hands-on skills development; be completedduring a typical laboratory period; not require specialized equipment; be carried out in a range of physicalspaces; and illustrate general engineering principles beyond the details of the project. We have developedand tested several projects that meet these requirements including a solar-powered phone charger, anelectrodynamic loudspeaker, and a suite of microcontroller-based activities with a biomedical project.The series of projects include scaffolding to support novices, while also containing relevant open-endeddesign elements to challenge the creativity of the more experienced. Students show increases inconfidence and interest along with decreases in anxiety concerning engineering. Females attained

digital format and submitted to the LMS for grading, includingquizzes and homework assignments. Similar work has been carried out by Norwich University(NU, a small private military/civilian university with 125 FYE students covering 5 majors)through the integration of the iPad into the engineering curriculum [7]. While initially used todigitally ink notes (professors and students) and as a course and laboratory notebook (students),the iPad has since been used to deliver/take/grade exams. Multiple students have attributedimproved organizational skills and efficiency of studying to their digital tablet use.In addition to uploading written assignments, Virginia Military Institute (VMI, a small privatemilitary institute with 30 FY ECE students) has

interests include innovative laboratory experiments for undergraduate instruction, engineering design for first-year stu- dents, and encouraging women to study engineering. For the three years prior to teaching at Michigan State University, she taught freshman and sophomore engineering courses at Rowan University. While at Rowan University she was Co-Director of RILED (Rowan Instructional Leadership and Educational De- velopment), the advisor for the student chapter of the Society of Women Engineers (SWE), and given the ASEE Campus Representative Outstanding Achievement Award. Her teaching experience also includes work as a graduate student facilitator and engineering teaching consultant at the University of Michigan
