This embedded course is designed to teach data acquisition techniques, detailhardware operations in data processing, and how to drive peripheral components. While there aremany choices of microcontroller development boards such as Raspberry Pi and Arduino, thisembedded course and associated labs use hardware development boards based on Freescale (NXP)devices due to their simplicity and legacy. The same EE and COE students take a mandatory capstone design project course spanningtwo semesters in their senior year. Students, individually or in groups of two, propose a fewengineering problems to the faculty at the start of the first semester. After several iterations

In this course electrical engineering students learn about the basicprinciples of mechanical engineering. In an effort to understand how students view the 3Cs, the students are asked toselect a specific project which could be a new or a previous project from a different course.

A common desireof undergraduates in EE (and we suspect across engineering in general) is for more “hands-on”experiences. What little they get tends to be later in their college career; however, as the Do-It-Yourself (DIY)/Make culture continues to grow, more of our students are walking in the doorready and willing to “get their hands dirty” on
