greater depth as aresult of the project.Problem & Approach TakenMany times students do not clearly understand the need for basic STEM (Science, Technology,Engineering, Mathematics) material. Courses in the early part of their educational experiencepresent the necessary prerequisite material for upper level courses. However, the students neverrealize the importance of this material since it is taught without any real-world, practicalapplication. Thus, the student has no initiative to retain the material and try to integrate it intotheir knowledge database. The cartoon in Figure 1 is a common theme heard time and timeagain by just about every professor in regards to STEM material

At the end of fall 2007, asurvey was conducted among the students to assess these five experiments. The assessmentresults are presented in this paper.Introduction“Microprocessor Systems and Interfacing” is a core subject in both Electrical and ComputerEngineering curricula. Since there is large variety of microprocessors, an engineering programhas to pick the ones that benefit students the most in their future career. With the rapid changesin microprocessor technology, laboratory courses associated with this topic have to becontinuously kept up-to-date.

of “wake-up word”recognition technology. This tool thus has made research process much more efficient, accurate,and productive.IntroductionThe primary objective of presented work was to develop a speech recognition engine - analysisand testing environment in MATLAB. The problem encountered when working with speechrecognition projects is the fact that the processed data comes in the form of a large collection ofvectors (e.g., matrix) that typically represent energies of a speech sounds at various frequencybands [1]. Developed testing utility is extremely useful because it provides visual representationof various complex parameters represented as patters, vectors or scalars extracted from time-dependent speech signal.
