ourorganization, we describe the entrepreneurial mindset as identifying opportunities to create valueor satisfy a human need through ventures requiring new resources or approaches. Further, weplace value on empathy for the stakeholders by viewing problems as opportunities, determiningtolerance for risk, and prioritizing long-term value creation. For the Lab, this mindset is instilledthrough the activities listed above, which are both explicit and implicit training.The Lab’s focus on healthcare applications for real-world learning opportunities is part of thelarger mission of Santa Clara University to raise a student population who will be the innovatorsand problem-solvers of their generation.

Mixed-Signal Testand Product Engineering course presents the methods test engineers use to validate the perfor-mance of mixed-signal circuits, such as comparators, digital-to-analog converters (DACs), andanalog-to-digital converters (ADCs). This course, developed in conjunction with industry, inte-grates material from many core courses including analog circuits, digital circuits, signal analysis,feedback control, programming skills, statistical analysis, and data analysis. Students are expectedto integrate their experiences from their core courses and apply those skills in this industry-focused “real-world” application. A complete overview of the course can be found in Hudson et.al.7 In this work, the authors will primarily focus on the

If your mission is to create andmarket products, then one can successfully argue that these software tools are effective. On theother hand, since our goal is to educate student to potentially work on future embedded systems,we must expose our students to the underlying hardware, let them program in low-level languagesuch as assembly or C, and force them to face real engineering tradeoffs.

In English,ambiguity of meaning is often encouraged; not so in math. At this level, math is a smallcollection of rules, much like those of English grammar. Anyone performing a symbolicmanipulation must use one of the rules. The job of the students is to then practice using these rules, i.e., do homework andsolve in-class problems, until they build an intuition on which rule to use. It is a

Using coding and modeling as a tool also exposes students to awider range of applications for computer programming and provides them with opportunities toapply computational thinking to real-world applications.

Initially implemented as an emergency measure to address school closures,online modality has since been embraced by numerous higher education institutions due to itsinherent advantages [1, 13], which include enhanced flexibility, increased interactivity, and theability for students to pace their own learning.Historically, online engineering programs have faced skepticism, particularly due to concernsover the lack of hands-on lab experiences. There has been a strong belief that students mustphysically engage with real machines, equipment, and circuits that closely mirror those used inreal-world applications—something simulations alone cannot fully
