University.Development of the Embedded RTOS Educational Platform The embedded RTOS educational platform consists of two parts: the Modular IntegratedStackable Layer (MISL) intelligent layer and the analog system environment (ASE) board(Figure 1). The MISL intelligence layer, typically the TI-MSP430F5438A, can be directlyinterfaced to the ASE board. The RTOS platform has integrated numerous typical analog devicesand new communication technologies into RTOS curriculum education, which mainly includesMISL architecture, inputs and outputs, analog and digital signal conversion, and wired &wireless communications. This platform is also designed for embedded systems education fromentry-level courses at the sophomore level to final Capstone Design projects

However,other areas such as a student’s engagement in the campus community [2][3], relationships withother students [1], and understanding how to use campus resources[3], are addressable withinintroductory courses. For this project, researchers present preliminary results from a studydesigned to increase student retention in a first-year engineering program by implementingcourse activities that encourage students to become engaged in the campus community and betterunderstand how to use existing campus resources.The pilot study occurred during the fall 2017 semester at a regional university that catersprimarily

Experiential learning allows teams ofstudents to work collaboratively on projects to meet established design objectives. Through on-going critiques, discussion within teams and feedback from the instructor, students develop theirown solutions to design problems. These projects teach students how to apply basic math andscience principles to a practical problem, to integrate concepts from other courses, and tounderstand the engineering
