This setup also acted as thestarting point for the proposed continuous assessment method.The proposed continuous assessment methodThe continuous assessment method discussed in this paper was adopted to the course to providea new teaching tool for the online implementation of the course. The method was designed tohelp the distance students to be more engaged in the course compared to the previous format ofthe course, which consisted of classroom lectures and a final exam.Compared with conventional textbooks and equivalent teaching material, the high level of detailin research articles in the field of power electronics and the

Thus the data from year 2015 should be looked together with the data from year 2016.The overall retention rate (from freshmen to senior) has thus risen to be on par with the nationalaverage for engineering majors.ConclusionsEarly results from retention data and graduation rates have shown that reorganizing first-yearengineering students’ experience and redesigning the first-year introduction to engineeringcourse have had a positive impact on our students’ attitude toward the engineering discipline.Students had more fun with the

We have observedthat research and development projects which can provide sufficient funding for students extra-curricularly (undergraduate and graduate) offer a best way forward to provide the sophisticatedresults that many project sponsors expect. Having students continue the momentum developed intheir semester class project-based learning experiences in clinic often results in a correspondingstep increase in their productivity when the summer project begins. The EAP team accomplisheda significant amount of work as measured by the number of chapters, appendices and referencescompleted, and the responses of the sponsor during regular project reviews.References[1] State of New Jersey, Energy Assurance Plan, NJ Board of Public, Division of

Severalfaculty committees and course instructors have specific responsibilities for student outcomesassessment. The revised process takes a multilevel approach that leverages existing assessmenttools and best practices. The multilevel approach supports efficient data collection while alsoproviding sufficient data to make decisions. This paper describes the process

So, addressing misconceptions in math and physics will have thehighest-yield toward mitigating misconceptions in other categories. The physics misconceptioncategory contains the most misconceptions found by researchers, as well as, the most number ofarticles (tied with application of Ohm's Law) citing physics misconceptions. So, specificallyfocusing on physics misconceptions may yield the best results.Within physics, the term confusion misconception had the most number of instances, such

with these courses is highly theoretical and instructors areconfronted with many of the same educational hurdles as in a microelectronics course. Suchmath-intensive courses would benefit greatly by incorporating many of the widely availablemodel-based simulation tools (e.g., Matlab's Simulink) that can be used to simulate continuous-time and discrete-time systems. Therefore, the use of simulation tools for reflection is notlimited to the case study presented in this paper. Rather, this method can be used in other ECEcourses as well as in other engineering disciplines that rely on simulation.ReferencesAdams, R., Turns, J., & Atman, C. (2003).
