Referring to Fig. 1, the maximumfinal course grade exceeds 100%, due to extra credit given during the project (exam #2). Thereare a number of outliers for each semester and for both groups. This is due in part to studentswho stopped attending the course and did not withdraw.

In addition, in the aspect of teaching computerarchitecture, a practical teaching methodology is needed. Since thetraditional classroom lecture-based teaching has many limitationson the learning capability, team-based learning methodologieshave been adapted in many disciplines in the areas of science andengineering. For the disciplines of computer science and computerengineering, project-based learning has been used as a popularmethodology in helping students to understand course materialsand to apply theoretical knowledge to solve real-world

to the principles ofoperation and electrical behavior of a number of electronic devices (principally the p-n junctiondiode, the MOSFET, and the BJT). An understanding of the I-V characteristics of these devicesis indispensable to understanding their use in circuits exploiting them as either linear or nonlineardevices. While simulation is valuable, it is arguably not a replacement of the demonstration ofthe I-V characteristics of real devices. A brief survey of ASEE literature on educational use ofcurve tracers is summarized below.Shwehdi et al [1] described a senior design project to build an instrument for measurement of thecurrent gain of NPN BJTs.

However, a workshop of recognized experts run by ACM's education board determinedwithout a doubt that studying theory is not enough to prepare a potential cybersecurityprofessional (McGettrick, 2013).
