for Engineering Education, 2018 Design and Implementation of a Health Monitoring Design Project in an Introductory Digital Design CourseAbstractDigital Design courses, which cover topics related to combinational and sequential logic, are acommon element of most electrical and computer engineering programs. Introductory coursesoften employ only small “toy” examples that incorporate, at most, a few course topics in anexample and fail to demonstrate the utility and power of modern digital systems. Additionally, atour institution, the Digital Design course is the first course that students take within the major, sothere is an added interest to structure the course to motivate and retain a broad set of students.With this

The initial version of J-DSP has been developed in the ASU MIDL lab andtested in a senior-level Electrical Engineering Digital Signal Processing (DSP) course(EEE 407). The J-DSP Version 1 (CD-ROM ISBN 0-9724984-0-0) is approximately42,000 lines of Java code. Papers on J-DSP addressing several DSP related areas havebeen published previously in archival conference proceedings and journals [1-15].This paper presents sponsored work aimed at developing, disseminating, and assessingseveral new J-DSP capabilities. The project involves five universities and includessignificant

The results further indicate a need for clear leadershipin the definition of which actions and behaviors constitute cheating.I. IntroductionAs Information Technology pervades all workplaces and disciplines the increasing demand forprofessionals, particularly in engineering, who are proficient at computer programming hasnecessitated introductory programming courses for many students of higher education. To meetthis need Georgia Institute of Technology’s College of Computing has developed an Introductionto Computing course. This course, formerly CS1501, is now required for all students, fromthose majoring in International

To thisend, in a student survey in the power systems course, 62% indicated that the flipped approachwas more useful than traditional lecture for presentation of material, and 80% felt that in-classassignments were a better use of class time.However, another instructor noted a high level of frustration in his flipped sophomore electricalengineering course near the end of the term when students struggled to understand someconcepts8. He expressed caution about using the flipped method for all subjects and indicatedthat for complex topics, it may be necessary to have micro-lectures. Similar to this experience,students’ perspectives towards the flipped classroom in an electrical engineering

ABET ASSESSMENT USING CALIBRATED PEER REVIEWIntroductionMost engineering programs have some type of capstone design experience. At Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology (Rose) the Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) Department alsohas a similar set of courses. Therefore, the ECE Department decided to use senior design toassess EC3(g) (ABET Engineering Criterion 3-g): “ability to communicate effectively”.However, we needed/wanted a tool to help us develop our assessment process for EC3(g).The ECE Department was introduced to the Calibrated Peer Review (CPR) [1]. CPR is anonline-tool with four structured workspaces that perform in tandem to create a series of activitiesthat reflect modern pedagogical strategies for using writing
to assist the students in writing their reports.The project is not technically challenging, but is introduced prior to the classroomdiscussion on the relevant subject material. The goal is to have students reason out andask the appropriate technical question just prior to receiving the related lecture materialor, better yet, have the students reading ahead.Student Reaction and ResultsThe typical USAFA cadet carries a high academic load (21 semester hours is the norm).In addition to an intensive schedule of physical and military training, programs such assoaring, parachuting, and T-3 (flight instruction in light aircraft) compete for the cadet'stime.
