From the late 90s to middle of the first decadeof the new century, a vast majority of educational courses aligned themselves to teaching 8085 asthe introductory microprocessor course followed by AVR or PIC. The recurring themeobserved in the dispensation of these courses was the relative architectural stability, continuedprofessional popularity as well as ‘good return on investments' in terms of laboratory equipmentand teacher training.Since the middle of the last decade when the Cortex-M ARM architecture became available, adebate on the suitability as well as the viability of running theory and laboratory course aroundthe ARM architecture has been raging.

content.For this paper, two student groups, in an EET laboratory experience, are compared based onthe primary metric number of failed attempts to meet circuit board test specifications. Thestudent test body was divided into two groups. A control course section group, where notroubleshooting instruction was given and designated the “As Is” state. The second sectiongroup, “Improved State” was given an extensive troubleshooting methodology as part of theirinitial training. The primary metric, number of failed attempts to meet specification, waschosen as it is easy to measure by student Teaching Assistants (TA) and was also used to assessthe Sigma process capability for each group. The Sigma capability of each group provided afurther measure of the

of a Power Systems Course for EETAbstract:There are a number of areas that a modern Power Systems course in EET should consider. Oneis the conflict between laboratory experiences traditionally taught in an Electrical Power Courseand the ArcFlash requirements of NFPA 70E. A second is the need to teach the calculations offaults necessary to build a modern one-line diagram for a manufacturing facility. A third is alook at the theory behind all electrical and magnetic circuit design (Maxwell’s Equations). Apossible fourth is the expanded role of emerging energy generation methods and the impact thesehave on the grid. This paper discusses the development of various methods used to teach thetraditional Motors or Power Systems course while

done at course levels without approval from thehigher levels.Further enhancement of the laboratories and course project includes making slaves amicrocontroller-based control system, as well as adding a light sensor and LED to form a closedloop control system that provides feedback in the form of analog signals. With the motor speedcontrol project, there is one drawback, that is, all signals are digital. The addition of the lightsensor adds the analog component to the DCS. Student learning will be evaluated throughsurveys as the laboratories and course project are finalized.References1.
