These disciplines were taught in a studioenvironment through group discussions and interactive individual and group projects. This redesign effort by students not only resulted in a refined curriculum for the E-Leadprogram, but also improved the course by increasing the feeling of community for incomingstudents and thereby increased retention in the course from 60% to 92% (measured by the ratioof students that completed the course to those enrolled as of census day).

What is needed is a basic processor with sufficientcomplexity that can be modified, programmed, and tested.An instructional processor has been developed for use as a design example in an AdvancedDigital Systems course at The Citadel.

As part ofNovel Engineering students develop projects based on texts they read in English Language Arts or othercontent classes, such as history. The characters become their clients and students pull information fromthe text to scope problems and set constraints as they engage in engineering design. The open-endeddesign context provides students with space to explore their ideas through engineering while workingtowards classroom goals. Teachers play an integral role in supporting student learning in engineering byproviding a supportive, responsive environment that will allow
