The project advances a process which willcreate a sustainable “HBCU Engineering Network” that is focused on the development,implementation, and expansion of an Experimental Centric-based instructional pedagogy inengineering curricula used in these HBCUs.The goal of the project was to increase the number of highly qualified and prepared AfricanAmerican engineers, and all students, to have a better understanding of technology and its role inSTEM education and the policy associated with it. Another key goal for the grant is to promotewide spread dissemination of portable hands-on mobile devices through proactive collaborationbetween educational institutions and industry partners.

The ultimate goal of thisdesign course is to bring together seniors in electrical engineering, and industrial designengineers with a focus on mixed signal testing of discrete components in themicroelectronics area. The lecture will cover the following topics: modern analog andmixed signal technologies, an introduction to test electrical characteristics of integratedcircuits (IC) and devices incorporating both digital and analog functions; the laboratorywill give the students an opportunity to test a variety of circuits for AC and DC

used to achieve suchobjectives. Currently, instructors are employing multiple laboratory methods to integrate handson learning into engineering courses. One of the methods commonly used involves preparing alab manual, also known as a “cookbook”, which includes step-by-step instructions for students tofollow. The cookbook method reduces the time required to perform an experiment and istypically less demanding. As a result, students are able to perform more experiments over thecourse of a semester. On the other hand, the cookbook method lacks self-directed learningopportunities as the problems students face in this method are not open-ended. A more stimulating option often preferred by instructors is the design-based approach.This

Studentsdiscussed how they struggled to see design thinking as a means to identifying as an engineerbecause, in their experiences, design thinking had not been clearly connected to otherengineering elements and creating creative real-world solutions. One student believed that thenewly integrated design thinking elements were “distracting” to the current curriculum: The reason why I so strongly feel that the design thinking component is distracting, from the lab or the course, is because everything that helped me grow as an engineer was already in place and

Upon placement of the fan blade on the motor(M1), and closure of the slide switch (S1), the fan spins and the lamp (L1) turns on. The light helpsprotect the motor from getting the full voltage when the slide switch is closed. A part of the voltagefrom the battery source drops across the lamp and the rest drops across the motor. The participantsremove the fan and notice how the lamp gets dimmer when the motor does not have to spin the fanblade. The parallel circuit using the lamp and fan is shown in Figure 14. In this connection, the lampdoes not change the current to the motor (M1). The motor starts a little faster than in the

this is typically done through grading after they submit their lab reports. • Students are not given an opportunity to fail. If we want them to be creative and try out Page 23.198.3 different solutions then failure should be allowed and not be disproportionately penalized. • In general, we felt that over the years we have erected artificial barriers between lecture and lab, while in reality we should strive to integrate the labs and lectures. • Many of our past labs were hands-on in the name only.

not combined intoa single department that shared some courses, it is likely that the first programming courses incomputer science would use Java.Another major change in the computer science curriculum consists of the way in which thetechnical electives are structured and chosen. Upper level electives in the computer scienceprogram are structured such that they are open to both computer science students and tocomputer engineering students. This means that in general, the only prerequisite for thesecourses is the data structures course. In terms of which courses are offered, for example, itmeans that an advanced version of object oriented programming will probably not be offeredunless there is great enrollment in computer science since there is

Student teams are responsible for the design decisions of theirassigned component, as well as ensuring that components are compatible for use in the larger,class-wide system. Other highlights of the PLP system are: a „hands-on‟ experience with realhardware early in the computer engineering curriculum, low overall cost for students andinstitutions, and cross-course application of concepts. The latter is of great importance sincestudents often fail to see how concepts learned in one course apply to another.With an overarching system like PLP, where different aspects of

Although the intention behind the separation of domains was to facilitate abetter understanding of the learning process, an unfortunate consequence was that most of thework in curriculum development has taken place exclusively in the cognitive domain, except forsome compelling research support for the inseparability of the domains, especially betweencognitive and affective components [9]. The body of knowledge related to neuroscience,cognitive science, the social and behavioral sciences, and psychology shows that emotion andcognition interact to facilitate focused attention and decision making [10] [11] [12] and thatcognitive knowledge directs the execution of our movements or performances (motor-skills), andvice versa [12].
