Student projects include a Google calendar-based alarm clock where theuser must solve a challenge before silencing the alarm. Other projects included smart parking,home security, plant care, and a web-based automated brewing system. At the end of the semester,students showcase their projects to faculty, staff, and other students.The IoT lab module was created to improve interest, motivation, diversity, and retention of stu-dents in ECE. Interest and motivation are tracked by University-wide Student Rating of Teaching(SRT) surveys. The results show a greater than one standard deviation improvement in studentsurvey scores

INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUNDAlmost two decades ago, the US National Academy of Engineering developed a list of the 20most significant and greatest engineering achievements of the 20th century which have had themost impact on the lives of people. Electrification, as supported by the electrical power grid, wasfirst on the list (compared to the Airplane, Telephone, and Internet which ranked 3rd, 9th, and13th respectively) [1]. Our century-old power grid is the largest interconnected machine onEarth, so massively complex and inextricably linked to human involvement and endeavor that it 1has alternatively

Yet many introductory EE courses (oursincluded) have a reputation among students as being dry, boring, and even useless.This paper describes how we transformed our rather traditional circuits course for non-EE-majorsinto a project-centered introduction to practical electronics. By building the course around a set ofinteresting projects and drawing links to real devices whenever possible, we aimed to demonstratethe value and relevance of EE to students in other fields and to those still deciding on a major.Student evaluation comments and several significant shifts in enrollment patterns suggest that wehave been at least partially successful.

Bygiving early access to specialized pieces of equipment and hands on training early inundergraduate education, allows them to develop innovative ideas that utilize the equipment fortheir projects. Training also allows students to quickly become comfortable with the tools thatelectrical engineering depends on, instead of having to develop their proficiency in the first fiveyears of being in the workforce or graduate school.Introduction:Back in the fifties and sixties there was a significant push for engineering

This exploratory work was guided by the following question: What habits ofmind do undergraduate electrical engineering students use when answering conceptualquestions about electric current? The data for this study were student interviews conductedusing a think aloud protocol. The questions on the protocol were aimed at uncovering students’conceptual knowledge and possible misconceptions about basic circuit concepts.

The design process is also complicated bythe safety, practicality and cost constraints. In light of these challenges, the engineering educationneeds to maintain its focus on principles of engineering design that can effectively prepareengineering graduates to meet the challenges posed by rapid technological growth in engineeringand manufacturing technologies. The effectiveness of engineering education in modeling anddesign courses, traditionally, is measured through quizzes, exams and course projects that areaimed at measuring level of developed skills.
