Theresults showed statistically higher average gains in the classes using active learning methods.Inspired by inductive teaching and active learning approaches, some textbooks started tointroduce fundamental topics by using cases/projects instead of focusing on the calculations inSTEM disciplines [12].Through our teaching experiences, we have also observed that students learn more effectivelywhen videos and in-class demonstrations are introduced as supplements to lecture notes,especially when software and hardware are used. For example, CENG342 Digital Systems is arequired course for

It is not uncommon for engineers to face the challenge ofworking with constantly changing teams, and as such it is important to understand membershipchange, its overarching effects on outcomes, and how to survive it.Membership change Promotions, selection, layoffs, retirement, role transitions, and absenteeism are just a fewreasons that members may be removed or added to a team7. More often than notmultidisciplinary teams are formed and employees need to be accustomed to working with newteam members who are brought on to a project. It is extremely important for teams to be able

applications of DSP that can helpcaptivate students and motivate them to learn the theoretical material. Perhaps the best way toexpose students to the applications of DSP is with a laboratory course, but at some institutions afull laboratory course in DSP is not feasible due to time, space, and funding constraints.Alternatives to laboratories include projects, simulations, and demonstrations. Although manyDSP algorithms can be demonstrated using offline (not real-time) processing, somedemonstrations are just more compelling if they operate in real-time. A real-time demonstrationwith audio signals, for example, can be more interesting because the user can use his/her ownvoice as the input and hear the results immediately.Many authors have explored

First, the engineering education reforming taking place in China will be described bylooking at Chinese current EE curriculum requirements. And then, the curricula, semesterarrangement, credit and degree systems are compared between Chinese and U.S. electricalengineering undergraduate programs. The emphasis on math, core EE subjects, project designand working experience in industry is stronger in Chinese EE programs comparing to that of U.S.universities. But the tendency of teaching as many core subject courses as possible has resultedin a complete neglect of computer aid and modern tool applications in the curriculum. Thesedifferences may have

This point is particularly relevant in thefield of electrical engineering, as students must master core concepts (e.g., Ohm’s law) such thatthey can apply them quickly and effortlessly in order to efficiently solve more advancedproblems. The present project pilot-tested a novel technique for encouraging frequent, fast-paced practice among students in the first circuits course. Nineteen undergraduate engineeringmajors (including civil, mechanical, environmental and electrical) participated in a face-to-facecourse in which traditional course activities (lectures, in-class discussion, exams) weresupplemented by three online homework modules.

As educators become more interestedin student-centered pedagogies, the question of which specific techniques are most effective isincreasingly important.Because active learning is still an emerging paradigm, the number of studies examining distinctapproaches is somewhat limited, and the difficulty of isolating those techniques in the classroomenvironment is a recognized concern. 1 In this paper, we wish to contribute to the growing pool
