The projectsare also contextualized for students to help real world issues and are approachable for studentswho have no experience in the topic. Lastly, each module encourages facilitators to shareresources and career pathways available at the national labs in these areas. This approach

Common Programmatic FeaturesAll of the Foundation Coalition institutions use a cohort or cluster system and blockschedule some of their freshmen students, and often some sophomore students as well,for two or more courses. [The terms “cohort” and “cluster” are used interchangeably; inthis report we primarily use “cohort.”] This structure is usually connected to an integratedcurriculum, which means that the faculty teaching those courses work together, to agreater or lesser degree, to provide coordinated instruction to these students. For thefreshman curriculum, that means that faculty work across disciplines. For example, somecombination of engineering, mathematics, physics, chemistry, and, at times, Englishcourses are scheduled for students as a

Educators are therefore challenged to adapt to advances in embedded systemswhile maintaining courseware that is broken into simple building blocks capable of maintainingcontinuity along the growth path. This requires a rich hands-on curriculum that encapsulatesmodular hardware, software, and courseware that can scale from fundamental concepts to moreadvanced topics.This paper introduces a modular demonstration, development and learning hardware platformand an example set of progressive laboratory exercises that help to meet this challenge.

In mostengineering programs, the theoretical analysis is delivered to students via a series of courses, suchas Statics, Dynamics, Materials of Mechanics.
