of engineering mathematical contentinto the introductory electrical engineering course, we will be collecting data for three differentgroups. A student who took one or both of the introductory circuits courses EE2050 (LinearCircuits I, primarily DC) and EE2060 (Linear Circuits II, primarily AC) in the last five academicyears will be included in the study. The student will be placed into a group as follows: Group A: The student was enrolled in EE100 during academic years 2013 to 2015, prior to enrolling in EE2060. Group B: The student was enrolled in EE1000 during academic years 2016 to present, prior to enrolling in EE2060. Group C: The student was not enrolled in either EE100 or EE1000 prior to enrolling

, is an assistant professor of electrical and computer engineering at the University of Pittsburgh’s Swanson School of Engineering. Robert was born in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. He got his B.S. (2010), his M.S (2012). and his PhD (2014) from the University of Pittsburgh, all with a concen- tration in electric power systems. Robert’s academic focus is in education as it applies to engineering at the collegiate level. His areas of interest are in electric power systems, in particular, electric machinery and electromagnetics. Robert has worked as a mathematical modeler for Emerson Process Management, working on electric power applications for Emerson’s Ovation Embedded Simulator. Robert also served in the United States

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
