will represent a highly effective department. Very similarly,collective actions and decisions are critical, but can only develop from truly collective dialog.In doing so, a chair should not attempt to ‘homogenize’ the members, but rather assemble aneffective mix of skills and expertise, which can contribute to the collective dialog in majorways. Rewarding faculty collectively may seem inappropriate or at times counter to ourindividual senses; however, it simply displays collective ‘attention’.In a typical engineering department, faculty members are most concerned with their owncourses and projects. Therefore, the chair must be able to provide an atmosphere wherefaculty sees their individual goals reached through meeting departmental goals. As

The goal was to introduce this excitingfield into the program including introductory course modules, undergraduate electives, graduatecourses, and research projects. This paper reports results from an undergraduate ECET electiveand a graduate course. Students participating in the graduate course range in technology majorssuch as electrical, mechanical, aviation, industrial, and computer graphics.

I. Background It was a very challenging task to identify a well-designed embedded system platform foreducators. The platform can be used in project-based engineering classes, for example, capstonedesign in senior year. Most commercial off the shelf (COT) platforms were tailored for specificapplications. Some of them were very hardware orientated with very rigid features. This workdemonstrated a programmable embedded system design platform based on Intel FPGA and COTcomponents. The platform can be replicated very easily and economically, which is verysuitable for educators. Engineering students can use this platform to design and implementapplications with visual display.

. Such historical thinking is critical to develop engineers capable ofresisting “the tyranny of the urgent”, submit to “the democracy of the dead”, and resist the anti-historical influence of social media and neo-marxist indoctrination [21], [22].Case studies in civil engineering education are often based on large scale projects that wereground-breaking in design or resulted in major failure. Commonly seen examples include thecollapses of the walkway in Kansas City Hyatt Regency or the Tacoma Narrows Bridge [23],[24]. A variety of assignment and assessment models exist in literature to direct students to focuson technical or ethical content [16], [23]–[28].

Sometimes, students are provided with activitysheets and then asked to complete the code on them. Next, each student is paired with another classmatesitting closely, so they can correct each other’s code. In this activity, students are encouraged to peerreview their classmates’ works by assessing the code performance, making comments, and suggestingimprovements. This student peer review process could enhance student motivation and fostercollaborative learning, and meanwhile help the instructor to manage large groups and promote theteaching effectiveness in a large-size classroom.To further enhance the engagement
