This course has added new learning outcomes toaccommodate laboratory experience as well as use of simulation software to enhance studentengagement and at the same time provide the students with multiple options that encouragedifferent learning styles. The course has been designed for four credit hours consisting of 180minutes of lecture time, 120 minutes of laboratory time and 60 minutes of tutoring time everyweek of the fourteen week semester. The contact time has been distributed so as to promotescaffolding of the learning process. The learning outcomes established for this course includeABET1 outcomes ‘a’ and ‘e’ as well as

simultaneously so that each group could work on an individual experiment. Each session consisted of an introduction to the principles of the experiment followed by an explanation of the safety procedures. For each experiment, a group leader was chosen and the students were assigned specific tasks involving data collection and analysis. The scholars were requested to obtain specific information and then encouraged to attempt additional work of their own design. Most of the experiments required the students to make a plot of their data, which was done on the computer. Some of the laboratories required "sophisticated calculations" and the teaching assistant prepared a spreadsheet for these calculations. The engineering laboratories and major equipment are

. Some of statistics are due to teaching approaches that are not suitable for currentpopulations of students that learn and acquire new knowledge quite differently from those ofearlier generations. Several new pedagogical paradigms have been proposed to improveengineering education, such as the use of “hands-on” tools to change the learning style in theengineering classroom to more engaging teaching pedagogies. An approach that is being usedto engage and inspire the electrical and computer engineering freshman students is the ElectricalEngineering Practicum.

This paper presents a sequence of two courses tomeet the above needs in the undergraduate electronics courses: Analog Electronics and Digital Electronics.The courses use top-down instruction starting from the system level followed by component levelunderstanding. The first course is oriented to teach the system level input-output characteristics of analogelectronic components and subsystems. The second course focuses on teaching the modern digital ICs andtheir applications, the design of high speed switching circuits using the modern electronic design automation(EDA) tools.
