The program is funded bythe U.S Department of Education’s Math and Science Partnerships (MSP) program. Materialsscience provides accessible, hands-on lessons, and it can tie together traditional physical scienceclasses (Guskey, et al, 2009). The

SkillsAbstractThe paper expounds the practices utilized in teaching a two course sequence for theundergraduate curriculum, 1) Introductory C++ Software Design course and 2) An EmbeddedSystems Design course. This two course sequence is exclusively based on Structured ProgramingMethodology (SPM). The pedagogical underpinning for these courses is in strict adherence to theStructured Programing model, and is based on the interdependence among problem solving,cognition, and program (software design) development [1].Presented is a learning model that these courses adhere to for the purpose of Problem Solvingboth in general and specific to Engineering and Technology. Cognitive skills are developed,honed, and enforced by practicing the SPM. The model aptly taps

students’ perceptions of a first-year multidisciplinary engineering design course. This course was created to improve theexperience of engineering students by inspiring them to be makers and use their engineeringskills to design solutions that help solve societal problems. In this way, we expect to helpstudents make connections between engineering and society early enough in the curriculum [4].MethodologyThe goal of this paper is to highlight and share the results of the development of an engineeringdesign course and its impact on students’ academic motivation. Although these results can not begeneralized, the characteristics of the engineering design course experience could be transferredto other similar institutions with first year introductory

By using the LEGO P-Brick, advanced concepts of assembly language programming, microcontrollers, and circuit analysis can seamlessly be integrated into the student's EC engineering curriculum. It is hoped that these laboratory based projects will excite the EC engineering educator to explore developing other dynamic experiments in embedded controller applications like mechatronics based Real Time Systems (RTS), robotics based instrumentation, and intelligent machines using
