The NSF STEPprogram seeks to increase the number of students (U.S. citizens or permanent residents)receiving associate or baccalaureate degrees in established or emerging fields within science,technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The STEP project at UCF, called theEXCEL program, was a 5-year program funded in 2006 which has since been

The first in-lab task is for the students to enter either theirSOP or POS circuits into the Xilinx schematic editor. Since this is the first time that the studentswill actually use the schematic editor, a short introduction to this portion of the Xilinx softwareis provided. After successfully entering their schematic, students must simulate their design usingthe provided test fixture.

Chalupnik4 also concluded that industry will benefitfrom engineers who have better understanding of uncertainty, how it impacts projects, and howprocesses could be made less sensitive to the effects of uncertain events. According to the aboveclaims and others, it has become extremely apparent that the concept of uncertainty isunavoidable in the area of engineering design. Hence, there is a need to train engineers with anappreciation of uncertainty in the design process and for DUU to be part of the undergraduate Page 24.468.6engineering curriculum.Thunnissen5 indicated that in the last two decades, research in uncertainty in the field

The learning objectives for the course state that studentswill learn about embedded systems, i.e., electrical systems that contain embedded computers tocontrol processes. At the completion of the course, each student should have actively participatedas a member of an engineering design team and made significant contributions to achieving theteam’s mission. Each design project involves the collaborative development and evaluation of aproduct that contains an embedded computer. Our
