Additionally, project-based courses require a great deal of out-of-class team meeting time, often late at night. • A Shortage of Hands-on Exploration: Pre-exposure to technical concepts is far less uniform among students from increasingly diverse educational and cultural backgrounds than it was a decade ago. Gone are the days when the majority of STEM-inclined students Page 12.861.3 were ham radio operators, played with Erector/LEGO sets and had tinkered extensively

There are also courses at the other end of the spectrum that focus on thelow-level development of microcontroller firmware and how microcontrollers interface withindividual sensors, actuators, and other devices. Due to the detailed nature of the material, it canbe challenging to present these topics and labs within the context of an overarching project whilestill limiting the scope to fit within a single term.Pinball machines integrate many core topics of electrical engineering, computer engineering,mechanical engineering, and computer science in

It used to be a traditional lecture-basedcourse with an emphasis on technical aspects of design and engineering. However, after thechange it became an activity driven, student-centric class with focus on active learning to engagestudents. Students now work on several team-based projects during the semester, which allowsvarious aspects of engineering - problem solving, design, engineering standards, and socialconsiderations - to be grasped in the process. Throughout the semester, there are several designcompetitions that draw spectators from all disciplines. These competitions teach studentssomething beyond the

A summer camp for high school students, designed toincrease interest in STEM, was hosted at the University Oklahoma during the summer of 2013.Amongst the many engineering-focused projects available for the students to complete was theCapacitive Touch Sensor Workshop, which was created by the ECE department. During thisproject, students constructed a functional touch keypad using only an Arduino and householdsupplies, such as cardboard, aluminum foil, and tape. At the conclusion of the project, studentswere able to take their completed keypads home along with a flash drive that included all of thesoftware and information they would need to improve or modify their device.

The selection should consider not only what microcontrollers are currently popular, butalso the ease of project development using the system, the availability of support to students, thecosts of starting up a lab, and the flexibility of the platform to fit into a course with multipleobjectives. This paper reports on using Cypress Semiconductor’s Programmable System on aChip (PSoC) as the basis for a microcontroller systems design course. The experience ofselecting the PSoC, designing a curriculum around it, designing laboratory exercises andmanaging the course are described.

The course sequence represents theculmination of the students’ undergraduate engineering training and education. Student teamsinterested in the power engineering field have the opportunity to select a design project thatcomplements their interest in the energy sector. For example, last year eight students from theelectrical and mechanical specialties investigated the CSM campus energy needs for the year2020 and beyond. Working closely with the campus architect, CSM plant facilities, XcelEnergy, NREL, and the group of power faculty, the students developed a detailed technicalengineering study focusing on the reliability and sustainability

In addition, most courses have requiredsignificant design projects. Distance students to date have completed their labs at their localtwo-year school instead of traveling across the state to main campus. Lab instructors have beenhired to provide equipment and lab support for these courses. This lab approach with an on-sitelab instructor has been serviceable for “cookbook” type laboratories, where all the instructionsare provided, and low-level design projects.Alternative approaches have been investigated for use with

advantage of this approach is that the students havea prior context to build upon. They can see how state-of-the art microelectronic circuits arecurrently designed while comparing and contrasting it with the paradigmatic shift offered bynanoelectronic devices. This juxtaposition of technologies is appropriate since a number ofproposed nanoelectronic circuits are built upon similar principles and topologies used in currentmicroelectronic technologies.

bulk of the criticism centers around engineering programs not adapting to the skills that students will require when entering the workforce in a globalized economy [3][4][5]. Studies have shown that engineers in the 21st century will not work in isolation focusing only on the technical feasibility and implementation of a project, but instead will be part of large, interdisciplinary teams that are concerned with the technical specifications of a product, but also in its marketability and societal implications [6][7]. In short, engineers need to have increased communication skills and a much more entrepreneurial spirit. To address these issues, the EE program has an intense laboratory component in
