atMiddle Tennessee State University. Traditionally, this course covered number systems, switches,combinational and sequential logic circuits design, and FPGA programming. In recent years,there is a need to introduce microcontrollers to the students in this course. The reason is that ourprogram does not offer a microcontroller course, but microcontrollers are used very often insenior design and could also be used in the course projects of some upper division courses. Theefforts of adding Arduino to the curriculum of Digital Circuits Fundamentals started about threeyears ago. In particular, we have used a low-cost Arduino kit and redesigned two labassignments to teach students how to use Arduino and how to interface Arduino with digitaldisplays and

Manufacturing for Authentic Digital Food Design Solutions1. IntroductionEntertainment as a communication and experimental platform can be effectively applied forintroducing students to social issues related to food equity, nutrition, and security in classroomlearning environments. These issues are characterized by the lack of consistent access to enoughfood for an active, healthy life. Educational projects at the intersection of food and entertainmenthas the potential to raise awareness about social issues and encourage students to creatively thinkabout innovative solutions using digital entertainment tools and human-centered designmethodologies.

earlyin their academic careers. With the primary construction materials being from readily available componentsand craft supplies, the project can easily be implemented in both college and high school learningenvironments with limited resources. The completed robot design involves three main functionalchallenges; maneuverability, ability to pick up small objects, and storage of the objects. Students’ robotswill then compete in a simulated biological environment, with small objects that can be placed at differingheights to vary the task difficulty and represent food sources at multiple elevations. Each team of studentswould be tasked to strategically design their robot to optimize performance in a competition for points. Tooptimize their robots

laboratory experiment, but italso has disadvantages, namely students have less class time to learn the fundamentals of twovast fields of study—statistics and measurement.Initially, the content of the IDE’s Data Analysis course was organized in series, focusing onmeasurement topics first and statistical concepts second. This sequential model had twomajor disadvantages. First, because the measurement and data acquisition content wasconcentrated at the start of the semester, many students struggled to remember what they“learned” in the first part of the class when they completed their culminating project later inthe semester, in which they designed their own experiment and then collected and analyzedtheir own data. This phenomenon illustrated that

A potential concern of an overly difficultescape room is a decrease in student’s confidence to succeed [10]. Although setting challengingproximal goals is also useful in developing self-efficacy [11]. One goal of this escape room wasto provide an additional opportunity for students to practice skills and use equipment before theybegin an open-ended project at an appropriate challenge level [12]. Since self-efficacy (i.e., task-specific and situational confidence) can be increased with authentic mastery experiences [11], theescape room provides an opportunity to practice or demonstrate mastery of laboratory skills.

Thecourse content has been challenging for many students. Additionally, some students noted otherchallenges in the lab, e.g., reading labels on parts, lights, and lab bench layout. The goal of thisproject is to reduce these challenges with the content, space, and supplies.In the first phase of the project, the research team used methods from Universal Design forLearning (UDL), human centered design, and entrepreneurial minded learning to evaluate thelaboratory space and course materials and generate

resources available for instruction and assessment of these topics contributes to thechallenges in addressing these outcomes. Safety, teamwork, and communication have becomemore of a focus in the ChE laboratories in recent years, and thus the resources to teach and assessthem have emerged. A similar effort to develop projects and materials that focus on topics thatare harder to assess may be required if they will be prioritized as important learning outcomes forthe ChE laboratory courses.Only 8 of the 73 faculty respondents provided an answer to the last survey question, addressingChE lab course objectives not covered in the list provided.
