CCLI project, seeks to improve undergraduate learning by developing small-scale, portableexperiments for inclusion into a wide selection of Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE)lecture-based courses. Since these courses currently do not have labs associated with them, theseexperiments add a hands-on active learning component to the courses. The labs developed aspart of this project include ones for digital logic, circuits, signals and systems, control systems,power generation, random processes, and electromagnetics. The labs are described in this paperalong with the web support. Best practices and assessment methods are also discussed.IntroductionDistributed laboratories contain portable experiments that can be done in various locations

Itcan also provide course coordinators with strategies for engaging project and industry advisorsand for positioning the role of practice-oriented courses across the curriculum.However, little if any work to date explores faculty motivation with respect to design education.To address this gap, this paper analyzes secondary interviews conducted with capstone designfaculty; the interviews focus specifically on teaching

Many instructors and institutions are introducing solid modeling within thebeginning graphics curriculum. Anyone that took an engineering graphics course beforethe middle 1980’s remembers the traditional approach to graphics. Topics covered at aminimum usually consisted of geometric construction, lettering, multiview projection,and dimensioning. Are these topics still important today? Almost anyone with experi-ence in the graphics industry and with experience teaching engineering graphics can pre-sent a logical argument for or against the topics listed above.

Then,the concept of the time value of money was introduced, and this led naturally to discounting andthe calculation of present value. Exercises for this section of the course were derived from realdata obtained from the world-wide-web to demonstrate to the students that the skills they werelearning were in use, and useful. Methods for valuing simple projects involving the purchase oflong-term assets were then explored, including a discussion of why simple-minded rules inwidespread use such as the payback period method could lead to incorrect decisions.

challenges they will address(Leijon, Gudmundsson, Staaf, and Christersson, 2022). Since problem-based learning has been effective in learning and improving CT skills(Ulger, 2018), it is always recommended to be utilized within the projects and assign-ments of engineering education. Based on these definitions, the challenging feature ofproblems can impact the student’s critical thinking though they are completely dif-ferent concepts. That is our main motivation to investigate this issue and recommendapproaches to distinguish these two terms for instructors and students of computer andsoftware engineering courses.
