graduating out of the major did not have necessaryexperience or knowledge in robotics. Using best practices in engineering education, the course transitioned from a lecturemodel to a project-based learning model that includes three blocks over a forty-lesson semester:block 1, introductory topics; block 2, robotics design and implementation; and block 3, mazecompetition. Each laboratory includes a brief fifteen-minute introduction to a fundamentalelectrical and computer engineering concept and 3.5-hours of hands-on application. For example,after learning how the average power of a system can be controlled via pulse-width modulation,students integrate motors into the robot and connect each motor to a modern measurement tool toobserve the

howeffectively the project helps students build critical systems-thinking skills, and the challenges ofadopting resources for fast-tracking the development of new laboratory projects.IntroductionThe notion of systems thinking is well-known, but views vary on its specific definition1,2. Forexample, the systems dynamics community emphasizes understanding the temporal dynamics ofinterconnected parts, including the effects of feedback and emergent behaviors, via conceptualand simulation models3. Others have emphasized design in a broader context, includingassessment of societal impacts and awareness of economic and societal goals4.In our practice-oriented view, systems thinking is already pervasive across engineeringdisciplines, highly valued in industry

for faculty collaboration designed tobroaden the use of innovative practices in engineering classrooms. A recentrecommendation from the Innovation with Impact report called for increasing facultyawareness about effective teaching innovations as well increasing engagement inengineering courses (Jamieson & Lohmann, 2012). The focus of this research study is onhow small, long-term faculty groups can be used as a model to encourage suchinnovations and improvements in teaching. In addition to developing a faculty teachingdevelopment process, the project also involves the creation of sharable resources forinnovative teaching. While there are many general resources for teaching, we seek tocreate resources specifically for electrical and computer

At that same time, a "flipped" approach does not decrease performance forthese outcomes either, suggesting it is a viable alternative to a traditional model.We now turn our attention to the impact of the flipped classroom on higher-order learningoutcomes. Our original hypothesis in designing our "flip" was increased class time and student-instructor interaction

In that lab, they were required to research four line coding schemes such as bipolarNRZ and differential Manchester, then implement each one as a masked subsystem in Simulinkusing any method of their choice.
