education more available tounderserved populations of students3. Further, hand-writing computer code on examinations iswell-known to give students anxiety; historical practice in offering the course has confirmed this,and there are examples of online discussion forums where students express anxiety with the task4.Historical PracticeCMPSC 200 at University Park has historically been organized using a lecture-recitation-laboratory teaching model. Generally, the Monday course meeting was a “common” lecture taughtby the instructor of record in a large (semesters when two lecture sections were offered) or verylarge (semesters when one lecture section was offered) lecture hall using traditional large lecturetechniques (i.e. PowerPoint presentations).For

Some instructors use visualization tools such as MATLAB toimprove students’ learning in class and assigns software-based projects to enrich the interpretationof fundamentals of electromagnetics [5]. While simulations are helpful to explain theories, studiesshowed that students who can create and analyze simulations, already have a good understandingof the theory [6]. Thus, computer simulations do not help all students in core EMF courses to Fall 2017 Mid-Atlantic ASEE Conference, October 6-7 – Penn State Berksdevelop a deeper interpretation of abstract theories.

types of questions to measurestudents’ understanding of the subject matter along with different styles of learning assessment.These exercises are completed during the laboratory component of the course as an additionalactivity.The second approach is the development of a learning community for freshman students. Thelearning community is built focusing on the freshman level Computer Aided Drafting andDesign and Manufacturing Processes courses. As a part of the learning community, these courseshave collaborative teaching and joint projects. The instructors of both courses coordinate theteaching materials so that students can always reference the teaching materials in both coursesand are learning the materials in the right pace. A joint project is

1 devised a clever way to involve freshman engineering students in designthrough the design/redesign of paper clips. Using minimal resources and with minimalprerequisites, students were exposed to the compromises involved in the design of a real product 1 .In another example, Latcha and Oakley 2 describe a Capstone course where students design andconstruct toys or games. This course exposes students to the severe economic constraints oneffective toys and gives them the opportunity to have their designs presented to industry.Both of these project examples involve teaching practices that are recognized throughout thegreater community of educators as high-impact practices 3 . Design project work, especially withconstruction, requires that
