Page 23.1391.2additional work that would be needed to develop materials and activities that would be relevantfor their courses and be approrpriate for the medium; students, despite their reliance, almost to thepoint of addiction, on interactive social media in other walks of life, have been even more resistantto on-line collaboration in their STEM courses, preferring even to having their grades penalizedrather than participating in such collaboration. There have been some reports of successful wiki-usage in engineering courses. But, as we will see later in the paper, the activities involved in thesereports tend to be primarily non-technical, e.g., engineering writing, etc.Peer-instruction 3 (PI) is a classroom technique that helps students

Page 23.1288.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2013 Use of a CPLD in an Introductory Logic Circuits CourseAbstractIn the 2011 Fall semester we successfully adopted a complex programmable logic device(CPLD) for use in our introductory logic circuits course at the University of Hartford. Whilethe adoption of the corresponding CAD tools is an important element, we have been

other approaches to technology use in the classroom.Many elementary students struggle to read, write and comprehend in the classroom6 and manyprograms have been created to help with basic reading proficiency. Some programs have lookedat solutions of utilizing computers to aid students in improving their reading literacy 5,8. It hasbeen documented that programs need to better take advantage of the hours that students spendplaying video games9. Interactive educational games like video games can encourage students tobe more responsive and are of greater benefit than inactive games10. Students are highly Page 23.531.4interested in learning to design

of content in a relatively short amount of time to meet the demandsof standardized tests. It is our goal with the Interactive Learning and Collaboration Environment(InterLACE ) Project to support teachers and students in this pursuit through Web-based toolsthat elicit and document the aforementioned process of design-based inquiry.BackgroundFocus on Students’ ReasoningTaking the constructivist perspective that students use and develop existing resources toconstruct knowledge with their peers and teachers15,16,20,22 , we posit that any science learningbegins with students’ ideas as the initial building block. Recent reform and research-and-development projects in science and engineering education have emphasized the importance ofscience

standard problem-solving procedures, but they must also have passion,adaptability and an eagerness to learn. Successful graduates need to be innovators, effectivecollaborators in interdisciplinary and multicultural environments, excellent communicators,leaders, and lifelong learners1. Based upon research emerging from the learning sciences,Sawyer’s description of a successful college graduate (in any field) has much in common withthe National Science Board (NSB) report. Sawyer writes that to be successful in the knowledgeage, graduates will need to develop a deep and integrated understanding of complex subjects;possess excellent communication skills; be able to participate in demanding discourse inmulticultural environments; possess a capacity for
