level. For twosemesters, the Microprocessors course at East Carolina University (ECU) has been taught in aflipped classroom format allowing students to watch online lectures before attending each lectureperiod and to allow students more opportunities to ask questions and complete learning activitiesin class. During the scheduled lecture period students are encouraged to work with each other tocomplete hands-on in-class exercises allowing them to evaluate their understanding of thematerial presented in the online lecture and the assigned reading. Such in-class exercises mayinvolve answering conceptual questions, writing code, or building circuits. It was observed bythe instructor in previous semesters that some students who had a good grasp of

They alsoincluded participation in specific campus events that were integral to success in the course.Students were generally expected to complete the distributed learning activities before the nextFriday class session.A syllabus for the course that details learning outcomes, and lists all learning activities andassignments, is provided in the Appendix to this paper. A style of problem-based learningpedagogy was utilized consistently throughout the course, in that content and pacing were drivenby the twenty-one (21) assignments listed on the syllabus.
