), white board(s),projector(s), and printer(s). The author was the professor of record and independently designedthe course based on Purdue University CLOOs. In course planning and preparation, theinstructor adopted a learning-centered paradigm, while using a Learning Management System(LMS) (i.e., Blackboard) for course organization, file sharing, assignment posting/submission,grading, and testing. The instructor’s goal was to create a learning environment in which studentscould learn to restructure the new information and their prior knowledge into new knowledgeabout the content, and practice using it. Course design included a combination of mini/bridginglectures (as needed), readings, group discussions, exams, assignments, and a team project

Basic S`tatistical ParametersTo validate and get basic information from any data set, the fundamental three statisticalparameters (mean, median and standard deviation) are used in any field.Mean: It indicates the average of set of data points. To introduce this parameter usage and itsimportance to the students, in this experiment, the pressure sensor reading was measured 5 timesat the same PSI value. In real time industrial applications, the data from any sensor is

all post-assessmentresults must be compared relative to a non-flipped method. It has been determined that the nextcourse offering for this course will utilize active learning but the flipped classroom techniquewill not be used. The instructor hopes to gather the missing data at that time for comparison. In addition to baseline knowledge comparison, a simple review of daily assignments andexams seems to indicate lower student grades than typically seen by the instructor (averages inthe 70’s%). This could have been attributed to other changes such as the introduction of an e-book, whereas a traditional text version was used prior to the semester when the flipped approachwas used. General confusion appeared to result for many students as
integrating these materials into researchor application projects. The research team embraces others who are interested in teaching aboutmicrocontrollers to enhance collaboration on these topics. The team had designed a commonhardware platform for laboratory modules at an affordable price to learners, which reflects theconcepts of active learning. Thus, learners are motivated to engage in the activities andexperiments because they can follow the instructional steps well and maintain interest.References1. S. Hsiung and F.

that the population in the United States is nolonger as diverse as it once was[5]. As people have emigrated from all parts of the world,cultural groups are represented in much different percentages than 10 years ago. Over the lastcentury much of the diversity evident in the early 1900’s has assimilated into what is referred toas a melting pot, constantly changing. However, universities do not reflect the type and level ofdiversity of the current population[2, 3]. Both of the engineering and engineering technologyprograms, despite higher levels of one underrepresented group or another, still has much higherlevels of white students. Thus the general population that was once in the minority are moving toa more balanced number as related to the

from allthat is available is problematic. Similar to our counterparts in the industry, educators must selectsoftware which satisfies a number of often competing requirements. Our software acquisitionsmust compliment the curriculum, integrate with the technical capacity of the institution, andprovide sufficient challenge to students, all the while reflecting current industry standards. Weare thus presented with a shared dilemma: how do both educators and industry decide whichsoftware application(s) to acquire?Software acquisition and adaptation decisions often involve comparing alternatives of severalcriteria. However, the end users of the software systems may not necessarily be familiar with theoverall decision-making criteria. To address this
Programming environment.2) This course requires students to have a background in networking so that when the components of socket programming and connectivity are taught in this course, the course is wholly disseminated in their understanding of the system(s), and their learning is made more complete.
