DSP laboratories and DSP-based capstone projects that render richer design experiences and makes meeting realistic designconstraints feasible. Furthermore, it provides an integrated laboratory curriculum structurebetween embedded microcontroller and DSP courses which reduces students’ unnecessary effortof learning new tools in different courses. Consequently, students can focus more on

Games have often beenused throughout history as a tool to teach students important skills such as reading, logic, andmathematics; therefore, it logically follows that computer games can be utilized as an effectivetool for teaching students programming skills1.

The problem of integrating software testing concepts and related techniques into programmingand software engineering (SE) courses is still an open research problem. Over the past decade, therehave been many investigations, specifically by members of both academic community and softwareindustry, into ways to integrate software testing into computer science (CS) and SE curricula.

During the fifth offering of the course, students sawhardware issues with the implementation of the CAN hardware during milestones eight and nine.By the sixth offering of the course, these hardware problems were partially worked out withworkarounds, so students were able to complete assigned tasks through the eighth milestonebefore reaching some integration problems that were related to more CAN hardware issues.

Despite this, few universities count computer science (CS) classestoward the core curriculum. Recently, our university, a Hispanic- and minority-serving, researchintensive university located in the American Southwest began counting CS towards fulfilling thelaboratory science requirement in the undergraduate core curriculum. That our university servesa population overwhelmingly underrepresented in CS provided us with an opportunity toinvestigate the characteristics and perceptions of students who enroll in a course like this.Literature

There are a number oftopics in this process including optimization for speed, area, power, and ease of design. The lastof these leads us to exploring schematic design versus HDL design (and possibly high-levelsynthesis techniques). These topics can be spread out over three to four courses, but can also havebeen taught in one to two courses depending on a universities resources and curriculum. Finally,most courses in this domain are accompanied with practical lab design, normally, throughsimulation in software such
