The inquiry-based pedagogy model is based on Bloom and Krathwohl’s Taxonomy andBloom’s Revised Taxonomy2, which focuses on student-centered learning activities andinteractive skills.

The electronics course offers two levels of design experiencesto students: 1) circuits and electronics and 2) PCB designs for manufacturability. These twoexperiences incorporate microcontroller and environmental sensor interfaces, in addition toBluetooth connectivity and motor driver integration. As a result, this allows students to use thecircuit interfaces on their PCB to build complex systems for smart home, automation, mobile,and industrial applications.Herein, we detail the incorporation of PCB development in the

Acapstone project may require integration with a solar panel, motion sensor, or electronic keypad.But nowhere in the curriculum are students taught how to research parts, read data sheets, andverify operations, all necessary considerations before the design can progress.To address these challenges, a series of open-ended laboratory experiences were designed forfirst-semester seniors. These experiences were designed to be completed in two weeks (includingsix hours of lab time). With only a basic understanding of the functionality, and perhaps adatasheet, the students spend the first week tinkering with a part or system that they have notused before. They must learn how it responds to various

justice and behavioral ethicsresearch are concerned with questions of right and wrong, until recently, the study of ethicalbehavior at work has focused on them as two distinct scholarly traditions. Discussing theimportance of linking the two, they stated [7]: The process theories of justice offer an important avenue for integrating behavioural ethics research. If fairness decisions are made through a series of cognitive steps, then there are a number of stages in which ethical considerations could intervene. (p. 891)In the case of engineering education, Rottmann and Reeve [6] identified “a long-lasting divisionbetween ethics and equity in engineering education” (p. 146) and framed it as the micro/macrodivide.

In the next sections,we first briefly present some of what we consider be the main arguments and concepts of the theory,then we explain our methodology, and follow by discussing our analysis of the EER literature.2.

The feasibility of integrating the new PCB layout and manufacturing moduleinto the electric circuit course will be discussed. An experiment has been designed andconducted to assess the impact of the PCB module. A survey with questions from the MotivatedStrategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ) supplemented with additional questions was usedto measure students’ motivation and the impact of the PCB module on student learning.
