need to learn embeddeddevelopment comes up repeatedly in the context of our capstone senior design experience, and hasresulted in the individual instruction of many students at our institution, over many years, often in theform of guided tutorials. While effective enough to support the capstone course, this approach does notexpose every student that wants to acquire this skill set with the opportunity to do so; such instruction islimited to those students that need to learn the skills to support a project. It also lacks the efficiency of aclassroom approach.Microcontroller skills can be acquired today without formal instruction. Students can learn much of thismaterial on their own through the “Maker Movement” [2], in which makers learn through

. Finding a common platformto use in many classes allows the instruction time devoted to microcontrollers to be distributed sothat the new topic can be added without cutting significantly into the existing curriculum.Rather than taking one microcontroller class near their senior year, the students will be exposedto microcontrollers as early as their freshman or sophomore years, and will gain experience withthe same hardware in several classes. There are several advantages to this approach compared toadding a standalone technical elective to the curriculum.The primary advantage is that students learn the material early in their education and have adeveloped skill set ready to apply to capstone design projects. There is not much prerequisiteknowledge

graduateprogram draws students nationally and internationally, many of the students come from theregion. The graduate program has grown from six students in the 2004-05 academic year to 22students in 2009-10. Much of this growth can be attributed to the broad array of technical topicsand ability to recruit undergraduates by exposing them to challenging topics that give them aglimpse of masters-level topics. The primary mode for providing this exposure has been thesenior capstone project course sequence1, but additionally, there have been several independentstudy projects that have shown undergraduate ET students the challenges that lie in the graduateprogram.The Rapid Center houses a wide array of high-tech machinery, such as rapid prototyping(Stratasys

While all students take design coursesleading to their senior capstone projects, they do not all build prototypes of their work. Typically,in naval architecture and marine engineering programs, PBL projects focus on building smallmodels due to time, space, and cost issues with using full-scale vessels.
