IntroductionA course on electric circuits has long been one of the core courses in a traditional engineeringcurriculum, providing a basic foundation for students specializing in a variety of disciplines. Atypical first semester engineering course on electric circuits such as Circuit Analysis emphasizeslinear, discrete elements such as the voltage and/or current source, resistor (R), capacitor (C) andinductor (L), focusing on how to find simplified equivalent circuit

We are currently further testing ourhypothesis that gamification and two-way teaching should not simply be the addition of gamerules to course content but to replicate the intrinsic motivation that comes from playing a game.In the near future we plan to further improve our lesson plans to better fit the student’s interestsand background.

interested in student attitudes andsubsequent performance. To accomplish this, we will continue to track a single cohort ofstudents from material balances through the remainder of their career in the chemicalengineering program. We will keep track of student retention, subsequent courses and respectiveinstructors, as well as performance, attitudes, and external experiences such as research orinternships. We also are in the planning stages of a more homogeneous course model for materialbalances. The revised course model will focus on exposing students to problems that engage thefull spectrum of learning styles. As learning styles describe the cognitive processes involved ininformation gathering and problem solving, we believe it is important to teach

To achieve deeper understanding and learning, it was considered prudent to provide some facility which could be used to access additional internal register and/or control signal values. Unassigned output pins and seven segment decoders were setup for such additional registers and control signals as seen in Figure 9. Even though reassigning pins will decrease accessibility to standard registers, a user or a designer can observe and verify the internal working of a module for planned system improvement or expansion.Figure 8: Locations of WIMP51 register and control signal access as part of the standard viewing

program. Ourcareful planning has supported the success of the program and preparation of our students.Our biggest concern now is how to support this program once funding from CIRM ends. Whilethere are potential workarounds for the cost of running our laboratory courses, our largest costsare associated with the stipend our students receive during their 9-month internship. Studentscurrently receive a stipend of $2,652 a month for their internship. For 10 students, this costamounts to $238,680 for the duration of their internship. From discussions with our AdvisoryCommittee, this is a necessary component of the internship portion of our program. We arecurrently looking at various alternatives to support the continuation of the program as it

This process is punctuated by aTeam Update Meeting (TUM) with the team and the instructor, which has a similar structure tothe first meeting. Finally, the team submits a process recipe (or multiple recipes for multiplereactors) for release to high volume manufacturing and presents an oral and written report.

In fact, these are topics wellknown and widely discussed in the educational literature.13,15 It is the plan in future POGILimplementations to move the course towards a mastery driven rather than performance drivenassessment strategy. Specifically, the goal will be to reduce reliance on a few high stakes examby instead providing multiple paths, activities, and opportunities for students build self-efficacyand demonstrate mastery of the stated learning objectives.

Students demonstrated a higher level of interest in the program, with more than half thestudents asking faculty for help with outside projects.

For example, if“e-Portfolios” is covered in “Engineering 1,” then that outcome receives a checkmark (or a 1).On the other hand, if “e-Portfolios” is not covered, then the outcome is not checked (or is given a0).
