of a new embedded curriculumtargeted to powerful embedded processors. This includes the design of a brand-new seniorundergraduate course along with a comprehensive tutorial on high-performance embeddedprogramming. We provided students with carefully designed activities that emphasize theoptimal usage of powerful microprocessors for embedded applications. The students becameproficient in techniques to maximize the performance of an embedded application by optimizingthe use of computer resources via techniques such as parallelism and pipelining. The embedded curriculum was deployed in a classroom and a laboratory setting. The learningmaterials (course notes, assignments, laboratory experiments, step-by-step tutorials) are madefreely

Prior to working with the garden lights, the students have become familiarwith basic circuit analysis techniques (Ohm’s law and Kirchhoff’s laws), energy, power, andefficiency as well as basic diode and solar cell operation. These concepts come together and aresolidified by the solar garden light laboratory exercises. Most students have seen the gardenlights outside of class but are not familiar with their components and operation. Severalmanufacturers and models of garden lights were investigated, and all were found to be easilydisassembled without damage and modified as necessary to allow access to the required systemparameters (voltages and currents).

As a part of the process of becoming an interdisciplinary physics and engineeringdepartment, and based on prior success at teaching physics with open-ended projects in theupper-level undergraduate curriculum [1], we are studying how these projects can also be used toteach engineering skills and principles. Of particular interest to us are questions related to i) howbest to use existing assets (e.g. laboratory equipment, faculty expertise) within a physics andengineering department to create a thriving engineering laboratory curriculum, and ii) to

However, this effectiveand widely implemented approach is limited in execution because of safety concerns, budgets, the numberof participants, visibility, and available space. In addition, physical testing environments must be properlyinstrumented to showcase system changes and operations, which can be costly and time-intensive.
