The project-based learning experience isaimed to provide a multidisciplinary environment to design the hardware and softwarecomponents of a system while industrial and manufacturing engineering students fabricate andassemble the boards. This experience in the undergraduate computer engineering curriculumwill better prepare students to enter the workforce after obtaining a four-year degree and to bettermeet their employers’ expectations. Page 13.551.3To support this plan we have partnered with Allan Hancock Community College to develop alower-division curriculum module to make Printed Circuit Board (PCB) design

We plan to use the lessons learned from the project-based approach to improve thehands-on section of the course in future semesters. We trust our study will be beneficial toinstructors, who are teaching an electrical circuits course and are interested in bringing thelaboratory to a large classroom.I. Background Electrical Circuits is a required course for most undergraduate engineering major students.This course is often taught in a traditional lecture-based approach, which makes studentengagement difficult.

studentlearning outcomes were embedded to satisfy both accreditation criteria. Furthermore, astandardized set of artifacts and rubrics were also developed to measure each skill category basedon a given set of performance indicators. Data collected at the sophomore, junior and seniorlevels were recorded using a unified set of tables showing all the pertinent information needed toperform standard statistical analysis and to generate graphical presentation of the studentperformance at each level. For every outcome not meeting its benchmark, action plans weredevised to address the shortcomings and close the loop on the assessment process. This novelapproach was pilot tested this year for SACS and ABETS accreditations and has proved to besimpler and more

Furthermore, a set of rubrics is used for each PI so that the raters employconsistent criteria when an article from the same student is being evaluated. Action itemsgenerated from different raters are then summarized as a report and feedback to the programdirector or chair to take corrective actions for improvement. The program director or chair maythen choose to disseminate or generate sub-action items for faculty to act on or to change thecurriculum as a result.
