The program requires the use of thePython scripting language throughout upper division coursework. The department is changing itscurriculum to introduce coding in the 1st-year physics sequence. To reinforce these skills, theelectronics course will introduce the use of Jupyter Notebooks (JN) as the laboratory notebookformat. A JN is a web-based platform that allows students to create cells of code or text. Textcells provide a platform for students to describe the “what, why, and how” of theirmeasurements. Code cells can run Python (or many other programming languages) code. Thisallows

It is easy to create illusions for students that hands-onpractices in college will not be relevant in future real work, potentially leading to loss of interestor decreased attention to hands-on practices. As an integral part of professional trainings, hands-on practice with any weakness in college can limit not only students’ education performance butalso their future work abilities. According to the author’s observation, there has been asignificant change in student study habits nowadays, especially after the pandemic. Whileadvanced technologies have been employed to aid students in education, they also presentchallenges. This work aims to enhance

As themodules are covered in lecture, students are given laboratory problems that involve interfacingthe 68332 to external circuitry. The individual labs lead up to a final project that is completedduring the last four weeks of the semester.

By highlighting thevisual feedback aspect of graphical techniques, system level simulation, and complex designsthroughout the course, we have been able to demonstrate the criticality of tool usage inapplication development. We assign homework problems that need to be solved usingMATLAB. Additionally we assign multiple projects based upon MATLAB and work with thestudents in the laboratory to take their fear out of the usage of the tool and turn them into toolchampions.

Foranother part of the exhibit, seniors in the Mechanical Engineering Laboratory (ME Lab)course built a wind turbine display complete with LED lights to show the magnitude ofthe power produced when a fan was operated at various speeds. Another team of seniorsin ME Lab instrumented wall simulations to measure the temperature drop acrossdifferent insulation materials. A similar display on the effects of window treatments(single pane, double pane, and double pane with low E) was also developed. The desiredresult of these efforts is an energy display which will educate the general public onrelevant energy issues. The display
