For instance, the device could be used as a multimeter, scope or a controller (using the digital I/O in conjunction with the analog I/O); providing a highly useful project tool (signal processor/controller) for any individual studying to become a scientist or engineer.EVALUATION The following research questions are currently being tested and evaluated in diversesituations in the Circuits (for majors), and Electronics & Instrumentation (for non-majors) coursesat each of the partnering schools to study the resulting impact on student

It is obvious that students need to maintain positive interdependence15,16: studentsneed to rely on each other to complete the project and nobody can do this alone. This teachesthem the necessity of being a team player and the needs to keep learning from colleagues in theirfuture careers. If students know they are going to be held individually accountable, they wouldmake a serious effort to learn and contribute.As instructors, we have attempted to integrate an assessment driven learning approach to ensurestudents’ progress. Assessment is built into the lab execution. For example, with the assistance ofGTAs, students in a team are randomly picked to report progress, and explain design choices anddecisions

Electrical and Computer EngineeringIn planning how the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) would meet therequirements of the University-wide, quality enhancement program (QEP), there was unanimousagreement that critical thinking is an important requirement to be successful within the electricalengineering profession. In an effort to help students become better critical thinkers andappreciate the importance of its practice throughout their education and careers, critical thinkingand engineering reasoning was implemented in several key courses throughout the ECEcurriculum. At the current time critical thinking instruction is formally incorporated into onesophomore level course, one junior level course, and two senior level courses

2-level outcome and assessment metrics mapping supports precisely the kind of outcome-achievement analysis that ABETdesires. Accordingly, and perhaps because this methodology is easy to explain and interpret, we have achieved 100% compliance withour undergraduate teaching faculty.ABET requires many criteria be met for accreditation. Criterion 2 lists Program Educational Objectives that graduates are expected tofulfill during their professional careers. For example in computer science, Criterion 2.3 asks whether “Graduates have followed acareer path for which they have been trained either through suitable employment or graduate studies.” Alumni surveys are the standardway to get answers.

Rudimentary coverage of mechanical systems, electric circuits, fluidmechanics, thermodynamics, and statistics was provided. Other subjects included someprinciples of design, engineering economics, ethics, and a very short MATLAB tutorial.

EvaluationOur expectation is that students who attend iMPaCT will have:  Increased competency and confidence at ―computational thinking tasks‖ including programming and math concepts.  Relevant experiences applying math applied towards problems that include computational thinking early enough to affect choices regarding academic major and career.  Greater success in subsequent coursework that includes mathematics or quantitative reasoning.There is a growing body of evidence that these expectations are being met.

Furthermore, exposure to SDRis increasingly important for students wishing to pursue careers in the telecommunication,networking, and radar fields. An undergraduate laboratory can be outfitted with relatively high-performance SDRs at a reasonable cost.It was recently discovered that USB digital television tuners can be used as SDR receivers.Since this discovery, the tuners have been successfully used in a wide variety of applications. Ata cost less than $20 (USD), these so-called “RTL-SDR” devices set a new price point for SDRtechnology that is particularly attractive within an educational context.This paper presents the use of these low-cost SDRs

The instructors are senior PhD students, manyof whom are interested in academic careers. A survey of the instructors showed a largeinconsistency in coverage, upwards of 20% mismatch in topics between sections. High levels ofinconsistency across multiple sections of a course is not unusual even among experiencedinstructors when the syllabus is considered to be “packed with material.” Blending the coursewith all course lectures online and common homework and exams across all sections removesmost of the inconsistency across

The last option will be harder to implement at our program, as it wouldrequire elimination of another core course in the existing curriculum. We believe that parallelismand concurrency are fundamental topics in computer engineering and should permeate thecurriculum. By adding the concepts slowly as modules to existing courses, we hope to encourageand motivate more students to pursue parallel and distributive computing in the senior level andchoose it as a future career.
