seems to be one that uses both types of exercises: non-real-time and real-time. Withregard to non-real-time exercises, it’s clear that interactive learning, exercises, and demonstrations to stu-dents using off-line methods are very useful for helping them to build an initial mental model.2–6 However,taking the next step by requiring students to make the transition to real-time DSP implementations has beenshown to cement a more complete understanding of DSP topics.7Since the late 1990’s, the authors of this paper have reported on proven DSP teaching methodologies,hardware and software solutions, and various DSP tools that have helped motivate both students and facultyto implement real-time DSP-based systems, and thereby improve education in

As theinstructor has likely studied the subject in-depth and taught it many times it can be difficult forthem to recall what was confusing to them when they learned it the first time, while the studentsin the course can be keenly aware of where confusion is arising. Peer tutoring is a practicewhich takes advantage of this to improve student learning by having students learn from otherstudents. It is important to note that peer tutoring can be accomplished in a variety of ways andTopping1 identifies ten dimensions which can be varied depending on the specificimplementation used: 1. curriculum content covered by peer tutors 2. number of tutors and tutees 3. tutor and tutee year(s) of study – tutors could be from same year of study or

engineer’s career builds off oftheir experiences, skills learned, and relationships made. It is common for an engineer to movepositions almost yearly so that s/he can gain valuable skill sets in his/her early years at acompany. From each new team, the engineer learns what they enjoy and whom they enjoyworking with. Each of these experiences plays an important role in where the engineer movesnext. Companies want to invest time and money in employees that are hard workers and get jobsdone efficiently and effectively. By succeeding in a certain position, a person can set themselvesup well for their next project.Figure. 3.

Initially the course was designed in accordancewith the general profile of mechatronic engineers and their work environment as well as theparticularities of the region. On this basis, axes of knowledge were created and the necessaryskills defined, while taking into account the government‟s curricular guidelines.The formal disciplines provided the knowledge base and some practice, but were

activities for undergraduate engineering students.IntroductionIn the late 1990’s and early 2000’s, scholarship in American engineering education underwent afundamental shift as a result of two distinct events: restructuring of the accreditationrequirements of ABET, Inc. (previously known as the Accreditation Board for Engineering andTechnology) in 1997 and the publication of the National Academy of Engineering “Engineer of2020” reports in 2004 and 20051. These reform efforts stemmed from calls from the Americanprofessional engineering community citing a consistent need for professional, communicative,and innovative engineers in the workplace2, and led to the creation of numerous experimentalpedagogies, programs, and other initiatives to encourage

changing the design objective, goal, and constraints between years, all teamswill compete on a level playing field.A short activity has been developed to present and reinforce the concepts of design formanufacturability. The activity is highly reusable; for example, by simply adjusting thedesignated costs or earning per widget each year, a previous year’s winning design can berendered ineffective given the new constraints. Further, this activity is not discipline-specific;we expect that it is well suited for students in all engineering fields.6. References[1] K. T. Ulrich and S. D.
