first opportunity andstick with it for the remainder of the semester: no students in the experimental group swappedbetween the alternate and traditional labs between weeks. The students that chose to pursue thealternate lab project tended to be more creative or motivated than those that chose the traditionalproject. We believe this is due to the fact that the alternate lab took student agency further byencouraging students to create original ideas, songs, and images for their simple video games,with no two final projects ending with the same game or theme.Many student groups settled on the long-standing traditional project as a default, rather than ac-tively choosing the alternative. Students that chose the traditional lab cited a professional

Student feedback on the lab experience in these two courses has been positive and ispresented.IntroductionThe University of Minnesota (UMN) was the lead institution that was awarded a Department ofEnergy (DOE) grant1 over the 2010-2013 period to create “A nationwide consortium ofuniversities to revitalize electric power engineering education by state-of-the-art laboratories.”The consortium consisted of 82 universities that used UMN developed laboratory hardware andsoftware resources to

The samesemester, the lead author designed a quasi-experimental study for testing this hypothesis.Another instructor of this course agreed on using his two sections as a control group.Instead of using traditional instruction, the lead author implemented PI in his section, and itwas used as the experimental group. The translated DIRECT test was applied to bothgroups before and after the topic of DC circuits analysis was covered.

This technology has significantly improved online, distance, collaborativelearning, as well as the use of the virtual experiments and simulations in engineeringeducation. One of the distinguishing features of engineering education is that the laboratorywork is an integral part and its
readability, employs a minimum of multi-statementmacros, while making extensive use of simple macros: #define LED1 (_LATB13) allows clearstatements such as LED = 1, which turns an LED on.4.3 SimplicityMany libraries encourage extensive use of multi-threaded programming. Traditionally, themain() function performs foreground processing, while interrupt service routines (ISRs) handledevice I/O. Even worse, traditional approaches to RTOS rely on multiple threads that interact viasemaphores. This approach leads to complex, difficult to debug designs with subtle problems,including livelock, deadlock, starvation, and data corruption when shared variables are not ac-cessed properly. Regardless of these perils, many courses expect students to successfully
