Students are exposed to the basic digital gates, the basics of computer design, and truthtables. At the end of this lab, the students are asked to simulate and verify their design usingXilinx IDE, and physically build the circuit using their newfound knowledge of switch design,microchip layout, and basic signal concepts.The second electrical engineering lab- AC/DC Conversion- focuses on alternating currentcircuits, direct current circuits, their differences and everyday applications.

Criticisms ofpedagogical effectiveness, assessment, and curricular structure accounted for 36.1% of allswitching decisions. Students strongly believed that faculty did not like to teach, did not valueteaching as a professional activity, and valued their research above teaching. Some of thespecific attributes of poor instruction, as identified by students in the Seymour and Hewitt study,were ill prepared and dull presentations, predominant use of one-way lectures, lack of discussion,assessments focused on rote memory, faculty reading directly from textbooks, and no indicatedapplication or implication of material. There is an undeniable
