classroom and as homework, that use of the approach be integrated in both classand lab settings, and that use be expanded to course pre-requisites as well as follow up/advancedcourses. Overall, the use of experimental centric approaches to learning and teaching appears tooffer a promising method of increasing and enhancing circuits based classes so that futureengineers will be better able to meet the needs of a rapidly changing world. Further research isneeded on the role of faculty teaching style, specific course content, and long-term achievementoutcomes.References: 1. Suitts, S.
