This first-year course for engineering and technology students at acommunity college emphasizes working in teams to complete hands-on activities using EXCELand structured programming with MATLAB.Initial assignments involve using EXCEL to display and analyze data from Ohm’s Law and thespeed of sound in air. The next assignment requires distance measuring with ultrasound anddesigning an ultrasonic range-finder. In the remainder of the assignments over the final three-quarters of the semester, MATLAB is used as a structured programming language to first controlthe movement of a stepper-motor rotor and then to identify different translucent materials fromtheir visible light spectra as measured by a spectrometer.

attitudes in students are developed using structuredlectures, laboratory session, and projects. For most of the students, it is very difficult to see theconnection between topics covered in the lectures or in the course. Thus, there is an urgent needfor focusing student attention towards the fundamental or core ideas related to the topic underdiscussion as take away points. We implement a teaching approach with “thought bubbles”,commonly used in arts and cartoons, to present core ideas to students as discussion questions.“Thought bubbles” (aka clouds) are used to pose as introductory questions for initiatinglecture/discussion and as concluding thoughts. This approach helps student to be attentive and tograsp what will be covered during the session
