This article provides details of a revised computer organization and ar-chitecture course, offered primarily to sophomore students in a school ofcomputer science and engineering course with six undergraduate major pro-grams. After this first offering of this redesigned course, overall approvalrates have improved for this course. This first offering of this course was af-fected by the COVID-19

It furnishes an alternative route for green energy withrenewed design emphasis on semi-conductor technology instead of traditional analogmechanization. Finally, the results of the survey analyzing this learning methodology will also bediscussed. This will go a long way in motivating engineering technology students to conductpotential future research, and reinforcing the best practices for life-long learning.BackgroundEngineering departments are often confronted with the necessity to update laboratory exercisesand equipment with the latest emerging technological trends within tight budget constraints.Another

setting [7]. A kernel tracing tool has beenused in explaining the concepts in the GNU/Linux Operating System. The target is not really anRTOS, however, the method reveals that understanding the internal mechanism is the key tounderstand any operating system [8]. A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10]. A commercial grade open sourceRTOS, FreeRTOS, was taught to show the deployment of RTOS. The emphasis was on using theFreeRTOS but not designing an RTOS [11]. The approach in [11] is a “top-down

The lab contains 22 desktop workstations. All workstations are updated Dell OptiPlex server with 2G RAM. There is also a server farm mounted on a computer rack with another 20 workstations, which is used in other courses. We utilize Virtual Machines (VMWare [6] and VirtualBox [8]) to set up a lab environment for students. Each of the 22 host machines runs VMWare Server, and students do all of their work in virtual machines. Figure 2 shows lab setup. There is a virtual test bed with

Inthis course, a sequence of well-prepared projects was assigned to students to cover various topicsto help student learning for enhancement of research skills (Luo, 2015). Behrouzi and Kuchmaaddressed an inquiry-based learning pedagogy used in a freshman civil and structuralengineering curriculum with an equipment-light laboratory course (Behrouzi and Kuchma, 2016).Active-based learning is a learning protocol, in which teaching strives to involve students in thelearning process more directly than in other methods (Luo, 2015).

isachievable with a bachelor’s degree is fueling student interest in computer science as a major.Students are highly motivated to learn as they enter their first programming course, CS1 [2]. Yet,the pass rate for CS1 courses has been reported to be as low as 67% [3]. Many possible reasonsfor high attrition have been proposed ranging from inadequate advising to poorly-designedactivities in CS1 laboratories to insufficient opportunities for meaningful practice with formativefeedback [4]. Increased student engagement in introductory programming courses may be oneroute to increasing retention in CS1 courses.Collaboration, gamification, and social interaction are considered to be three pedagogicalstrategies which aid in engaging students in learning

The current main input for the academic advising CI processis student evaluations and satisfaction surveys, feedback that advisors should definitely reviewdespite its documented shortfalls [20].Facilities: Facilities such as buildings, classrooms, and laboratories are the main locations wherethe education process takes place.
