programmer’s model is actually an important determining-factor to anew hardware platform that can be adopted to learn the development of a new hardware such like a μCor μP in a relatively short time. In article [7], it discusses the use of soft-core-processors of theMicroBraze. Similar soft-core-processors are available to Altera (Intel) such as its Nios II processors, too.However, those soft-core-processors are limited to the vendor specific platforms. In the article [8], itillustrates the use of Altera’s DE2 to design basic computers. In a more advanced setting, like article [9],it uses Xilinx’s MicroBlaze again for biprocessor’s SoC development. To make the material feasible toundergraduate students, these articles may not be easy to improve

(CEAS), the Integrated Teaching and LearningProgram (ITLP) emerged in the 1990’s from student demand and with college recognition thatattrition was a concern. At the time, CU offered hands-on experiences only in select junior- orsenior-design courses. “‘From an engineering perspective, lab classes are good because they giveyou a feeling for what you’re learning, and if you’re a visual learner, ITLP can help you learnfaster and better,’ said Eric Peers, an electrical and computer engineering senior,” who chairedthe student movement to launch more access to hands-on learning [28]. Envisioning an approachthat was more targeted for specific populations was not yet on the table.Improved student retention and satisfaction were early ITLP outcomes [29

workforce needs. However, thecompetencies outlined by GTCM and its application in traditional undergraduate curriculumdevelopment for geospatial science, engineering and technology programs require a pedagogicalframework conducive to nurturing spatial literacy [14]. The 4IR careers involve a wide range ofspatial cognitive processes, including spatial perception, visualization, and reasoning, as therequired tasks are performed in space [9, 15]. Therefore, re-tooling for a new generationworkforce can provide useful learning opportunities on spatial literacy in schools, colleges anduniversities [16].

difficult lab course. The biomedical instrumentation lab course isrequired for all undergraduate bioengineering majors and is a technical elective for several otherengineering majors at a large public land grant university in the Midwest United States. Thecourse content has been challenging for many students. Additionally, some students noted otherchallenges in the lab, e.g., reading labels on parts, lights, and lab bench layout. The goal of thisproject is to reduce these challenges with the content, space, and supplies.In the first phase of the project, the research team used methods from Universal Design forLearning (UDL), human centered design, and entrepreneurial minded learning to evaluate thelaboratory space and course materials and generate

promising strategies that enhancestudent engagement and learning, such as flipped classrooms, online courses, field activities,hybrid or blended learning approaches, hands-on project based activities and more. These haveproven effective tools in capturing students' attention and facilitating their learning. Theselearning strategies are part of the pedagogical technique known as active learning. They helpsolidify abstract concepts and understand theoretical principles by engaging the students in activelearning. Building, testing, and observing real-world systems ignite critical thinking, betterinformation retention, troubleshooting, and improved technical competency among the students.Building educational tools or demonstration devices offer several
students in experiments and active learning.Learning in a laboratory consolidates scientific and engineering concepts to develop engineeringdesign abilities, enable problem-solving and nurture professional and social skills [2]. Theundergraduate laboratory is important in preparing students for practice beyond the university.Skills developed in the laboratory, such as conducting experiments and tests, solving problems,designing, and innovating, are key skills for professional practice. In the last two decades,laboratories have been further enhanced by the introduction of the digital computer and systemsof distance learning, particularly over the Internet [3].
