Weekly homeworkassignments were comprised of two different question sets. The first set focused on the basicunderstanding and application of concepts covered in class while the second set posed morechallenging concept integration questions. Often, the second question set was framed aroundconsumer and industrial applications in an attempt to engage students with the relevance of thematerial. Similarly, the

These are the additional outcomes that can beachieved through custom design. Soldering skills are another additional outcome. Using a custom board designed for studentsto assemble in lab provides an extended period of time to improve surface mount and throughhole soldering skills. It is still possible to integrate soldering into a course using a commercialPLD board by giving students an add-on board to assemble. This may be a convenient alterna-tive to achieve the same goal. The impacts of soldering and assembly on time and quality withcustom boards is discussed in

The two courses are the only two project-based courses oncutting-edge computer technologies in our curriculum. These courses provided students with theopportunities to learn and practice real-world software engineering, and gain experiences insolving multidisciplinary practical problems. Furthermore, these courses help students to attainseveral ABET student outcomes that are difficult to accomplish via traditional lecture-based andlab-based courses, such as (f) an understanding of professional and ethical responsibility, (i) arecognition of the need for, and an ability to engage in life-long learning, and (j) a knowledge ofcontemporary issues.These

While the currentpandemic-induced remote education situation will not endure indefinitely, we believe that theseeducational materials and approach may be useful for remote instruction during “snow days” andwill also provide an ongoing opportunity to offer EE-centric STEM outreach to high schoolstudents in remote and rural areas who are often left out of university-based STEM outreachevents and the many STEM events

An even more important distinction is the emphasis ona more complete and integrated Experimental Centric Pedagogy (ECP) than has been the case inElectronic Instrumentation (EI). Essentially every concept is first introduced through anexperiment (experiment first) which requires that a substantial fraction of time spent in and outof class is dedicated to enhancing the students skills as electronics experimenters.

Thus, the majority of persons with the requisite knowledge and interest will be ECE MSand PhD graduates. While many ECE graduate level students are strong coders, softwaredevelopment skills are not the primary focus of traditional ECE programs, at least whencompared to that of a typical Computer Science (CS) curriculum.
