an effective framework for a virtual, fast-paced [six-week] summer engineering coursein a private university in Texas. Particularly, the Initiation (Strategy 1) and Extension (Strategy 2)components of the CIRE model were modified to adapt to the fast-paced structure of the courseand allow students to enhance their academic preparation despite the virtual setting. Thismodification of the CIRE model was effectuated based on four critical aspects: a) a combinationof teaching practices employed by the author during lecture sessions; b) post-course evaluation ofCIRE model; c) literature on instructional best practices; d) sensitivity of circumstancessurrounding students during COVID-19.

RISC-V Instruction Set Architecture (ISA). Toimplement this project, we used the SN74LS283N 4-bit full adder IC, the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B boardthat hosts a 32-bit RISC-V processor, breadboard, LEDs, and few resistors. To program the circuit,we used Visual Studio Code with the PlatformIO extension to allow deployment and debugging of theRISC-V assembly code on the HiFive board. The goal of this project was to demonstrate the full 4-bitadder truth table by cycling through different inputs and displaying the adder output using LED lights.The input to the adder was driven by onboard GPIO pins that were actuated through RISC-V assemblycode. Using the SiFive HiFive1 Rev B manuals, we identified the base memory addresses of the GPIOpins and the

However, the end results demonstrate thatthe experimental group was more successful in creating a correct assembly than the control group,even though there was seemingly less CAD experience. When analyzing the results, the authorslabeled each tab and slot interface with corresponding letters (A, B, C, and D) as shown in Figure 5.This allowed for different levels of success to be accounted for when viewing each students’ assembly.Letter A on the side part is intended to be slotted into Letter A on the base part.

polytropic relationship like P*Vn = constant. Similarly students can’t handle exponents totransform algebraic equations like: (a)(n-1) = (b)n to the equation (a) = (b)(n/(n-1)). It is not always thehigher-level math that stumps students. Often they do not understand the basic equation for astraight line with slope and intercept (y = m*x+b) and linear interpolation. It may come as a shockto faculty teaching at a flagship university that such deficiencies are possible, but they exist and arecommon in many community colleges and many non-flagship universities. This problem appears tobe even more prevalent when there are high levels of transfer credits for prerequisite math/physicscourses. Students are known to “shop” college courses. They don’t shop
