TechnologyMajor (ENET), a concentration within Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) that focuses on electricalenergy and power systems. As part of this degree program, a gateway course will be required for all EETsophomores that is designed to recruit into the ENET major, to serve as an introduction to AC systemsanalysis, and to explain electric energy and power systems in a systems context. This course wasdesigned specifically with the IEEE mandate in mind, and great importance was placed on meeting theprogram characteristics described above. Therefore, the course content was chosen to emphasize theapplication of building renewable and efficient electric power systems. Topics such as renewable energyresources (wind, solar, and fuel cells), cleaner

To understand the cycle, anunderstanding of the four basic kinds of experience modes is needed: concrete experience (CE),reflective observation (RO), abstract conceptualization (AC), and active experimentation (AE).A different learning process is conducted depending on which aspect of experiences affectindividuals 12. The ideal experiential learning cycle will have a learner "touch all the bases" 12 ofthe cycle seen in Figure 1.

every semester, etc.For the EET 223-Digital Electronics, the author of this paper made changes only in the theoryclass, being assigned to teach this class only two times in the last three years. Changes in thiscourse are in work and they are coordinated by another instructor in the EET department. In thetheory course, more time was spent on sequential circuits and timing diagrams and less time onreviewing combinational circuits and the specific characteristics of combinational and sequentialcircuits from the 74HC xx and 74SNxx series.In the second part of the course, the electrical DC and AC characteristics of CMOS family werecovered, emphasizing concepts such as low power dissipation, noise margin, rise time, falltime, ground bounce, reading
