other degree4. Engineers, and engineering faculty in particular, should take every opportunity to be active leaders and, when possible, to enlist the help of students. There are many examples of this at the case study university. Professors run the regional MathCounts, have created Boy Scout Day, and help local high schools with First Robotics entries, just to name a few. All three events mentioned involve cross discipline coordination and student involvement. Even after graduation, students that had helped with projects will maintain ownership and when possible have returned to help with events.Recommendations / StudentsJust like with the faculty, critical mass in the student body requires an

Americans have spent millions of dollars and occupied the time of hundreds ofscholars and scientists on curriculum development projects. Most of this money and energy hasspent to create new sets of course materials—textbooks, learning materials and apparatus of allkinds, teachers' guides, and tests—and to prepare teachers to use them.The primary stage of analysis of the curriculum involves understanding the current curriculum, itsappropriateness to broader development and education policy objectives.

Itis an authentic assessment environment that more closely simulates later types of learningsituations, and is “one of the truest forms of active learning” [16, p. 80] where students candemonstrate their knowledge and skills, and receive valuable feedback from the

Thecore concepts of the modules as realized through the methods discussed will remain the same,but future research will focus on continuing to tailor the learning delivery system. This will notonly improve the lessons themselves but will require considered practice of the lesson delivery,which will echo the sentiments of the previous section in building

The onlinesection students were already in the virtual mode, i.e., receiving the learning modules, recordedlecture videos, discussion forums, assignments, exams, group project, etc. via Blackboard courselearning management and interacting with the instructor via email or Blackboard.

With this new knowledge, students can also pursue hobbies and projects relevant to thefield of electronics using their equipment.Lessons LearnedWith the potential of future disease outbreaks and the increase in online education, the need foronline learning is necessary to provide a laboratory experience remotely with physicalequipment. Furthermore, online learning can provide an opportunity for students unable to attenda physical university location. While challenging, hands-on laboratory learning can occur at adistance.

. According to the score received for the thirdquestion, the students have somewhat improved programming skills after taking this class (eventhough this was not the main objective of the class). Eighty three percent of the students hadtaken a class, in which they learned Matlab (see Table 2). It was a C programming class in whichthey were introduced to Matlab towards end of the semester. All the students had used Matlab inclass assignments or projects prior to taking this class. This suggests that all the students havehad some prior programming experience. Fifty percent of the students preferred Matlab toSimulink and 33% were neutral. Block diagram approach used in Simulink seems to be moreattractive to students. Table 1

Webelieve investigating real-life performance, instead of student perceptions of their motivation,enhances the ecological validity of our project and decreases the potential for socially desirableresponding. Although there are many possible indicators of motivation (e.g., including grades onlow-point value assignments, attendance and punctuality, rates of non-instructional cellphone/laptop use during class), for this study, we focus on the grades obtained on low point-valueassignments. We believe these assignments may be particularly unmotivating for many studentsbecause they may be seen as a nuisance, given they are such a small component of an overall classgrade, and thus may be easy to dismiss.
