It also sets the stage for how we establish the reporting structure as well as the self- and peer evaluations. 4.

, resulted in a higher grade (maximum of 79).Students were then asked to share how they came to the new/correct answers, whether fromwebsites, videos, peers, or other resources. These resources were not factored into the grade butwere used to help guide that student and the entire class to useful resources. If a student wereusing potentially incorrect or weaker sources, the instructor corrected it. If the sources werestrong, they could be shared with other students to help the entire class build a database of usefulresources.A similar, but separate retake policy was also implemented in a junior-level Signals & Systemscourse, where students were able to retake examinations, in order to improve their grade andbetter understand the material.

It is vitally important that every ECE student be able to solder,build circuits, and write basic programs as early as possible in their curriculum. There was also asignificant reduction in the amount of documents that the students had to submit. This wasnecessary due to the higher level of difficulty required to complete the projects.Quantitative ResultsThe quantitative results were obtained by evaluating the individual and team assignments as wellas the final course grades for the original course during the Fall 2014 and Winter 2014 quartersand the enhanced course during

Finally, thirteen percent (13%) of interviewees stated each of thefollowing as positive aspects of this teaching approach: 1) promotion of liveliness, engagement, orattentiveness during class, and 2) repetition or reinforcement of material, sometimes aiding memory orleading to clarification of difficult material. These results are in line with the significant difference in thelab report scores in the two classes. With more communication and interactivity, students were able to askspecific questions, communicate their interpretations, and receive feedback from instructor and peers. Thislikely helped them to write clear explanations and discussions of their results in the lab report. Table 4: Summary of Interview Responses

The poster session also allowed an opportunity for the underclassmen to seethe exciting work done at the senior level, and to provide motivation for them to begin thinkingof their own future projects. The poster session gradually grew into a more formal presentationused for assessment when the working engineers began participating in the session.Present Structure of the Senior ProjectThis section details the three course structure of the capstone sequence at the University ofEvansville mentioned earlier.

This lab exposedstudents to the process of writing computer programs, downloading to hardware, running andtesting that hardware.

Oneconsensus resulting from this research is the importance of the First-Year EngineeringExperience (FYEE) 7. These FYEE programs have been proven to improve retention in a varietyof universities. Common themes are building student community, a hands on teaching style, andfaculty interaction.A popular approach to the first-year experience has been to develop a first-year engineeringcourse with a focus on activities to improve retention instead of exclusively on technical content.These course are becoming

Conventionally, the majority of engineering courses revolvearound the analytical analysis of real world problems and challenges; however, there is a need toaddress certain aspects of real world problem-solving that extends beyond what is covered withintraditional written analysis based courses. The ENGR460 class has created an alternate approachto develop such skills, by creating a challenging and motivating learning environment.The first half of the course consists of lectures covering basic microcontroller functions andsensors, with corresponding labs each week. Examples of sensors that students explored in thelab include ultrasonic rangefinder, RFID reader, and accelerometer
