. Systematic review techniques have recentlygained traction in the field of engineering education. A systematic review performed over aspecific area of practice can consolidate results from many studies into a synthesis of bestpractices.This paper presents the best practices for teaching introductory circuits which were identifiedthrough a systematic review of prior research. Relevant publications were identified andappraised with a set of coding criteria generated by the researchers. The coding results wereexamined and used to write a mixed-methods synthesis of consensus, disagreement, quality, andlimitations amongst studies identified by the systematic literature review. The results of thereview may inform educational techniques employed in post

fundamentalprinciple of FPGA security and provided technical tasks for the undergraduate.The goal of the work is to inform undergraduate students of difficulties that may be faced whenresearching material beyond the scope of their knowledge. A secondary goal is to presenttechniques to increase fluency with resources and results of the research conducted. Lastly,supervisors can gain insight into how best to prepare and support their researchers, particularlyoutside of a class or graduate environment.1 IntroductionCybersecurity projects are a growing topic within undergraduate and graduate education. Thisshould be expected as the focus of security increases in necessity across engineering fields.Previous work has explored new security courses, project

to practice themath of digital signal processing.3. Assessment MethodsVarious forms of assessment were conducted to determine the impact of partial flipping, including directand indirect assessment of student performance and affective assessment that involved studentperspectives on flipping and active learning.3.1. Methods: Direct Assessment of Student PerformanceSince a portion of the material in each course was flipped, it was possible to compare student performancewith the flipped versus non-flipped material within each course. Various assignments were assessed ineach course for this comparison. For ECE-1212 (Electronic Circuit Design Lab), quizzes, pre-lab exercises,and lab reports were evaluated. This evaluation was done during two

GlobalInstitute, the IoT will have an estimated market size of up to $11.1 Trillion per year in 2025 andbe a prominent source for new hires in the engineering field 4.However, the growth of IoT is outpacing the current workforce with necessary knowledge andskills. According to research from Gartner, insufficient staffing and lack of expertise is the top-cited barrier for organizations currently looking to implement and benefit from IoT 5. Forexample, due to the rapid change in IoT field, wireless companies are having difficulty findingthe entry-level graduates with sufficient education to make an immediate contribution in thedesign and development of IoT solutions 6. On the other hand, to the best of our knowledge, IoTtransceiver, an indispensable
