Moreover, the course also focused on reinforcing relevant foundationalconcepts of the embedded systems along with their different hardware architecture.Table 1 illustrates the four learning objectives of the course and their associated Bloom’staxonomy. To achieve these learning objectives, different active teaching and learningtechniques along with modified conventional lectures and hands-on laboratory activities wereused. In addition to the assignments, and two examinations (1 mid-term and 1 final), the classproject was also important aspects of the class.

custom algorithms were necessary to handledifferent situations such as the wall contour changing suddenly and the robot needed to performa sharp 90 degree turn to the left or right. Another problem was the interference to theaccelerometers when the Zumo robot rapidly changed its movement. If not careful, theaccelerometers could falsely detect an angle as high as 20 degrees.Conclusions and future workThis paper discusses a case study where a part of the research project was used as capstone stoneproject and a part of the capstone project was used as laboratory material and a course project ina control systems course. It worked well for all three areas: teaching the control systems coursewith real-world problems; integrating control systems course

The most recent iteration of the course madeuse of online experimental seminars completed using video conferencing, and self-paced worksuch as analysis of data and report writing (which was asynchronous and could be completed atthe students’ individually preferred time and pace). The active learning methods previously usedwithin physical classrooms were adapted for use in online learning, as summarized below inTable 3

the course can help students to understand and gain further insightinto the theoretical lectures. According to the study [4], data communications and networkingcourses are divided into three categories: (1) The fundamental and general topics of computernetworks using some practical examples, (2) Internet protocols, and (3) A set of programming andproject assignments. The traditional approach to teaching data communications consists of lecturescovering theoretical information and mathematical basis, and of laboratory sessions where studentscan understand better the communication process and how to program a communications protocol.It is very crucial to keep up in classrooms with today's industry requirements for graduates in termsof both

Prior to an accreditation visit, programs should review the latest requirements toensure compliance, especially on websites and in printed materials. These often change andprograms are expected to be up-to-date or make efforts to become compliant. For example,ABET requires three types of information to be available to the public: the program educationalobjectives, the student outcomes as well as headcount data, including enrollment and the numberof graduates. This information should be “easy” to

Students are assigned to design a system orsystems that require use of the knowledge that they have acquired in lower level courses.Sometimes, if the project is large enough, they are assigned a group project. "ETME 475-Mechanical Systems Design" course is a three credit-hour course, carrying 2 credit-hours for thelecture and one credit-hour (two contact-hours) for laboratory. For lecture part of the ETME 475-Mechanical Systems Design course, several chapters from “Engineering Design” by GeorgeDieter and Linda Schmidt [8] were covered.

In the EET program at Kennesaw State University, the Capstone Design courseexperience was offered through a menu of project-based senior design courses that students gotto choose from based on their specific electrical areas of interest. This served the program wellfor several years but did not always offer the students a uniform design experience as thatdepended on the instructor(s) teaching those classes in a given semester.
