course redesign process, the instructional team utilized acombination of course design models3-5. Beginning with the end in mind or “backward design,” aterm introduced by Wiggins and McTighe5, the course design process began by considering thesignificant understandings and skills first-year students need to gain prior to moving further intotheir respective ET curriculum. Based on this information, and in association with revisedBloom’s taxonomy6, the student learning objectives (SLO) for this course were updated toinclude the following. Gain awareness of electrical and computer engineering career opportunities. Reinforce critical thinking and problem-solving skills in engineering though team-based and hands-on experiences. Harness

come to the engineer’s mind, one is to use apotentiometer and the other is to use a decade resistor box. If the engineer uses one side of thepotentiometer and the center of it, he/she now has a continuously adjustable resistor or an analogvariable resistor. However, if the engineer uses a decade resistor box (has several resistors in onebox) he/she has a discrete adjustable resistor or a digital variable resistor.2.2. Examples for Explaining the Concept of Under-Sampling The following examples provide an introduction to under-sampling and aliasing. Theexamples range from entertainment to driving. These examples cover time-domain sampling.2.2.1. TV Sampling Did you know that the shows you watch on TV are not continuous-time signals

engaging students but increasing their learning experiences. Though it isrecommended learning environments should be designed to actively engage students, professorsshould also be mindful of how these activities are perceived by the students. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the types of activities used to teach electriccircuits and students’ reported perceptions of these activities. This systematic literature review isaimed at answering the following questions: “How are engineering learning environmentsdesigned to promote students’ understanding of electric circuits? What are students’ perceptionsof the types of activities used in enhancing their understanding of circuit concepts?” Systematicliterature reviews as opposed to the
