specifically, rather than re-viewing lectures, there may be otheractivities that students could be performing outside of class that would be more beneficial (e.g.,working on programming exercises, summarizing material, etc.). Recent studies on “flipped”delivery have pointed out that online lectures (especially in multiple courses) can requirestudents to spend considerable time outside of classroom that could be spent on other (possiblymore productive) activities13.In our future work in this area, we plan to explore the differences between in-class and onlinelearning more directly by comparing student cohorts in traditional, in-class lectures to those withsupplemental online resources as described in this paper.

The multi-disciplinary course includes students from computer engineering, manufacturingengineering, mechanical engineering, plastics engineering, and engineering and technologyprograms. The elements of the system design process are emphasized in the capstone class.Students have the opportunity to obtain hands-on experiences from working in a team-orientedenvironment. Essential concepts such as project planning, designing, and scheduling areemphasized throughout the team project. In addition to the invaluable, practical technicalexperience, the capstone project enables students to develop their communication skills througha visual and oral presentation before an audience of peers, faculty, and invited experts

A take-home laboratory kit called The BitBox©which incorporates The BitBoard and a DE1 is also described. The paper discusses the results ofa student survey on the usefulness and reliability of the device and the kit. Observations andresults of the survey suggest that The BitBoard and The BitBox are effective educational toolsfor teaching digital logic fundamentals and have a range of application well beyond the localenvironment. The BitBoard and provides a seamless way to bridge the gap from basic gate-levelexperiments to advanced FPGA projects using an integrated take home laboratory kit.IntroductionThis

The steps that each ofthese kits focus on are planning, defining the design criteria or success criteria, brainstorming,prototyping, testing, and iterating. Before and after the activity students take a survey thatassesses their understanding of the engineering design process and queries how they wouldallocate time in a similar challenge based on the steps of the design process.We detail the student and faculty experiences and provide preliminary data from our pilotdeployment of these kits.
