challenges.Examples of these challenges include integrating FPGAs with sensors to achieve intelligenthome energy management or optimizing air conditioners for precise temperature control. Theoverarching goal was to explore a range of science and math concepts, such as binary arithmetic,Boolean logic, combinational circuits, finite state machines, and memory read-and-writeprocesses. Additionally, students had the opportunity to engage with guest speakers who areexperts and role models in the field of computer hardware engineering.Measures and data sourcesBefore and after the seminar, students completed Romine et al.'s [15] Student Interest inTechnology and Science (SITS) survey.

deployment.Future work. This paper has presented a proof-of-concept version of our application, Walkand Draw. As such, we envision the following efforts as future work. First, we aim to revisethe interface to provide a more user-friendly experience. Second, we plan to incorporate bettermechanisms for saving and sharing student work. Third, we plan to deploy Walk and Drawto our target population of students to ensure that our application satisfies their needs.AcknowledgementsFinancial support for this project was provided by Grand Valley State University.

A revised approach to syllabus review was developed within the technical contract reviewframework which demands the reviewer pays attention to the details and ensures all aspects arecompliant to the intent(s). The instructor incorporated aspects of this framework into anassessment assigned after students were instructed to read the syllabus (Farmer & Hu, 2018). Thisassessment included select-response and open-ended questions that guided the student in thepractice of technical contract review.

relating the material to real-world use. Also, I would like to highlight TA (because I don't see a specific spot for him) because he has been an incredibly valuable resource for the lab portion of this class. He has been the most attentive and helpful TA I have ever had. He will always help you understand the material and has done a great job supporting the students.In addition, Students suggested to improve the course. The suggestion request sentence was“Make a suggestion(s) for improving the course.” All the responses were as follows. o The lab sessions can be extended. I really liked the content and the material during lab sessions. The only improvement could be having more time to practice with more lab sessions
and workforce development. We aregrateful for the valuable inputs we received from professional organizations, particularly theInstitute of Transportation Engineers and the North Carolina Department of Transportation, indesigning the program. We would also like to thank the anonymous reviewers for their helpfulcomments and suggestions. Finally, we extend our gratitude to the program evaluator, thesupport team at Suitable, and the administrative staff at NCA&T, especially Deborah Hamptonand Nicholas Allen, for their assistance with all program components.7 References 1.
