The department features a broad-based engineering curriculumdevoted to a liberal and integrative engineering education in the context of the University’stradition of the liberal arts and sciences. This mission of the department is explained in themission statement of the department. The Engineering Science curriculum emphasizes an in-depth understanding of the fundamentals of the physical sciences, mathematics, and engineering sciences, which form the foundation for technical work in all fields of engineering. Some specialization is available through elective courses in chemical, electrical and mechanical

Faculty have noted the benefits of ICPT as well; instructors were able to interactmore with students in the class, many of whom would otherwise not talk with the instructor at all[11]. Quan et al. [13] noted that peer tutors are supporting growth rather than evaluation of thestudents. ICPT can help improve student outcomes and teacher preparation, and create a student-centered learning environment [16]. Although it is clear that ICPT is beneficial, the use of ICPTin other engineering courses has been limited. The general benefits of ICPT can benefit otherengineering classes, regardless of the technical content. ICPT

As technology advances, more and more educators have found videogames as one of many learning tools at their disposal. The availability of many modern FPGAs andembedded processors at an affordable price has opened many interesting projects of which many formereducators could have only dreamed.
