Logic Circuits Lab – Breadboard or VerilogAbstract:Logic Circuit design is one of the introductory courses for Electrical Engineering and ElectricalEngineering Technology students. Ideally, it introduces students to hands-on circuit building,problem solving, testing and function verification. The lab teaches them to use correct labequipment from digital meters and oscilloscopes to digital logic analyzers. The logic design lab isa learning experience that most students enjoy, as it is their first hands-on experience withdesigning and building miniature systems.Other instructors prefer introducing students to Verilog design as the lab experience. Studentsusually use evaluation boards to implement their designs. The
Education, 2016 Promoting the Entrepreneurial Mindset through Faculty DevelopmentAbstractOur university is part of a group of about 20 universities that are seeking to improve ourgraduates’ capabilities by helping them to develop an entrepreneurial mindset while they are yetstudents. While technical knowledge is essential to engineering, engineers will be more likely tofind success and personal fulfillment when they couple these skills with a mindset to createextraordinary value for others.This perspective is not innate to many students, but they can be exposed to these concepts usingthe curriculum, if faculty themselves know how to do this. This leads to the critical issue ofappropriate faculty development. Our program is committed to

The design contest was an amazing way to bring together the class to work towards a project that could be very helpful for future generations. This competition also helped the engineering students match up to the business schools students. This competition was fun and exciting as it made us all think of various new technology that some had only thought of as a dream that would someday take shape to reality. The team work was awesome and helped us know each others potentials and specialties. The journals helped boost our grades and were a great way to keep track of ever step of progress towards our design. 2. The design contest was a

accomplished through large-scale engineering design/build projects that requireteams of individuals with different backgrounds. As observed by the three engineers authoring this paper, architecture education, incontrast with engineering education, encourages the broad view of a design that is yieldedthrough projects and design studios. It is fundamentally a design curriculum, and muchcould be adopted for use by engineering educators. Architecture students are encouragedto continually visualize and internalize the end product of their designs and are ingrainedwith the need to document and be prepared to present the intent of a design. The youngarchitect is being trained to provide the unifying force amongst different experts in abuilding design

leadership, design, communication, teamwork, planning, andoriginality. The methodology used also provides an educational depth not normally experiencedin traditional laboratory assignments.In this approach, the entire class is divided into groups of three or four students (known as lead-groups) who are each responsible for preparing two laboratory experiments during the semester.Instead of the students performing laboratory experiments that are pre-defined by the instructor,they develop their own new experiments under the instructor’s guidance. The lead-group meetswith the instructor to select a topic that is pertinent to the material being covered in theconcurrent lecture class. A rough methodology is laid out for the lead-group students to design
