several course-related, co-op, and extracurricular projects withundergraduates, including security [2, 3] and digital/computer hardware projects. In each project,the pedagogical outcomes are similar: 1. The student should learn a new technical concept or skill outside of their typical courses. 2. The student should practice independent research techniques, including task management, reading/writing academic papers, and self-guiding exploratory tasks. 3. The student should gain insight into graduate-level research and/or industry laboratories. 4. The student should advance their own (self-defined) career and educational goals.The past experiences of undergraduate research gave the faculty member a default structure toguide the student

Meetings with student teams and supervisors follow the PBL five main stepsadapted from the PBL handbook10.The 5 step cycle is illustrated in Figure 2. Each week, students meet with their respectivesupervisor for one hour in which an agenda is discussed. The agenda should contain topics thatthe students can obtain most guidance from their supervisor. In semester 1 and 2 of year 1, theproblems were defined and selected by the teacher. This

13.943.16ConclusionThe software tool was designed to help students in solving problems related to electric machinesand power systems. The information and data collected from the surveys were analyzed andused for the assessment and evaluation. Students have responded favorably to and expressedtheir satisfaction in the developed tool. I believe that the media based instructional tool offerssome advantages such as it is a completely learner-paced, it can be followed easily, it does notrequire a great deal of time or effort and the learner does not have to be at a specific time andplace to use it. In the course, Electric Machines and Power Systems, it is no longer necessary todevote additional classroom or laboratory time to provide and solve examples; students can

Based on the results from these pilot studies, a multi-year studywas implemented to investigate the use of online quizzing and incremental feedback to promotestudent self-directed learning and improve student confidence. This approach is not areplacement for, but instead a supplement to traditional assignments and projects.This paper describes the results of that multi-year study implemented in different types ofelectrical engineering courses. The purpose of the project and student outcomes aresummarized. The implementation differences and limitations for the different types of electricalengineering courses (theoretical, mathematical, laboratory) are discussed.

The new proposed course will be a 1-credithour laboratory-based course taken concurrently that will mimic the course taught at UniversidadT´ecnica Federico Santa Mar´ıa. First-year engineering students at Texas A&M University aregeneral engineering majors; they have not selected their major yet and will be a mix of differentdisciplines and backgrounds.The proposed course will follow the same methodology as the original course

workindividually or in self-selected pairs on a directed active learning assignment as faculty and labassistants employ a “teaching by walking around (TBWA)” philosophy. By implementingTBWA, faculty can interact with every student in the class in an informal manner as each student/ student-pair work at their own pace. Students receive individual attention and can receiveimmediate feedback as they work.During the ECE-322 annual continuous improvement cycle, it was suggested that the existingmixed-mode format and TBWA style could easily be adapted into a MOOC [6]. In turn, theMOOC could serve as an interactive textbook that integrates many components such as readings,video lectures, homework assignments, self-assessments, quizzes, laboratory projects, and

Thefirst weeks of the class were dedicated to teaching students the basics of real-time system andcustom hardware design. Students used a Zynq-based port of Free-RTOS to learn about Real-time operating systems. Through a series of laboratory assignments, students are taught how tointerface the RTOS with custom hardware that they place on the FPGA portion of the chip

Both courses use the same text3, but they are not jointlyoffered, primarily due to their large enrollments of 200 and 120 students per semesterrespectively. In both courses, students attend three hours of class every week; two hour-longlectures are taught by faculty and one hour-long recitation is taught by graduate teachingassistants.

The original goal was for teamsto learn teamwork and the importance of deadlines by completing the design in consecutivestages. For example, the Simulation team begins work and finishes simulating the project at thebeginning of the second week of class. The Simulation team then passes their schematic file tothe CAD team who lays out the board and then passes a file to the PCB Fabrication team. For allsix teams, including professional fabrication of printed circuit boards and error checking, theprocess of completing Project #1 follows the flowchart shown in Figure 2
