digital design problem using a Finite State Machine based controller.Student’s knowledge assessment is similar with the previous two courses.The last ABET evaluations for the EET and CET programs at FSC was in 2013.IV. Changes in the Digital Design Sequence of CoursesIn the last three academic years, the junior level course EET 316-Digital Design was updatedcontinuously (syllabus and laboratory experiments). The modifications were made by the firstauthor of this paper, who was appointed course coordinator for this course in the fall of 2014, incollaboration with adjunct faculty, members of the Industry Advisory Board and industryrepresentatives. Students’ feedback was also considered.In the academic year 2012-2013, new FPGA platforms were

bythe Technology Accreditation Commission/Accreditation Board of Engineering and Technology(TAC/ABET), the leading accreditation agency in the United States. The course consisted of alecture part, a lab part, and an online part; all three parts were supported by a prescribed text.Participants Students were selected from the ECET-110 (Electronic-I) course taken during their firstsemester in the ECET program. The group consisted of 24-29 students from a wide range ofdemographic attributes: their age ranged from 18 to 30 years; their educational backgroundvaried from as little as a recent high school education to 3-5 years of work experience or havingcompleted an undergraduate degree prior to enrolling in the technical program; 96% were

quantitative results yet, the benefits of usingvLabs were capture by an external evaluator who conducted focus group interviews with students.This section summarizes information during the focus group with eight students, enrolled atNNMC. Participants were interviewed by the project evaluator using a focus group strategy. Aftera brief summary of the purpose of the focus group, participants introduced themselves andprovided their year in college. Six students were seniors, one student was a fifth year senior, andone student was a junior. The group included seven males and one female. The evaluator used thecourse syllabus to guide the discussion related to course content. Students agreed the coursecontent was relevant to their needs, met or exceeded

The course was designedin a modular construction, with each unit paired with an experiment focusing on a set ofexperimental design concepts, enabling the course to be studied online and asynchronously. Eachof the four modules focuses on learning objectives grouped around a subset of key experimentaldesign concepts, shown in Table 2.Table 2: Example of Mechanical Engineering SEEF work to support active learning in ME2 Learning Objective Experimental Problem Experiment Connection Solving Concept FocusUnderstand frameworks and systemicapproaches to the design and Goal, Hypothesis, Variables, All

; ● Outcome 5: An ability to function effectively as a member of a technical team.Project Specifications: In addition to a course syllabus, a detailed document specifying theproject requirements is provided to the students in the first semester of the project. The projectchallenges have gradually increased over the past three years and are described in the followingparagraphs.In spring 2018, as a pilot project, three teams consisting of EET and MET students were formed.The teams were assigned to procure an off-the-shelf RC car and integrate autonomous navigationcapability with obstacle avoidance as part of the capstone project. The duration of the projectwas for one semester. The design challenge was to include “high speed” as the main
