SerialPeripheral Interface (SPI) and Inter Integrated Circuit (I2C) protocols are presented to students inorder to learn the serial input output capabilities of microcontrollers in addition to teach them theskills required to validate and verify the correctness of the communication protocols using theMSO. Students are required to write a program for transferring data between two microcontrollersusing both assembly and C languages.The lab instruction details together with the circuit design and the expected outputs are presentedto help instructors implement the labs. For future work, the authors are planning to propose moreserial and parallel protocols based on the MSO

These might include for example “the development of more onlinecourse opportunities [that] may help these students succeed”, as well as offer them moreconvenience. In essence, the commuting aspect of students’ lives introduces the main theme thatif being a commuter means fewer opportunities for skill development, then providing supportonline would be a possible option for giving those commuters more access to skill buildingactivities (Nelson, Misra, Sype, & Mackie, 2016), and enforcing the idea that the traditionalsingular mode of learning followed by universities may not be the best

Prior work suggests there is overlap between some of the keycompetencies systems architects should have with those required for artists [8]. This insight wasused to suggest a plan to teach systems engineering using a studio art approach, as employed inthe arts, rather than the traditional instructional approaches employed when teaching engineeringsciences [9]. In this paper, we will report what happened in the first semester where the studio artapproach was implemented in a systems engineering course. We collected both quantitative andqualitative feedback from students to understand how they responded to the new course format.As often occurs when trying a new teaching method

When encountering challenging, gender-based situations, women react in various ways, from ignoring the situation to leaving theengineering field completely. Through a literature review, this paper investigates conceptuallyaligning counterfactual thinking and career motivation theory for early career women engineers.Counterfactual thinking is the creation of alternative scenarios to events that already occurredand imagining different consequences or benefits. Career motivation theory aims to understandcareer plans and decisions. From these theories, this review explores the effects of counterfactualthinking on women engineers’ reactions to
