These approaches promote activities valued byindustry that encourage active student participation in the learning process 4, 5. Moreover, it isalso important for the students to be exposed to the open-ended nature of design problems 6.These facts emphasize strong cohesion between the materials covered in a lecture class and itsassociated laboratory activities 7. In addition to this, students need to appreciate the practice ofdesign trade-offs among several competing requirements 8.Limitation of traditional courses: Normally a course covering computer architecture andorganization uses built hardware as the platform that has little configurability for

Although mosttraditional electrical and computer engineering programs have updated their curriculum toinclude topics in hardware description language and programmable logic design (FPGA/CPLD),only 19.5 % of 4-year and 16.5 % of 2-year electrical and computer engineering technologyprograms at US academic institutions currently have a curriculum component in hardwaredescription language and programmable logic design [3].

The lessons can be studied independently, allowing studentsto work at their own pace. Consequently, they are ideal for reviewing and self-learning.Physics: Physics cannot be taught only using the book and blackboard and asking students tomemorize rules, formulas and laws. One of the important parts of teaching physics is a real-time experimental demonstration that visualizes the laws of nature; laboratory exercises thatthe students conduct during laboratory sessions serve the same purpose. The laboratory andexperimental demonstration should be established as a primary learning tool in the science

The online EM course will be offered in Track A of summer 2012and will consist of online learning modulus, online quizzes, exams, and intense laboratories. Dueto the hands-on nature of educational strategy, the laboratory component is an integral part ofany course offered in the SoT, and the on-line EM course is no exception.

The questions indicate a good understanding of the topics discussed in class.Some additional aspects that were noticed were that the Chinese students learn by doing, are taskoriented, know how to get things done, and want to fully understand the theory before being asked toverify it in the laboratory. It was noticed in a few classes that the students didn’t want to start the labuntil they fully understood the theory behind the experiment. They often learn by watching theirclassmates around them, and then by doing. This helps to reinforce their knowledge. Theyparticipate in plant tours and are eager to always learn more.Challenging AspectsBased on the teaching

Second, the higher level architectural features of microprocessors can beoverlooked if too much effort is made to accomplish specific tasks in the laboratory setting.ImplementationOne possible approach to address the shortcomings of these classes would be to “flip” theclassroom by having the lecture material presented online, allowing students to spend more timein the laboratory experimenting with microcontrollers. This approach can be too software heavyin content and the students might have a tendency to take on a “hacker” approach by looking upcode

Virtual help sessions on eCampus using BlackboardCollaborate Ultra were created to help students learn the material. Based on the results in thetwo-year period, it will be determined how much of the lectures will be flipped. Challenges andlessons learned during the first semester are discussed, these include: What if students do notspend time prepare for the flipped class? What if it takes longer time to cover the materials usingthe flipped classroom approach? Is there an impact on the faculty teaching load or the actual timethey spend in teaching the course
