In thispaper, we will elaborate the steps that should be taken by the institutions of higher education inorder to graduate students with these types of qualities and be more prepared for the job market.Hands-on ExercisesThe learning style for current generation has changed. Experience shows that many students donot spend very much of their time on reading textbooks. They do not enjoy reading the theory,but they really enjoy learning by doing. Working on homework and exercises is not appreciatedby them but they really like implementing the projects and

While there is good evidencethat agency and self-efficacy are critical for student success [5], relatively little is known aboutwhat agency looks like in maker contexts, nor how it develops over time. In this paper, weinvestigate if and how student agency develops within a high school maker program.Theoretical FrameworkSelf-efficacy is an individual’s belief in their ability to complete tasks in a given domain [6].

The class uses the text “Signal Processing First”, by McClellan,Schafer, Yoder, published by Prentice Hall, to introduce discrete-time signal processing. In thepast, a series of MATLAB based mini-projects were used in addition to homework to reinforce theDSP concepts. The new version of the class uses the same mini-projects except that they arebased on LabVIEW.Several quarters
