They spend a total of three weeks in each of the experiential learning facilities(laboratories and other learning environments), and working with a dedicated teaching team to get exposed tovarious project-based approaches in each field of study.Following this model, a set of one-credit courses are also designed to be offered in the second semester,focusing on each particular undergraduate program. Therefore, in their first year, students not only know aboutother programs of study in the school, but also get experience with a deep-dive, program-specific survey courseas a follow-up in their second semester of study.

In a traditional laboratory environment, the students conductexperiments, collect data and report their results under the guidance of their professor.

maximum and to add material requires removing other material. There simplyisn’t room in the curriculum for another class, so either electives must be traded or themicrocontroller skills must be taught in existing classes.The disadvantage of the integrated approach presented in this paper is that more faculty must“buy in” to the program and be able to teach microcontroller applications, and that some originalmaterial in each course featuring microcontrollers will be replaced. This paper will measurestudent perceptions of the approach taken in order to measure whether the advantages outweighthe disadvantages.The three courses targeted to add microcontroller material at the California Maritime Academyare Computer Programming, the Circuits Laboratory
