In this study, we aim tounderstand student perceptions of an educational technology tool that serves as an audienceresponse system (ARS) and a content repository for high-quality and content-oriented questions[1]. Students can use a personal electronic device to answer concept questions. Instructors arealso able to contribute concept questions. Work detailing student practices and perceptions ofARS or “clickers” [15] in undergraduate classrooms has observed that students generally

To considerthe PE exam has no merit, since it is taken by only a fraction of engineering graduates and examperformance is strongly influenced by many factors independent of the BSCE education.

Our architecture incorporates asimple instruction set serially executed in a 5-stage cycle (fetch, decode, execute, memory, writeback). The design utilizes SRAM memory to store instructions and pushbuttons, switches,LEDs, and 7-segment displays provide feedback and user input. Specifically, we use the AlteraCyclone II to instantiate our system running on the Altera DE2 development and educationboard. We also leverage the associated CAD tools to build this system.

mustprovide effective computer literacy courses to meet the needs of students. Developing tools toassess learning outcomes is mandatory to ensure that students are gaining the computerknowledge and skills they need to be successful in their chosen fields of study.Programs have been developed for teaching computer literacy, but little has been done to testtheir efficacy. One problem in assessing such programs is that there is no generally accepteddefinition of computer literacy. The Webster's II New College Dictionary [3] defines computerliteracy as "the ability to use a computer and its software to accomplish practical tasks." Stewart[4] says computer literacy is "an understanding of the concepts, terminology and operations thatrelate to general

Highlyinteractive, well-designed computer-based-instruction (CBI) modules then offer the possibility ofachieving the 75% goal. Renshaw, et al. [7] state “students unanimously preferred modules thatincorporated animations and interactive design tools.” Others [2-5,7,8] have reported similarfindings in several engineering fields and topics. Since it seems that students prefer interactivemultimedia modules and retain more material presented in this way, the goal of any CBI moduleshould be to use interactive engaging material rather than static material.The challenge is then one of developing
