then significant changes have been made to this course in order to make itmore enjoyable and effective in retaining students. Some of these changes include theestablishment of a departmental template used to prepare the materials that are distributed to thestudents, the inclusion of virtual instruments such as the NI myDAQ and Labview, and thereplacement of PSpice with NI Multisim and Ultiboard. The last two software utilities have madethe fabrication of PCBs easier for the students and faculty. Furthermore, the students are requiredto use the NI myDAQ in some of their laboratories and in the final project which some of themalso include the use of Labview.

Unlike the traditional approach, however, each of thefoundation courses includes a mix of these topics, presented in a variety of disciplinary contexts.A solid background is developed by touching key concepts at several points along the spiral indifferent courses, adding depth and sophistication at each pass. Each foundation course alsostresses the development of several essential skills, such as problem-solving, oral and writtencommunication, the design process, teamwork, project management, computer analysis methods,laboratory investigation, data analysis and model development.

Prince defines active learning as “any instructional method that engages the students in thelearning process.” [1] Many educational institutions were forced to conduct their classes onlinedue to COVID-19, at least at the start of the pandemic. This presented a problem for manyinstructors to maintain student interest in lab based courses for which students were unable toattend in person. As a result many labs were taught virtually or were simulated. For this reason,development of hands-on hardware-based projects or labs that do not require the students
