device. An engineer’s calculations or computer modelling may seem highly abstract and removedfrom reality, but this work only counts if it can be connected to the physical world. Because students spend muchof their time studying abstract ways for analyzing the forces of Nature, it is becomes highly important for them tohave an exercise early on in their education where they actually build a real device, pmticularly one whichharnesses simple forces (The clock timer kit uses a pendulum and a falling weight). In this way, building theclock timer kit is a powerful lesson, reminding the students that engineering is about building real objects whichneed to work reliably in the real world. A second assumption concerns how humans learn about the

Background and Method1.1 – Background In a FPGA design software, graphical design such as schematic entry is an option for designers. Alternatively, using a simulation tool, based on SPICE such as the Multisim, to simulate a simple computer has not been tried by many designers, but is the intention of this paper, especially for educational purposes. In reference [1], the Multisim was used to implement an ALU, but not a computer. This paper here extends the ALU in [1] to design a complete simple computer. Many digital systems such as reference

This is a metaphor for educators continually confronted by the weight of prescriptivecurricula in need of alternative innovation.The top eleven undergraduate engineering programs ranked in 2010 by the US News and WorldReport were investigated by the author and two trends were found. The curricula are verydoctrinaire and the course descriptions are indicative of synchronous engagements between theinstructor and the learner. Conversely, none of the eleven schools appear to dedicate a coursethat has a synchronous engagement between the learner and live content. A semester long coursedevoted to a single real-time

©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Expanding the Pool: Recognizing the Potential in Underprepared Students (Experience) Abstract Students entering university bring with them a rich diversity of backgrounds, each shaped by unique experiences and perspectives. Some students come from families with a strong tradition of higher education, where parents and relatives have laid a well-established academic foundation. These students often enter college with a clear understanding of what to expect and how to navigate the demands of higher education. In contrast, first-generation college students, who lack this familial guidance, may face significant challenges. Without a background

. Higher education researchers provide rational for using complex theoretical frameworksin problems of practice [21]–[23] Within STEM education research bioecological and self-efficacy theories have been used, but there is no evidence of their combined application. This ispossibly because their complex natures raise concerns about manageable research or data validity[24]–[26]. Combining them made sense because of their complementary constructs whichprovide a comprehensive picture of academic self-efficacy development in AUP students withina university setting. Bioecological theory describes the external factors involved, or where andwhen development occurs [14]-[16]. Bandura’s self-efficacy theory provides a framework tounderstand what is
