In fact, sinceour goal was to add a new required course, we could simply assert that we met the goal since thecourse is now required for both electrical and computer engineers. Of course we wish to evaluatethe results and continue to improve the course and the integration with the rest of the curriculum.Despite consistently meeting/exceeding our student learning outcome targets, our exit surveyshave been calling for more hands-on learning. Comments such as “more projects,” “moreexperiential learning,” “more hands-on learning” are the most common free-text response to thesummary question “What specific suggestions can you

Teaching Microcontroller Applications Using Laptop ComputersAbstractThis paper presents an inexpensive technique of teaching an introductory microcontrollerapplications course to technology students in a laptop-based curriculum. The focus of the courseis learning to apply microcontrollers in various control applications. Related topics covered inthe course include assembly language programming and computer architecture. Students in thecourse are each equipped with a laptop computer. The microcontroller platform used in thiscourse is the Microchip PICKit1 development board. This development board features 8- and 14-pin microcontrollers with a 35 word instruction set. This is an ideal platform because the deviceshave enough resources to develop

We then computed the average points from all the students for the problem(s).The average rating on a scale from 1 to 5 was obtained by dividing the average points by thedesignated points for that problem(s) and then multiplying the result by 5. Outcome 2 wassimilarly assessed based on the student’s adaptive filter labs and projects. The instructorassessment is included in row 3 of Table 3.The rating scores from the student survey and the ones from the instructor were consistent.

CodeWarrior is a powerful tool for program development and debugging. The basicfeatures of it can be learned in a short time. The microcontroller module is a complete singleboard computer that the students can use directly in their projects. The form factor for the moduleis smaller enough that the projects become truly embedded systems.

NSF sponsoredproject, entitled “Enhance Computer Network Curriculum using Remote Collaborative Project-based Learning”. The focus of the project is to explore Collaborative Project-based Learning(CPBL) as a pedagogical approach to address the learning issues of under-prepared minoritystudents, and seek effective implementation strategy to extend the pedagogy beyond theclassroom through a remote learning structure. During the three-year project course, a newpedagogical model named as CPBL-beyond-Classroom was developed and its effectiveness hasbeen thoroughly evaluated in iterative classroom implementation. In this paper, we will analyzethis pedagogical model to illustrate how it can address the learning needs of minority students ona commuter

The computer engineering students taking the high-speed design course werehampered by a lack of knowledge in electromagnetics, e.g., coupling mechanisms, passivecomponent frequency variations, and transmission line fundamentals. The inadequate studentbackground resulted in the class material being treated in a “cookbook” fashion that, notsurprisingly, resulted in student learning outcomes that were insufficient to produce a foundationfor future learning or work in high-speed design.Our response was to design a required EMC/SI course for our CPE students.

In the process students experiment withaliasing in data acquisition and learn how Fast Fourier Transforms can be used to extract thefundamental frequency of a periodic signal. Students then analyze the acquired data, performnumerical integration and differentiation while observing the limitations of the latter. Finally,they use computer
