The use ofactive learning techniques increased the level of interactivity in the classes.In future work, we plan to survey more faculty from other departments and other engineeringschools to analyze their experience and share their points on how to teach an effective engineeringclass. Also, in a different study, we plan to investigate active learning effectiveness in online ECEclasses.References[1] K. P. Hardy and B. L.

Given that the software used in this work utilized unmodified versions of the basicalgorithms, it might be expected that agreement will improve as the algorithms are modified tobetter detect features most prevalent in diagrams of technological systems.

Byunderstanding the strengths and weaknesses of those you are working with, your group will beable to divide work amongst members in a manner that ensures great quality and collaborationthroughout all parts of the design process.”(b) The importance of the prototyping and testing phase of the design project.
