Page 26.121.1 c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 A systematic review of undergraduate engineering students’ perception of the types of activities used to teach electric circuitsIntroduction Traditionally, the design of electrical circuits courses is a lecture format during whichconcepts are introduced and sample problems solved [1], [2]. This lecture approach is oftendiscussed and preferred by engineering professors as the most effective approach to cover vastamounts of content within the time period slotted for the class [3], [4]. An advantage of the use oflecturing is the opportunity to disseminate a great deal of information in a short period of time.However

ImpactFrom the administrative side, WeBWorK uses resources efficiently. WeBWorK implementationrequires modest physical resources, and it is relatively simple to keep up to date over time. Onceproblem sets are implemented, it is easy to use them 1) between different sections of a course, 2)with different teachers, 3) for an indefinite period of time, 4) even with changes in textbooks.That is, once problem sets are created, it is not necessary to update the sets from one term or yearto the next or when a publishing company releases a new edition of a textbook. Instructors alsohave the flexibility to change textbooks entirely without the need to entirely recreate theircourse's homework sets. In this situation, usually only a reordering or regrouping of

c American Society for Engineering Education, 2015 A Hybrid Approach to a Flipped Classroom for an Introductory Circuits Course for all Engineering MajorsAbstract:The use of technology that allows students to view lectures or concept modules outside theclassroom has become popular in recent years. The most straightforward and accepted definitionof a flipped-classroom was given by Lage, Platt, and Treglia “Inverting the classroom means thatevents that have traditionally taken place inside the classroom now take place outside theclassroom and vice versa”1. While many professors and instructors have taken the approach tocompletely flip the classroom, where the lectures are recorded and the classroom activities arepractice

Introduction Meeting the challenges of an ever-changing engineering society/world in preparing futureengineers has never been greater. On one hand, unprecedented progress in the field of electronicsand programmable devices has provided an opportunity for engineers from all disciplines toaccomplish their respective tasks at a much faster and easier pace. Accordingly, the majority ofengineering programs are requiring all of

results were very positive in terms of student reactions. Most studentsstrongly preferred the flipped format. But from an impact standpoint the grades earned werereasonably similar between the flipped and standard delivery modes. The reason for that, in ouropinion, is that the level of student engagement outside the classroom did not materialize to thedegree necessary.IntroductionThe term “student engagement” is multifaceted and can take many different forms. Examplesinclude academic, cognitive, social, emotional, and institutional to name a few [1]. For this paper,we will focus on academic engagement and will use the following definition. Academicengagement is the “participation in the requirements for school success” [2].There are different

Exploring multiple decoders Working on their laptops with their neighbors, students download a Logisim file containing a set of related circuits and an “exploration guide” (usually as a Microsoft Word file). The “exploration guide” contains a set of instructions (for example “set the inputs to specific values and observe the output”, “now change the inputs in a specific way and observe the results”, “record your observations here”) and a set of questions that focus their attention on different aspects of the circuit. The idea is that the students are “explorers” in a foreign world (the world of digital circuits). The recording of observations (using words, equations and tables) helps students to

In addition, the use of assertions supported by newer HDLsprovides students with immediate feedback on the correctness of their designs, a vital featurewhich enables them to succeed in the creation of complex designs.1.

Different from many existing approaches, our embedded systems course focuses on digitaldesigns of FPGA-based systems with an emphasis on small-scale autonomous vehicles. Tofacilitate student robotics projects, the course was restructured with a series of FPGA-basedlaboratory exercises before the students began to build their autonomous vehicles.

JunctionTransistors do not. Due to its very low (sub-ohm) RDS resistances, the MOSFET transistor haslow VDS saturation voltages as compared to the VCE saturation voltages of a BJT. Even lowpower MOSFETs have VDSon voltages of 0.1 volts or less when the BJT VCEsat voltages can be inthe 0.5 to 1 volt range and even higher. This allows the MOSFET to have significantly improvedswitching characteristics over the BJT in comparable applications. In addition, most MOSFETshave an output protection diode which allows utility comparable to a BJT in switching inductiveloads such as relays and motors.Along the same lines, the MOSFET retains its amplification characteristics much closer to its

Reduce or eliminate homework plagiarism: this is achievable since the final homework grades are not going to assess how well the student attempted the homework but will assess how well they graded it and reflected on their mistakes. This will totally flip the homework from being an assessment tool to an active learning tool. 2. Improve the effectiveness of the homework within the learning process: this is achievable since homework is honestly attempted. In addition, the process of grading the homework requires a good grasp of the solution, which is only possible through outside-the- classroom learning. 3.
