He collected and analyzed data from 296 studentsover 4 years (8 different course offerings by 3 different instructors). He concluded that studentsfound computational problem sets as the most effective learning tool in these classes, which isexpected due to the problem-solving nature of most of the engineering courses. Interestingly,students found just-in-time teaching and peer instruction the next most effective tools. Themajority of students reported that JiTT helped them be on-schedule and more mindful in theclassroom [13].In another study that was supported by NSF (Division of

Shortly following the unveiling of the World Wide Web, the University of Phoenixbecame one of the first programs to offer formal online education programs. This prompted otherfor-profit and not-for-profit institutions to follow suit including New York University Online in1998 and California Virtual University (consortium of 100 universities and colleges) also in1998.Impact of Videos on Student LearningStarting with research pertaining to online learning in K-12 classrooms, in 2010 the U.S.Department of Education published a comprehensive evaluation of evidence-based practices inonline education which encompassed a meta-analysis and

These students had completed their second year at thecommunity college, and plan on pursuing a bachelor’s degree in an engineering discipline. Thecourse started with project-based teaching of fundamentals of electrical circuits, electronics, andinstrumentation followed by introduction to mechanical design. It concluded with design projectsusing the skills that students learned from the aforementioned subjects. The projects aimed atpromoting active learning, research, problem solving, and understanding the design process. Thepilot course was used to evaluate the instructional materials to be utilized later in developing anew junior level course in the computer

This paper presentsthe results of a new two-week summer enrichment program that focuses on improving studentpreparedness for college, while promoting active learning through hands-on experiences andactivities. Students were introduced to various engineering disciplines through hands-onactivities that included topics in chemistry, biology, physics, mathematics, computer science,electrical engineering, civil engineering, and mechanical engineering. The program alsoincluded two field trips where students toured a science laboratory and a manufacturing plantthat employ scientists and engineers from different disciplines.IntroductionIn 2014, nearly 45% of incoming freshman undergraduates entered

As a result, students who have a good understanding of theory andconcepts of RTOS do not have the opportunity to map their knowledge onto real-worldimplementations. To bridge the gap between conceptual understanding and concreteimplementations, an embedded RTOS educational platform has been established for EETstudents in the Department of Engineering Technology & Industrial Distribution at Texas A&MUniversity as well as in the Engineering Technology program at Northern Kentucky University.This paper only focuses on hardware design and development of the embedded RTOS platform.The laboratory curriculum development and student learning outcomes/feedback will

His friendlymanner and great sense of humor is evident as he addresses Mosque etiquette, prepares thestudents for the service, and presents the design features of the facility. We eventually separateinto two groups, male and female, and with shoes removed proceed to our appropriate prayerspaces.
