Inimplementing PBL of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (EECS) topics formiddle and high school-level enrichment programs, significant thought needs to go intodetermining which sub-topics in the EECS field should be covered in a curriculum inorder to enable students to undertake projects of sufficient and satisfying complexity.One solution is to focus exclusively on either the software (programming) or hardware(sensors, circuits, etc.) side of EECS, having what amounts to either a

Students can explore models ofcircuits which are fundamentally important to the design of computing devices. Suchexploration is directed by the students’ curiosity; an exploration guide draws attention toimportant aspects. Complex systems can be broken apart into

We propose an interactive human-computer interface (HCI) that pro-vides users with human-intelligible feedback on the radio environment as a function of time, fre-quency and space to leverage active learning by letting the students become the operators of awireless communications system. This will provide a better feeling for the parameters that enableas well as govern real-time information exchange over-the-air, making them more tangible andintuitive like a steering wheel, gear, shift, and pedals are for driving a car.This paper presents our initial work on developing such educational tools using our

systems in the design of theirstudent educational experience.Using hardware in computing instruction enhances the learning experience for many students,especially those with learning profiles indicating a preference for active or experiential learning.Both Keirsey-profile (MBTI) ‘Artisans’ and ‘Rationals’ can benefit from this approach.A significant problem with using hardware-oriented tools to enhance learning is that students(and many faculty) in IT typically don’t have a deep background in hardware design anddebugging. Therefore hardware platforms must be selected which allow for development oflearning experiences with ready-made and easy-to-use platforms. Platforms such as mobilephones epitomize this, as the hardware platform is complete and
