acommunications laboratory remotely.The Electrical & Computer Engineering Department at the University of Wyoming, has alaboratory intensive program. The students have required laboratories in seven of theirDepartment courses ranging from Circuits to Microprocessors. These are in addition to sciencelaboratories. The laboratories provide the students with extensive use of a variety of test andmeasurement equipment. In the past, the communications class had five laboratories and used acombination of fundamental hardware and LabView modules.Goals of the remote laboratory include having it still maintain the visual learning aspects of atraditional lab; having the student still work with a lab partner; and having an environment wherethe teaching assistant

of the diversity at FloridaAtlantic University and its engineering programs. Most students were 23 years old or younger,but there were a handful of older students. Questions regarding student opinions about importance of the lecture or learning ingeneral had five options: very important, important, moderately important, slightly important,and not important. Questions regarding opinions about effectiveness of various presentations orlearning methods had the options: strongly agree, agree, neutral, disagree, or strongly disagree. When asked about the “importance of being introduced to Probability/Statistics throughvisual examples,” one-third of the students responded with “very important” and an additionalone-third responded with
balance with content mastery within the general content domains ofcreativity and innovation. As such, it was an excellent testbed for principles related to designthinking, including concept generation, prototyping, and Intelligent Fast Failure14. The primaryaim of the course was to provide students with general concepts and principles embedded in acreative problem-solving process that would help them learn to innovate and drive social and/ortechnical change within a self-directed learning environment. Our aim in making the coursegeneral was to reach as many students in as many different disciplines as possible, rather thanfocusing only on engineers or other technical disciplines. Due to the general nature of the coursecontent, there were no

Video creation posed more work and time for both students and instructors;however, there are educational benefits of requiring students to review and explain their work: itprovides authentic engineering communication practice and seeds a habit of metacognition.Introduction and Related WorkEducators design pedagogical methods, activities to support student learning, and assessments ofstudent learning, while often considering the theoretical framing of how students learn. Whileengineering and computer science learning experiences include hands-on, practical experienceswith active learning exercises, laboratory work, experiments, projects, and internships, examsremain a primary tool for assessing students

/O’s. Such limitation hinders the scope of courses from more advancedapplications in image and video processing.In this paper, we introduce a novel senior-level real-time DSP laboratory course. The coursetargets senior Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) students who already took their firstDSP course and introductory programming courses of Python and C/C++. However, theprogramming skills used in the course do not require advanced concepts. The course aims tointroduce the fundamentals of real-time DSP by purposefully hiding the complexities associatedwith the hardware. This enables students to stay focused on learning new signal processing topicsand progress toward the non-traditional DSP topics. We adopted Android tablets for the
-year engineering program. The course’s objectives were to introducefundamental electrical quantities, components, and concepts, and to develop students’ ad hoc andsystematic circuit analysis skills. The course consisted of three weekly 50-minute class sessionstaught by a professor and one weekly 50-minute discussion session led by a teaching assistant.As part of a previous study, [7], the professor had transformed the course from lecture-basedinstruction in a TLC, to active learning instruction in the same classroom by replacing 40minutes of lecture with 40 minutes of collaborative, professor assisted, student problem solvingactivities supported by a web-based problem delivery and feedback system. A TLC class sessionfrom the transformed course
