For hardware lab 4, the designproject, face-to-face students have to demonstrate their project in front of a teaching assistant,while online students only submit the lab report with pictures of circuit set up, but with detailedtest plan and test results as their proof of task completion.Only one exam is implemented in the online version due to the condensed schedule.

The final project involved the creation of a LEGO® robotto satisfy a Product Design Specification (PDS). The solution to the design project was presentedduring an end of quarter competition. Some of the course objectives were improving creativity,preparing team documents such as agendas, minutes, memos, making team decisions, organizingand managing a project, preparing a professional development plan, demonstrating ethicalbehavior, and presenting technical oral and written work.

The JEP in EEE has an enrolment of 600 students in the first threeyears of the four year undergraduate programme with a planned enrolment of 960 studentsin steady-state. As part of its mission, the Glasgow College, UESTC has organized severalsummer overseas immersion programmes (OIP) to enable all students in the programme tohave an international experience prior to graduation.

approach is not an attempt to abandon the traditional ControlSystems textbooks. Instead they aim to foster a stronger engagement and interest from studentsbefore facing complicated concepts in control systems. Presenting a less aggressive introduction,rather than going straight to formulas and long enunciates, may make students more comfortablewith Control Systems, promoting more self-motivation that can positively affect students’academic achievements.Results of a questionnaire at Florida Atlantic University have shown that students, who wereexposed to the new way of introducing Control Systems concepts, support a more nontraditionalapproach to teaching. We plan to further assess the educational value of the puzzles as related toControl Systems

Likewise, Ambrose has called forengineering curricula with “opportunities for reflection to connect thinking and doing,” and the“development of students’ metacognitive abilities to foster self-directed, lifelong learning skills.”(Ambrose, 2013, p. 16-17). Ambrose highlights a gap in the formal inclusion of metacognitiveactivity in the engineering curriculum (Ambrose, 2013). Regular reflection plays a critical rolein the construction of metacognitive knowledge and self-regulatory skills – or planning for,monitoring, and evaluating one’s own learning, knowledge, and skills (Schraw, 1998; Steiner &Foote, 2017). Metacognition is “knowing about

Students are able to log in remotely atnight to lab PCs that have the software on them to develop and test code (using the emulator).As only one student can use a PC at a time, there must be time-sharing and such etiquette asbeing patient with each other when one is on a machine that someone else wants to use, notlocking up the PC under his/her name, remembering to log off

However observations based on theauthors’ experiences from teaching the course in fall 2013 and feedback from students, suggestthat improvements can be made. The following changes are planned for the spring 2014offering of the course. Additional changes will be made for 2014-2015 offerings if deemednecessary from experience gained in the spring. The latest results and plans will be reported atthe conference in June. 1. Articulate more clearly the purpose and scope of the semester-long design project 2.

For example, insome sections, going to the board during class to work out problems as a team is enjoyed, whileothers abhor it and would prefer to carry their work away with them after class. The instructorhas to read the class, then modify the lesson plan to better fit the learning style of the section.To address this issue at the course level, the instructor had many tools at his/her diposal to makethe class more interesting and to actively engage the student.

Some key aspects of PLD development board selection covered in this paper include thefollowing. • Contribution to student learning outcomes – Does the board contain all the components needed to complete the laboratory assignments? • PLD vendor – Does one want to use Xilinx with ISE/Vivado, or Intel PSG with Quartus? • Existing materials available – Are there existing lesson plans or laboratory assignments available? • Cost – How cost sensitive? Is this something purchased by the department or students? • Time – How much time is traded

Itshould be noted that for many students, it is their first time using this equipment. The typical oncampus course has many teaching assistants to assist students, but we frequently found thatstudents would not contact online teaching staff for assistance for the laboratory portion.A point of concern that some faculty may have is the use of a virtual oscilloscope and functiongenerator.
