Even though main requirement atour university was for integrating VLSI chips, projects using commercially available chipswere also assigned.MCU based system design courses are offered at several universities. Our course was oneof the few that integrated PCB design with MCU-based system design to build systemsusing custom and commercially available VLSI chips. This course can be especially usefulfor hobbyists, future entrepreneurs, and researchers.2 BackgroundMCU based systems connect to the outside world via sensors and actuators. The MCUreads inputs

Yet, the rate at which postsecondarystudents are choosing to pursue computing disciplines is lagging, creating a deficit of computingprofessionals.

EducationAbstract—Women and minortized groups share a common sense of belonging or, moreaccurately, lack of a sense of belonging in STEM, which exacerbates their underrepresentation inSTEM education and careers. Furthermore, an abundance of literature demonstrates that thisshared lack of belonging negatively influences their academic performance and persistence. Inengineering education specifically, research indicates that a lack of belonging contributes toundergraduate student attrition regardless of gender and race/ethnicity.Therefore, we proposed a project entitled “Promoviendo el Éxito Estudiantil a través de unSistema de Apoyo (PromESA): Promoting Student Success through a Social, Academic, andInstitutional Support System in Engineering Education

The energy needs of the home, i.e.heating, cooling and electrical loads were to be met with renewable energy technologies they wereintroduced to through out the course. They were given a budget of $ 40,000 dollars for the renewableenergy systems and were asked to provide estimated payback timeframes for the technologies theychose. The project provided a creative and fun platform for the students to learn the significant impactengineering design can have on energy conservation.

Not only it is important to teachstudents the concept of design, it is also important for them to be able to “connect the dots”; bybeing able to apply tools, skills, and knowledge they gained, in design projects as well as in otherengineering courses. A great way to achieve this goal is through applied learning experiences.Applied learning is an instructional approach that includes various methods of teaching such as:project-based learning, hands-on learning, experience-based learning, service-learning, etc. In aneffort to provide freshman engineering technology students an applied learning experience, twoinnovative approaches have been developed and implemented to the freshman level
