The teams wereassembled during the first week of winter semester, starting on January 22, 2002. The contestwas held at the University of Evansville on March 15-17, 2002.

The most intriguing of these are the assessment tools– quizzes and surveys.One of the most potentially useful and time-saving features is the online quizzes. In CE 373,reading assignments with specific reading objectives have been assigned. Periodic pop quizzeswere administered to check that students were doing the reading. However, losing 10 minutes ofseveral lectures to give the quizzes and taking 1-2 hours to grade each quiz are significantdrawbacks to this assessment method. The Blackboard online quizzes offer a solution to theseproblems.Blackboard quizzes can be written with many types of questions. Images can be added to thequestions or the answers.

However, too many connecting wires on thebreadboard make the circuit cluttered and almost impossible to trace bugs in case the circuitfails to work. The problems could be anywhere from a faulty circuit design to the connectionsbeing loose and the board itself getting bad due to aging. Two major undesirable outcomes wereobserved in using this traditional way of learning, i) dissatisfactions of the learners and therebyreluctance to learn the subject and ii) difficult to complete a planned syllabus on time. It hasbeen found that, as the circuits become more involved, it is a good idea to switch over

The distinct advantageof completing their math and science at the Academy is that those classes will be comprised of ahomogeneous population of students with similar interests and skills. In addition, as noted above,the concepts taught in the core classes are enhanced and enriched in the engineering classes.As was pointed out by the university representatives in the early planning stages, many of thestudents are also actively involved in extra-curricular activities at their high school
