In lieu of a force plate, the ground reaction forcescome from normal-gait force data [9]. Next year, when students from the redesigned MATLABlaboratory sequence perform the same experiment, we will have a more quantitative measure ofhow their programming skills have improved.

Survey question #2asked respondents to indicate their level of agreement on whether the session introduced them tovarious aspects of building an IoT device, and the corresponding responses are shown in Figure1.b. Again, 100 percent of the respondents agreed with this statement, with a majority of them instrong agreeance. Designing hands-on activities for freshman students has its own constraints, animportant one being the need to shield them from complexities and intricacies ofhardware/software design.

the conventional thinking that for engineering majors, at least,calculus and physics understanding underpins all other technical courses. Thus, failure to thrivein major-specific courses might be tied to failure to grasp the basics presented in calculus andphysics. This inference conforms to the results published in [6, 7], as reported in [1].The results of the analysis support the hypothesis. For the analysis, “low grade” is defined tomean “below B.” [Note: prior to fall 2013, Gannon did not issue “minus” grades toundergraduate students.] Of the six 4Y students who were separated from SEECS due to GPA,one had a low grade in the first calculus class, three had low grades in their first physics class, andtwo had low grades in both (refer to

They worked in groups of 4-6 students each, with supervision and assistance fromtheir instructor and one undergraduate TA. Preliminary analysis of student submittedinfographics from fall 2015 showed that students interpreted the assignment and the purpose oftheir infographics in a wide variety of ways. Most students relied heavily on limited, pre-madetemplates for generating their infographics, worked with only minimal guidance and a verysimple rubric provided by instructors (see Appendix B), and may have seen this project as a veryminor segment of their overall final project.

I chose this method since it allowed the students to more easily see theconnections between what they did in a previous lab using schematic capture to the Verilogstatements they were writing. Specifically, it gave them a one-to-one correlation between the gatesin schematic capture and the corresponding software-like statement in Verilog. Additionally, I givethe students a lecture on Verilog during the lab session before they start implementation. Thislecture covers the basic syntax including gates, operators, modules, etc. and also how to make atest bench to simulate their designs. Figure 3 shows the segment B
