Wewill attempt to add quantitative elements to all qualitative aspects of the course. This may requireus to teach economic analyses for decision making by drawing parallels to environmentaleconomics. To augment, we will also continue to improve our collaborations with engineeringpractitioners, EWB, and aid groups to develop more case studies, particularly ones withquantitative analysis components.Additionally, our dream is to have permanent installations of the project demonstrations on ourcampus in an outdoor laboratory

experiential learning. This can beas complicated as laboratory experiences or projects, or as simple as providing students an activerole in lecture. To facilitate student involvement in a lecture format, students must be prepared tocontribute to the discussion of new material.One common model for experiential learning is the Kolb Experiential Learning Cycle [1,2], whichhas four steps: 1. Introduction of new experience, 2. Reflection on this experience, 3. Abstractionof this experience, and 4. Application of this experience. An essential component of this cycle isallowing students the time to reflect on new experiences. If students are introduced to a new topicduring lecture, little reflection can take place prior to abstraction or application of that

Other students in the course include upper level students thattook the course out of sequence from the traditional plan of study. Due to the volume of students,the course offered two large auditorium style lecture sections and multiple (32) smallerlaboratory sections. Each week students would meet in their smaller laboratory classes,maximum of 32 students.

Not only were students eager to learn microcontroller basics, instructors also recognizedthat by introducing students to these skills, the resulting projects may be higher quality and therange of design challenges that can be assigned may be broadened.Use of microcontroller technology in freshman level courses is not new, and these concepts havebeen taught through in-person laboratory instruction with positive results at numerousuniversities [2], [3], [6].

In atypical engineering course, 30−40% of the education is carried out as lectures, 30−40% aslessons and 20−40% as laboratory experiments. In addition, case studies and project works areused in about half of the courses. Some projects are small (down to 15% of the course workload)and some may make up the whole course.In the present study, two courses are of interest. One is a course in Engineering thermodynamicswhich both the ME, DPD and IEM students take; the ME students as the very first course of theprogram, and the PDP and IEM students at the middle of the second year.
