MethodsStudy Context and ParticipantsAs part of a project funded by the NSF's Improving Undergraduate STEM Education (IUSE)program, our goal is to create a hands-on curriculum that fosters a stimulating and collaborativelearning environment to increase interest among young students in hardware-related topics. Inthis curriculum, we designed an 8-week module centered on AIoT. This module, expanded uponlater, specifically covers concepts related to data acquisition using sensors and microcontrollers,along with the implementation of machine learning models to address real-life scenarios. In Fall2023, we implemented this module as the latter part of an elective course offered by the ECEdepartment to first-year students enrolled in any engineering major at

of the final project. Assuming that an individualworks well with the team, this should be reflected in the quality of the final presentation, finalreport, and the functionality of the final project. However, there are some cases where studentsdo well individually in projects 2 and 3 but fail to integrate their work into the final project. Thiscan be detected when there is no strong connection between the individual part and the finalproduct. 4. Peer evaluationsAt the end of the semester, students were required to evaluate their teammates using aquestionnaire that rated their peers in three categories: management, collaboration, andinclusivity. The rating structure was based on a scale of unsatisfactory (1/3 point), developing(2/3 points

While similar models ofreal-world engagement (e.g., EPICS) exist, they are either limited to a specific category ofstakeholders, such as industry or community, or a particular program, such as capstonedesign. The TRUE projects allow learners across the four-year engineering curriculum toparticipate while holistically building the skills required for the projects via specializedcourses, outreach programs, and mentorship.Implementation of the TRUE initiative over the past seven years provides an opportunity toqualitatively understand the development of students' engineering self-efficacy as a result oftheir participation. Self-efficacy measures students' beliefs in their ability to achieve tasks [2].In this study, it

since not all ECE students take a course on computer networks.A decision to make while designing the course is whether computer networks would be requiredas a prerequisite for the information security course, especially since network security is animportant part of the course. We decided to not add that prerequisite so as to make the coursemore accessible. It is noted that there are two programs in ECE, namely electrical engineeringand computer engineering. Computer engineering students are required to take the informationsecurity course (in a recently revamped curriculum), while electrical engineering students cantake it as an elective. Also, computer networks is a core course in the computer engineeringprogram, but not in the electrical

The curriculum in many colleges probably teaches with thesame content and method but the result is not the purpose of this paper tries to present. On the otherhand, some improvement has been made to enhance the learning of μC or μP such as what the article[2] shows with an experiment platform, but it again doesn’t discuss any information to let studentsdesign their own processors or controllers. As described above, knowing how to design with acommercially available μC or μP opens a door to explore embedded system development whichredirects the focus of the development of a digital system into software and hardware

Faculty members’ curricular decisions and pedagogy, including theirinteractions with students, can help create more inclusive climates. Research also reveals that thereflection of students in the curriculum helps create a sense of belonging for them and fostersinclusion [11, 12]. Incorporating DEI in classroom teaching needs a good understanding ofstudents’ and instructors’ perceptions of inclusiveness, such as self-assurance, belonging,empathy, student's voice, trust towards student peers and instructors, as well as
