They also work inteams in the laboratory components of several earlier courses, but there is little formal instructiontherein on how to conduct good team work. If some of those ideas were learned early in theprogram, they could be used in any number of courses throughout the program, thereby enablingstudents to enter the senior design sequence with strong team skills and thus able to

This includes taking into account the HI and SIratings, ease-of-implementation (EI), and how well they are aligned with the nature of the problem-solving application.

value of writing as a tool for uncovering a student’s misconceptionshas been noted in other disciplines such as the medical field [21]. Unfortunately, grading andproviding feedback to students on their written work is time consuming. This burden on instructortime may be a factor why, beyond common written works such as laboratory reports, courses suchas electric circuit analysis or statics and dynamics are almost exclusively computation based. Theauthors of this paper do not suggest eliminating computation problems in gateway STEM courses,but rather to complement such problems with conceptual writing exercises as such exercises maybe the key to effecting conceptual change particularly in the case of robust misconceptions.The remainder of this

Prior to the shutdown, video conferencing was generally used only for meetings and typically only on rare occasions. Only one program (MS Data Science) had taught classes in remote mode using Webex.  Class meetings: Although some faculty held classes synchronously, some opted for asynchronous pre-recorded videos, and a few faculty used an intentional flipped course approach. Some faculty also relied upon publicly available (e.g., YouTube) videos.  Labs: In the absence of any physical laboratory experiment set ups, many faculty opted to emphasize simulation and analysis of data

Next, in order to reducethe implementation costs we decided to use as much devices and systems that we already hadavailable in our labs, such as sensors, electronic devices, laptops, microcontroller cards anddebugging, simulators, programming, and analysis

Tomake programming less abstract and to establish a real-life connection, we use MATLAB forinterfacing with a data acquisition device called LabJack. Students use MATLAB’s integrateddevelopment environment to write scripts that control the LabJack.This environment has enabled students to participate in some interesting hands-on projects thatcombine problem-solving, programming, and interfacing. Early on, student participation in theECE 102 course consisted of attending lectures, three laboratory exercises related to LabJack andMATLAB interfacing, and participation in

The decision to use a desk lamp was chosen basedon several criteria: • The device’s use and utility should be obvious to most any user; avoid devices requiring substantial domain knowledge (e.g., motor control), particularly since the target audience of students is broad (EE, CE, CS) • The device should have some state to manage, but that state should not be overly complicated • The device should be easily portable, so students can develop and use it in the classroom, home, dorm room, laboratory, or wherever they
