This student-centered pedagogical approachpresents the students the opportunity to not just master technical content but also to identifyopportunities, integrate knowledge and create value for themselves and others.This paper discusses the results of a concurrent investigation on the effect of incorporating EMLinto the 9-week, group-based, customer-focused, and open-ended game design project in aFreshmen level programming course in the Electrical and Computer Engineering curriculum.The course was first taught with the new project model in Spring 2020 but due to COVID-19,certain aspects of the project were not implemented.

In addition, the course envisaged that students develop lesson plans in order toengage in mentoring of middle school students based on the understanding of their educationalbackground, write a weekly reflection report and make improvements on the delivery of lessonplan and help mentees build a finished product – an obstacle avoiding robot, from thecommercially available parts. Topics covered in the course included – Microcontrollers, Programing, Digital I/O,Encoders, Infrared sensor, Ultrasonic sensor, LIDAR, Gyroscope, Accelerometer,Magnetometer, Wireless interface to microcontroller, RC

Students who evaluate well can provide reflections on approaches taken to solve a problem and demonstrate their ability to assess underlying concepts in the process of choosing the best among multiple alternative solutions. ● Create: putting elements together to produce a new pattern or original work. In engineering, the previous levels of the taxonomy culminate to the design of a component or system that invokes all previous levels of the taxonomy. Such efforts to create are often stimulated in capstone design classes but can also be invoked in smaller projects in lower- level courses.Promoting the integration, design, and evaluation capabilities of students is

The inclusion of disparate knowledge is highlighted in the literature. For example,Trevelyan found that the most crucial skill reflected in high performing engineers is coordinatingmultiple competencies to accomplish a goal [3]. EP2 highlights an aspect of problem solving thatgoes beyond the application of domain knowledge to include creativity, analysis, and evaluation.This skill

Fundamentally, Kolb’sExperiential Learning Model asserts that a cycle of concrete experience, reflective observation,abstract conceptualization, and active experimentation results in higher student learning [10].Implementation of Kolb’s method along with the integration of theory and hands-on practice inand introductory engineering course at Harvey Mudd College saw a statistically significant gainin student learning and an increased enthusiasm amongst female students [5].

own learning. A common misconception is that self-directedlearning can only occur in isolation from all other input from either the educator or fellowstudents. Students can work in a highly self-directed way while being a part of a larger team.Notably, a salient trend in the research suggests that students with highly developedself-directed learning skills connect and consult with a range of peers and leverage theirlearning network to make their choices about the direction of their learning [1].Foundational literature that examines the construction of a successful self-directed learningenvironment suggests that learning should reflect three distinct parts: The learner, the educator,and the learning resources [2].

The renamed codes were then assigned to the appropriatecategory. The students’ responses that each code referenced were then reviewed to ensure thatthe response was assigned to the appropriate category. In those instances, where the studentresponse included both helpful and non-helpful sentiments, the response was coded to bothcategories.In instances where a student’s response was unclear, we considered the totality of the student’sresponses on the survey.

For the instructional quality variable, we use responses to aLikert style question that asked students to rate the overall quality of instruction in SS.

BackgroundProject-based / Problem-based learning (PBL) has been increasingly prevalent throughoutengineering curricula. Pedagogically, both approaches are similar: students work collaborativelyto address complex, ill-structured problems which reflect problems encountered in real lifewithin engineering. In this pedagogical approach, students engage in self-directed learning togather relevant knowledge and identify knowledge gaps; instructors serve as coaches to helpstudents identify necessary information to solve these problems. Problems are framed to fosterskills in knowledge acquisition and problem solving, as

Unfortunately, for those of us who have had to build consumer products, wevery well know that a microcontroller and some sensors does not a system (nor a product) make!Teaching students about embedded systems is valuable knowledge, but the objective of this classgoes beyond that oversimplification. When designing this course for our students, we observed athree-fold deficiency in the student body. Firstly, ECE students lacked hands-on experiencebuilding a complete system. We had an excellent theoretical program teaching students thefundamentals of ECE, but all of our lab-oriented classes focused on small, self

First and foremost, the project succeeded because many schools workedtogether as one to collectively improve the learning experiences of their students.What enabled the group to succeed? 1) Experienced faculty trained faculty at schools new topersonal instrumentation at both in-person workshops and regular online meetings.

All the course materials, schedules, and assignments were managed using iLearn. Weekly pre-recorded lectures, usually composed of two or three 30- to 50-minute videos, were posted to iLearn as shown in Figure 2(a). At the end of each video lecture, exercises were added to reflect the topics covered in the video. A shared Google doc was created to collect questions from the students on the video lectures. The weekly video lectures were designed tailored to the weekly lab activities. Students must watch
