ECE 120 is also augmented by ahardware lab component consisting of the design and construction of several discrete logic basedcircuits. The next course in the sequence, ECE 220, focuses on LC-3 assembly and Cprogramming, fundamental data structures and algorithms. ECE 220 has a laboratory componentas well, in the form of software lab assignments. The final course in the sequence, ECE 385,consists of a series of hardware design challenges on various digital logic topics, followed by afinal project of the students’ own choosing involving digital logic. These design challenge span arange of technologies, from discrete logic in the

Thelaboratory was assigned to students taking “Advanced Digital Design” as one of theirterm projects. The “Advanced Digital Design” course covers VHDL [2], digital systemdesign using micro-architectural modeling techniques, and advanced topics in logicoptimization. The main objective of the course was to train students the capability ofperforming system-level design. The knowledge of scheduling was introduced for thepurpose of

experiential learning. This can beas complicated as laboratory experiences or projects, or as simple as providing students an activerole in lecture. To facilitate student involvement in a lecture format, students must be prepared tocontribute to the discussion of new material.One common model for experiential learning is the Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle [1,2], whichhas four steps: 1. Introduction of new experience, 2. Reflection on this experience, 3. Abstractionof this experience, and 4. Application of this experience. An essential component of this cycle isallowing students the time to reflect on new experiences. If students are introduced to a new topicduring lecture, little reflection can take place prior to abstraction or application of that

In a qualitative survey conductedby the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) to help assess the impact of thepandemic on the engineering education community [1], respondents overwhelmingly consideredthe loss of lab-based, hands-on instruction to be the leading problem faced by engineeringeducators. Approximately 120 out of 207 responses included the terms “hands-on,” “lab” or“laboratories,” or both, and another 20 mentioned “team,” referring to activities and projects.

This outcome was evaluated by comparing scores on common exams. Another goalwas to accommodate a wider diversity of learning styles by offering students a choice betweenalternate course formats / based on the premise that being required to make a choice forcesstudents to think about how they learn and the environment in which they

Of course, the academic teachers need to be ever vigilant toguard academic integrity without appearing to be constantly suspecting their students.The formulation of assessment tasks has a major significance in encountering plagiarism. It hasbeen variously observed that the students could be driven toward plagiarism if they perceive theirtask to have been reduced to mere compilation of facts, statistics and pretty pictures to satisfy theassessment criteria for a poorly set task. McKenzie8 observes that “it is reckless and irresponsibleto continue requiring topical “go find out about” research projects in this new electronic context.To do so extends an invitation (perhaps even a demand) to “binge” on information
