The second course takes places in a 15,000 square foot makerspace withroom for students to work in teams of 3-4 on a project that incorporates many engineering skills,one of which is a basic introduction to circuitry.While engineering students are first taught programming in ENGR 110, their first exposure tocircuitry occurs in the second course in the sequence. In ENGR 111, students first learn aboutcircuitry components before constructing very basic circuits with an Arduino. Then, studentslearn about circuitry principles such as Ohm’s Law and build more basic circuits with anemphasis on state measurements.This first exposure to circuitry concepts takes place in the middle of a semester-long project thatstudent

Hands-On ProjectsAbstractEach first-year student attending the J. B. Speed School of Engineering (SSoE) at the Universityof Louisville (UofL), regardless of declared major, must complete a two-course sequence ofintroductory engineering courses. These courses, Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice I(ENGR 110) and Engineering Methods, Tools, & Practice II (ENGR 111), introduce thefundamental tenets of the engineering profession. The first course in the sequence, ENGR 110,focuses on introducing a variety of fundamental engineering skills. The second course, ENGR111, is a hands-on, project-based course housed in a 15,000 square foot makerspace that hasstudents integrate and apply the skills learned in ENGR 110. One of the many skills

Leveraging the Communities of Practice framework, we examine how computerscience students integrate new knowledge from education and computer science to engage in aneducational data mining project. In the first course iteration, we investigated the creation of amultidisciplinary community by connecting students from both disciplines through a blend of problem-based learning instruction and traditional lectures. In the second version of the course, we established amultidisciplinary environment by bringing two instructors, one with computer science expertise and theother from education. To investigate the effectiveness of these approaches, we conducted

By using LOMBOK we were able to reduce in places theamount of coding necessary since LOMBOK handled the generation of this code at compile timeincluding certain constructors and getters.

Given that Rojas taught this course several times before, heassumed that previous assignments already mapped well to the Course Learning Objectives(CLOs) and he did not need to update the assignment content.
