Society for Engineering Education, 2015 Innovative Embedded Systems ProjectAbstractThe goal of an Embedded Design course is to teach programming, embedded circuits and softwarealgorithms. There are also related goals, such as learning to use development tools, lab equipmentand proper debugging techniques. There are tangential goals such as working in teams andpreparation for senior/capstone projects. And while there are a variety of approaches to teaching,the common theme is that you want the students to be successful and understand the material asthoroughly as possible.Each year, there are new peripherals, new processors and most engineering departments do not takea static approach to education and try to include more

without exposureto real-world projects during the course of the technical education may neither develop theseimportant skills nor gain sufficient motivation to pursue careers in engineering. We thereforebelieve that the introduction of challenge-based engineering curricula and/or projects will createa favorable atmosphere for creativity, innovation, increased participation and teamwork.In this paper, we present the experiences and student learning outcomes when a group ofundergraduate students from diverse science and engineering disciplines (non-ocean engineeringdisciplines) were exposed to challenge-based ocean engineering project. The team consisted of 7undergraduate students (1 freshman, 2 sophomores, 2 juniors, and 2 seniors) from
called ‘Construct for Practice’ (C4P) in an effort toprovide students with context-rich experiences. In addition to merging the topic-specific content,the C4P laboratory is co-convened among sophomore, junior and senior levels to facilitate theincorporation of design and project management functions into the building process. Theresulting laboratory is both horizontally integrated (among topics) and vertically integrated(among roles). Now, after four complete semesters of implementation, graduates of the CMprogram have experienced the complete cycle of the laboratory. This paper describes how thelaboratory curriculum has developed over time, presenting a summary of lessons learned, costsassociated with the laboratory and recommendations for

Students learning outcomes were evaluated using pre and post survey,focus group’s evaluation, and peer evaluation. A sensitivity analysis was also conducted tojustify effectiveness of new learning outcomes. All students agreed that the course projectincreased their knowledge and skills to solve engineering problems in global settings. About92% students responded that the project increased their interest about different cultures andmulti-perspective analysis, and 72% students, up 52% from pre-survey, said that the project washelpful understanding engineering and

,graduate students, and faculty. This paper analyzes the student learning outcomes, forEngineering and Engineering Technology (E&ET) programs, where the curriculum has beentailored to include undergraduate research, as compared to lecture & lab-based curriculum.Previous research, on which the present work is based, shows that research projects allowstudents to explore, discover and innovate in a limited period of time and space. Theliterature reveals that undergraduate research helps to integrate students with the faculty andresults in publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals. Thus the student is able tocreate portfolios that shed light on their learning and skills development in the professions.Through this work, the following
