The student projects must uti-lize the DSK6713 which includes the HPI daughtercard. The winDSK6 program is also used todemonstrate some of the DSP software that the students need to write for their projects. The audioeffects, FIR and IIR filter routines, and the scope/spectrum analyzer are used as a reference for thefunctionality of the project code. The audible effects of aliasing and quantization noise are alsodemonstrated in class using winDSK6.In ECE 330, the first signals and systems

The course presents just enough C,at a very low level and in a specific topic order, to enable the students to better comprehendmicroprocessors and how they can control a broad range of devices. The updatedMicroprocessors course is currently in its fourth iteration.IntroductionThe C programming language is increasingly being utilized in development of embeddedsystems and ultra-small microcontrollers that were previously the domain of assembly language-only programming.

Afew faculty members involved in these projects attended a week-long summer institute from theuniversity’s teaching and learning center (called “eLearning”) which discussed best practices invideo design. As a result, the videos created for the two grants were short and modular, withmost videos being less than 10 minutes in length and covering a single topic or example; shortvideos are generally preferred by students [9], [10], [11].

The long-term goal of this project is to awardgame progress based on class assessments such as quizzes, homework, and exams. By tyingprogression in the game to a student’s progress in class, the student may find the class morerelatable, as their actions in class influence a game with familiar mechanics. The gamified classmay also motivate students to complete more difficult homework and exams. Students havingpositive experiences with giving increased effort on tasks and overcoming challenges can lead toimproved persistence and increase the likelihood of engagement in the class. This paper

The instructor grades theassignment, gives feedback, and returns the graded assignment with the feedback to the studentwithin a week of submission. At the end of the semester, the student revises the eight workplacedocuments based on the instructor feedback, and compiles the documents into a portfolio, whichis then submitted as the final project.

At thesame time, it is essential to make a distinction between team performance and teameffectiveness. This is because team performance represents the results of group’s activities whilepaying little heed to how the group have accomplished the task.

In this case, the courses were Digital CommunicationSystems and Wireless Communications.During the first week of the first 7-week course, all of the in-class demonstrations and hands-onexperiences needed to be shifted to online/remote delivery.

Traditional engineering classrooms: Challenges and solutionsTraditional engineering classrooms adopt the objectivist approach—the instructor leads thelearning process and students passively receive information. Students’ learning is evaluatedusing a combination of homework, quizzes, projects, and exams. The problem with such anassessment approach is that it limits the students’ incentives to learn beyond grades. we arguethat traditional classrooms are effective in some respects such as when lectures focus onpresenting defined and agreed-upon facts and skills14.New themes have emerged with the intention of improving the efficiency of teaching andreducing
