would be beneficial to create a short, optional survey to distribute at the endof the extra credit quiz or semester to measure the effectiveness of the module and understandwhat changes can be made to improve it to further encourage early exposure to parallelcomputing topics. The survey would not only serve as a source of data for students’ motivationsfor completing the module and their future course plans in relation to parallel computing, butalso allow them to provide feedback.Difficulty of parallel computing topicsWhen creating the extra credit quiz as an extended learning module for ECE 220, the goal was tomake the barrier to entry low so that as many students as possible were encouraged to learnparallel computing topics early on.

activities andassignments to the course learning objectives set at the start of the semester is also a key forsuccess, often called backwards course design. Multiple opportunities for assessment paired withfrequent formative feedback allow both students and instructors to assess progress throughout thesemester.    Additional insights emerged when considering the response categories holistically. First, newinstructors may be in the best position to implement standards-based grading. Much of the workis in initial course preparation, but can be managed from the outset with effective identificationof objectives and mapping of assignments and rubrics. One potential consequence may be lowerstudent evaluations, but new faculty have room for improvement

distract from covering the core technical content that is so critical for students to learn intheir engineering education. First, it is important to acknowledge that some implementations ofEML activities may have the unintended consequence of diverting the focus away from technicallearning objectives. However, this is not the intent. Successful EML activities and assignmentsshould actually enhance student learning by improving their motivation for learning, imagininghow the technical content can create value, and advancing the ability of students to transfer theirknowledge from a course to real-world applications.For this Digital Logic course, the first step toward moving the course to an EML approach hasbeen to adopt the theme of arithmetic

Actualstudent comments on the SI experience are noted below: • The group of students who attended the SI regularly expressed that the SI session did actually help them improve learning of the course material. • The kind of exercises they practiced in the SI session has interested them and they actually learned when they asked questions and worked in small teams. • Sharing with the class has improved their understanding of concepts. • Some students said that

Therevised model was first run in the 2005-2006 academic year. Results from student courseevaluations in 2005 SEC I compared favorably to the 2004 SEC I course evaluations. Forexample, to the statement that “this course assisted me in developing multidisciplinaryengineering design skills,” student response (on a scale of 1 = strong disagree to 5 =strong agree) improved from a 3.70 in 2004 to a 4.06 in 2005.
