Computer Systems Design (CPET 4053) were revamped withpilot modules. The above mentioned classes were offered in spring and/or fall 2014 semesters.Students’ feedbacks were collected through class surveys. Computer Science II (COMP 1224) is a four credit-hour class with four hours for teaching andone hour for computer laboratory. It is continuation of CS1 “Computer Science I” with continuedemphasis on program development techniques, array based lists, pointers, basic linked lists,classes, abstraction, data hiding, polymorphism, inheritance, stacks and queues. There were 34students enrolled in spring 2014 semester when basic parallelism concepts, including threads,data sharing, synchronization, and thinking problem solving in parallel were

A, D, R 3Experiments/laboratory exercises B, H 2AssessmentIt showed to be difficult to analyse the reports with respect to how students see themselvesassess their pupils on the subject technical systems. All of them state that assessment shalltake place, but a careful reading of the evaluation criteria showed that 8 out of 12 reportscontained only the general assessment criteria stated by the National agency of education(Skolverket). These are intended for the contents of the technology subject as a whole, and notto be used for specific tasks or projects.Four out of 12 students made their own assessment criteria based on their teaching activities,presented in the

the fall of 2014. This class was co-taught by professors from the MechanicalEngineering Technology (MET), Electrical Engineering Technology (EET) and the Computerand Information Technology (CIT) programs at Purdue University.The goal of this paper is to document the activities carried out during the semester the coursewas taught and present the lessons learned from teaching multidisciplinary students with thebackgrounds in MET, EET and CIT.The objective of the course was to provide a Project Based Learning (PBL) experience for thestudents. Students were tasked to specify, design, and develop prototype sub-systems for existingrobots. During the semester, the students attended lectures and participated in laboratories thatwere heavily focused

training. Engineering laboratories mayinvolve measurement of dynamic processes since physical quantities measured bysensors such as temperature, humidity, pressure, displacement, voltage, current,etc., are continuous in nature. To improve the quality of measurement data thereis a need to remove unwanted signals associated with the measured input signal;hence self-compensation algorithms are formulated for implementation in thesensor nodes. It is noted that presentations that use both visual and auditory stylesreinforce learning for most students. Indeed, students’ learning may be motivatedand students’ engagement and comprehension of fundamental engineeringprinciples (or concepts) may be increased by a teaching style that balancesconcrete
