Otherdemographic information analyzed include: class level (i.e., freshman, sophomore, junior,senior), household income level, high school GPA, level of preparedness, and whether thestudent was a first generation college student or not. These analyses also showed no unexpecteddifferences between inverted sections and control sections in terms of sub-group participation.That is, each of the conditions (i.e., inverted and control) had statistically equivalent studentsfrom each of the sub-groups analyzed. Overall, these findings suggest that the students in theinverted sections and the students in the control sections, while not randomly

The last two years of the curriculum focusedon more specialized topics and technical electives, with the third year particularly heavy inrequired technical courses. Five university-mandated general electives and three open electiveswere distributed across the four years, with more in the fourth year of study. Overall, the contentof the courses was similar to most other institutions and both ECE degree programs includedtopics such as circuit analysis, electronics, signals and systems, probability, digital logic,microcontrollers, and programming. The EE program also included the topics of power, controlsystems, and mechanics while the CPE program included additional

This resulted in a smallergroup that allowed all students to participate in two parallel assembly lines. The in-class activityconsisted of an assembly line simulation to produce a water battery consisting of a wooden base,copper wires and coils, paper towels, galvanized screws, alligator clips, and an LED as shown inFigure 1.

traditional literature reviews employ a more rigorous andcomprehensive approach to reviewing and synthesizing work on a particular topic [19]. Accordingto Mosteller and Colditz [20], a research synthesis such as a systematic review helps theresearcher to create for readers a general overview of previous work done on a topic under studywhile highlighting new knowledge on a common topic. A systematic approach to synthesizingliterature therefore offers three main benefits to the researcher. These are: 1. The opportunity to explore areas among previous studies that can be combined to provide answers to new research questions, 2. The ability to generally summarize many issues of research described by previous

In addition to educational issuesthere are many research challenges and opportunities in such new power and energy areas. Enrollment in engineering programs, although increasing modestly over the past decades, is stillunable to keep pace with industry needs and with the number of engineers leaving workforce [1-8]. Indeed fewer engineering students are studying or planning to study energy engineering,further compounding to the issue of energy engineer’s shortages. However, preparing studentsfor these career opportunities is quite a challenging task, further complicated because it must beaccomplished using often limited resources and within

in Higher Education While artificial intelligence (AI) has existed in some form since the 1930s, the pace ofadvancements has accelerated significantly in the last decade. Modern AI is rooted in AlanTuring’s theory of computation, which defined the “Turing machine” as a set of logical rules thatcould, generally, be used to compute solutions to nearly any problem [1]. The set of logical rulesknown as the Turing machine later developed into the concept of neural networks, the backboneof most AI technologies today. Many major AI tools today are pre-trained to use a neuralnetwork to decipher a specified dataset; this automated process is called machine learning. Thispaper will centers on application of a subset of machine learning AI

A frame of data istransmitted as a continuous 64*24 single-bit stream, similar to the operation shown in Figure 1. The controller can be implemented by customized software or customized hardware. Thesoftware implementation utilizes the bit-bang scheme, in which the software code uses general-purpose output port to produce the waveform and generate the data stream. The timingrequirement of the WS2812 coding scheme is rather tight. It is doable but very difficult for aprocessor. In the
