undergraduate computer engineering students is not at all clear.This is in part due to the nature of the discipline, which has continually changing technology andorganization. In this paper, we describe a project-based computer engineering curriculum, whichcomplements more traditional lectures and laboratory courses. We compare this curriculum withcurricula from other small universities in the US. We show how our curriculum is in agreementwith a mixed-mode approach that combines projects with traditional techniques. An assessmentof student outcomes is presented and successes and limitations are discussed.Critical issues in engineering educationIn 2003, Mills and Treagust2 summarized the critical issues in engineering education asidentified by

methods improves theresults.To date, the instructional approaches described above have been used only by one instructor.Our plan for broader implementation is to incorporate these approaches into an interactivecomputer-based tutorial, so that other instructors can easily assign such work without having toheavily revise their lecture approaches. The interactive tutorial could incorporate simulated or“virtual” laboratory experiments, where students could gain “hands-on” experience related to theideas we are presenting. This tutorial will be incorporated into our existing Circuit Tutorsoftware package,13-15 which we plan to distribute through a textbook publisher at some point toensure its sustainability.6.

Inaddition, graduate students involved in the project are expected to monitor each student’sperformance and progress in the laboratory setting. Ideally, concerns are addressed early, and thestudent is mentored to overcome weaknesses or deficiencies in regards to research. The facultymentor is expected to provide constructive criticism to the students to help them gain the mostfrom the summer program.Assessment:The program was assessed in a number of ways.

However, in theauthor’s opinion this “waiting period” between the time the knowledge is acquired andthe time it is applied through hands-on activities in unnecessary and may negativelyaffect student learning. Students are more likely to understand and retain the theory if it isillustrated with immediate hands-on experiments. In the course described here, studentswere given the chance to practice the theory at the same time as they were learning it.The remainder of the paper is organized as follows. The context of the DIP course is

ConclusionThe amount of formative feedback provided by students as they reflected on their flippedlearning experience has provided formative data for the professors as they work to improve theECE1250 class as well as provided students with deeper insights into their own learningprocesses that helped them in this class and which they can take forward with them into futurecourses.

The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

There are three general reasons to assess any project or program- to improve theprogram or project; to inform stakeholders whether the program, or project, is achieving it’sgoals; or to prove a program, or project is meeting, or has met its intended goals. [6]Traditionally, the evaluation in EELC is done via different tools. For the material at hand theevaluation has been done by homework, quizzes, tests, and laboratory reports. In addition tothat, one-on-one interviews are conducted, with each student, twice during the term and wouldidentify weakness and strengths for each student. The interview
