. For the teaching of wireless communication systems, SDRhas been the key enabling technology for a wider adoption of PBL pedagogies. SDR’s use ofprogrammable software frameworks and general-purpose hardware lowers the barrier-to-entryfor students to model, implement, debug, and verify real-world communication systems. As withany example of PBL, when using SDR to meet intended learning goals it is important to give dueconsideration to key subject design characteristics such as project complexity and open-endedness.The subject reported in this paper exists as an opportunity for students to integrate priorknowledge from overlapping areas in communication systems, signal processing, and embeddedsystems. As is common in the literature, for the

It aligns with the historical context, originating from a 1948 meeting of collegeexaminers at the American Psychological Association Convention, emphasizing the need for atheoretical framework to enhance communication among examiners and stimulate research onexamining and education.Background on Constructivist Theory of LearningWhen receiving an education in engineering, students are not passive recipients of information butrather active participants in their own learning process.

greater sense of belonging to discipline, self-efficacy, and career readiness; particularly for under-represented minority (URM) students [3].However, such active-learning experiences are usually offered late in their engineering degree(e.g., senior-capstone projects) rather than early and often throughout the curriculum. Mostredesign efforts to address this issue typically focus on single, or multiple but disjointed gatewaycourses [4]. An example of a critical path in the Electrical and Electronic Engineering (EEE)department at Sacramento State is shown in Figure 1.Figure-1: Example curriculum path in the EEE major, showing long engineering pre-requisite chains called critical-paths.

create a powerful impacton STEM education and consolidate the achievements of DEI from the institutional level efforts.Prior research has shown that diverse faculty leadership plays an important role in fostering aDEI culture [11]. 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

education [46], [47], [48],[49].To hone in on the importance of adopting autoethnography in an ECE educational context, wepostulate that this method can uncover and emphasize the lived curriculum by BLV students inECE education [50], [51], [52]. In reality, even with extensive prior planning, educators anddisability support officers (DSOs) cannot fully predict the impact of their accessibility measureson the realistic experience of an incoming BLV student to an introductory ECE course. Thisdifference between the educators’, DSOs’, and students’ expectations and experiences gives riseto the aforementioned lived curriculum. We believe that autoethnography can afford educatorsand DSOs a deeper understanding of the reality of being a BLV student in an

CircuitsIntroductionAt the University of Idaho, an intermediate circuits course is required before students can takejunior-level classes. However, most community colleges only offer a first course in circuits, sotransfer students are immediately behind in their academic progression. One way to address thisis to develop an online lecture course with a suite of labs that a student can perform beforecoming to the university, say over the summer, so that the student can be on-track for graduation.In addition, as the number of online courses grows, these labs can be used by students whocannot come to campus.In our curriculum, the intermediate electrical engineering lecture and laboratory course beginswith sinusoidal sources, then introduces the students to steady

curriculum: at Tufts, students take the course(ES 4) in the fall semester of sophomore year and it forms part of their core conception of whatelectrical and computer engineering is. In general, their courses up to this point have been genericacross engineering, and many students see the course as a way to confirm whether an electrical orcomputer engineering major is right for them. As a result, we have both an opportunity and anobligation to inspire and motivate students in addition to helping them develop prerequisite skillsfor other courses.Digital logic labsAs at most universities, our offering of the course has a substantial laboratory component, wherestudents put in the hard (and rewarding) work of translating pencil-and-paper logic designs
