Black University College in Maryland: Second-year student as a case studyAbstractThe integration of hands-on physics preparation in pre-engineering programs is essential forstrengthening students’ foundational knowledge, engagement, and career readiness, particularly atHistorically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This study investigates the impact ofexperiential learning approaches, including laboratory experiments, collaborative projects, andsimulations, on the academic performance and professional preparedness of second-year pre-engineering students at HBCU in Maryland. Using a mixed-methods research design, quantitativeand qualitative data were collected to assess students' engagement, conceptual understanding, andconfidence in

years, several systems have been developed to provide remote FPGA lab services,including web-based remote FPGA labs [5], cloud-based remote FPGA labs [6], and server-basedremote FPGA labs [7]. However, many of these systems offer only limited FPGA functionalitiesand impose restrictions on students’ access time to the hardware. Typically, these systems involvea lab station or server set up within the laboratory, enabling students to connect through a privatenetwork. For instance, researchers at the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru implemented asystem where a camera displays the FPGA’s physical output to students [8].Three main methods have emerged for implementing remote FPGA lab systems. The firstapproach connects the FPGAs to a private

As an instructor in Electrical, Electronics, andMechatronics Engineering and Technology, my primary teaching focuses on embeddedengineering design and industrial automation. Since 2013, I have taught five embedded systemscourses at Texas A&M University (TAMU) and Northern Kentucky University (NKU).

A series of exercises wasdeveloped to help students visualize the concepts and gain a better appreciation for how theconcepts are useful in real-world situations. Some of the laboratory exercises involve applicationshaving sensors of mechanical phenomenon and data acquisition. Some of the exercises involvebuilding and testing circuits.Similar to the curriculum at many universities, our program has a basic electrical circuit course forsophomore students in mechanical engineering. The course structure has a 2-hour lecture, 2-hourlab, for a 3-credit course. The following

free electives. The above- mentioned courses can count towards this requirement.The above-mentioned elective requirements provide a suitable platform to implement sequentialhands-on project-based courses for enhanced learning and skill building. While Sophomore andJunior-level courses can incorporate project-based instruction, this paper emphasizes project-based instruction implementation for elective courses for the following observed reasons: Most of the Sophomore and Junior-level courses have a laboratory course associated with the lecture course [6]. Substantial project work, if any, is implemented in the lab setting. Elective courses usually do not have a required laboratory course attached to it. Not

Teaching. The project not only succeeded in adapting to theconstraints of remote learning but also demonstrated a forward-thinking approach to embeddingpractical, real-world skills in the curriculum, serving as a model for future education strategies inembedded systems and other hands-on disciplines.1. INTRODUCTIONThe COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 fundamentally disrupted educational systems worldwide,forcing a sudden shift from in-person to remote learning. For engineering disciplines likeembedded systems, which rely heavily on hands-on laboratory work and real-time hardware-software integration, this transition posed unique and significant challenges. The inability to accessphysical tools and collaborative environments risked undermining the

curriculum unique, though, is the emphasis on creating a single,complete product. In fact, the course is centered around this tenet, with all classroom materialstemming from the necessary facets of such design. To the author’s knowledge, there is no othercomparable curriculum.In the proposed curriculum, the course focuses heavily on practice. However, theory is alsoemphasized in order to allow students to adjust to whatever tools a company or laboratory maydemand. Furthermore, the class emphasizes the theory behind “rules of thumb” in order to allowstudents to make educated decisions in the design process. This approach overall helps students tofoster creativity [6], as none of the practical aspects have “correct” answers, and the students gainthe

topics. This is true across engineering, but especially true inelectrical engineering, where the applications require great amounts of background.In an introductory class that the author has developed [1], a curriculum was explored that allowed(in the author’s opinion) a good blend between the two extremes. The formal education focusedon classroom lectures and laboratory-based exploration. However, even though the lecturesallowed for decent breadth while the laboratory allowed for decent depth, there was still a need fordeep, less-structured exploration. This piece seems to be missing in most introductory curricula,and is of the utmost importance to allow students to really solidify their knowledge.This is where the idea of the Deep Dive comes

The learning outcomes are accomplished through a series ofin-class activities, formal laboratory sessions, and out-of-class projects. The lab sessions focusmore on the education surrounding common lab equipment and instrumentation. Projects areteam-based, with a prompt that allows choice for creativity and uniqueness while providingconstraints. In-class activities are aimed at providing students with a starting point to labs andprojects.

For instance, in a resistor-inductor-capacitor (RLC) circuit, differentialequations are used to arrive at the steady-state solution, and multiple drawings of different statescan only be done at coarse-grained steps to illustrate the dynamics. Hands-on laboratories can aidin illustrating theoretical concepts by working with physical components and measuring tools(e.g., building small circuits and using oscilloscopes). However, these laboratories tend to becarried out in a subsequent semester after the students have finished with the theoreticalfoundations.

Using keywords associatedwith various ECE subfields—such as controls, power electronics, and power systems—, thesystem will provide students with a curated list of recommended courses corresponding to thesemarket demands. Additionally, the tool will incorporate student input, allowing them to tailorrecommendations based on their interests
