/repositories.Introduction—Educational Research Using LabsLaboratory projects can be strategically used to improve the Electrical and ComputerEngineering (ECE) curriculum across all four years, according to National Science Foundation(NSF) research done by Chu [1]. The aim is to enhance student learning and better preparegraduates for new challenges. Chu’s viewpoint is that a good engineer must not only becomeknowledgeable in certain content areas (components, learned in individual courses), but also beable to apply and integrate that content to solve complex, real-world problems.Motivation for Chu’s work came from an earlier 5-year study of engineering education [2]. Thatstudy found a deficiency in the curricula—subjects were taught in isolation, did not have

Integrate various strands of electrical and computer engineering through experiential learning.Given that there was little room in our freshman and junior year curriculum, the only option wasto add a sophomore-level course. This means that we will have to rely on individual courses inthe junior year to carry on the development of student skills and abilities. For the second goal,we decided to use advanced IoT-ready microcontrollers as a standard tool. This decision hasaffected our freshman courses because we will now require that some basic skills related toprogramming be more targeted towards microcontroller programming.One issue that all engineering programs face is an overcrowded

. 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].

The recent availability of increasingly powerful, yet low-cost, wireless networked devicesmakes it much more feasible to adopt a ‘middle-out’ approach, where students get to experienceand use embedded systems and IOT, before delving deeper into the details of how such systemsare constructed at the circuit level or integrated in a networked environment.

Butthis model is difficult to apply even to the most basic power conversion circuits; while signalprocessing functions are often available as discrete components, most modern power circuits arehighly integrated out of necessity. While it is possible to base a lab exercise on an off-the-shelfmonolithic power converter, much of the operation is hidden, and quality oscilloscopes andcurrent probes are out of reach for many schools.
