Much workremains to be done.EpilogueWe made some changes in spring 2019 to the sequence of activities in the course described inthis study. The faculty implementing these activities are doing so because the activities havebeen integrated into the common curriculum for this course. After some discussions with thefaculty at the end of fall 2018, we moved the panel of engineers to the second course in this first-year engineering series. The faculty felt the content of this activity was a better fit with thecurriculum in the second class. Also, this second class only had three grant related activities

Although new knowledge has to be acquired in the area ofBoolean algebra, this new content is a very natural extension of the regular algebra that mostengineering students are already very comfortable with. Because of this non-reliance on calculus,digital logic projects make prime candidates for
