, stimulate their curiosity, and engage them in hands-on activities that are notlimited to the laboratory 1. This paper proposes the integration of an activity-based learning approach in the EEcurriculum with the use of Analog Discovery Boards (ADB) by Digilent Inc. This enhancementallows students to build, analyze and visualize circuits using the USB-powered AnalogDiscovery platform, a personal computer, and a basic analog parts kit. This opens the door for avariety of learning activities that include in-class experimentation, take-home exercises, groupactivity sessions, and design-and-learn projects among many others. Our work aims to create anenvironment for a student that is conducive to innovation and creative thinking; while providingan

alwayskeeping in mind that an effective solution must create value for someone in society.To tackle this challenge, the University of New Haven developed a series of 18 e-learningmodules covering a broad set of topics mapped to attributes of an entrepreneurial mindset. The e-leaning modules were integrated within regular engineering and computer science courses in ahybrid format (on-ground and online), providing a supplement to topics generally included inthose courses. The e-learning modules are open source, developed with funding from the KernFamily Foundation. Over the past four years, the e-learning modules were deployed outside theUniversity of New Haven at 55 other institutions by 77 faculty. In this paper we present theperceptions of over 1500

This should help instructors engage all students in the subject under consideration.The DyKnow software also relieves students of note taking by transferring all the instructors’notes to the students’ computers instantaneously. Thus, students can focus on the instructor’spresentation rather than on taking notes. Complete instructor notes, including individual studentcomments, may be saved automatically for future student review.Clearly there is great interest in using this technology to enhance learning, but the current bodyof knowledge includes only a limited amount of direct measures of student success in achievinglearning outcomes.

Page 24.1160.2IntroductionFor a number of years now, engineering instructors throughout the world have begun toexperiment with the notion of a “flipped” or “inverted” classroom. This teaching approachencourages students to gain the required base knowledge of a concept prior to class through short“mini-lecture” videos or other preparatory exercises. The great potential for this approach is thatit provides instructors with the opportunity to reimagine and redesign the in-class experience tocreate a more active learning environment.Recently, this approach was applied to the teaching of an electric and magnetic fields course aspart of the second-year electrical and computer engineering curriculum at the University ofToronto, which is a large
