simple, certain, and objective. Similarly,students’ epistemic beliefs can clash with their experiences or outcome expectations, resulting indifficulties for both instructors and other students, particularly in innovative educational settings[76]. These examples highlight the important role of epistemic cognition in students’ learningand success, development of critical thinking skills, and transition to real-world engineeringpractice. Consequently, educators should consider students’ evolving epistemic cognition andwork to integrate pedagogical strategies, evaluation practices, support systems, and curricularmaterials to support its development.Given the parallels between epistemic cognition and engineering judgment, we argue thatepistemic

. The principal reasons for initiating this major change were to:i) allow additional time for students to become engaged in more hands-on activities during theworkshop period, ii) create teaching opportunities for graduate students, iii) give students theopportunity to present and to become aware of contemporary engineering issues, and iv)collect/analyze data for conducting engineering education research as part of the DLR projectactivities.

The content wasdeveloped to implement a systems approach that uses the modern electric power network as aninterconnected system to be designed, analyzed, and tested. The major hardware components of theelectrical power system are studied and analyzed in individual laboratory

Engineering Education, 2015 Evolution of the Instructional ProcessorAbstractMost modern commercial microprocessors are too complex to be used as introductory examples.Many digital design courses and texts use hardware description language models of theseprocessors, but they are often ad hoc. What is needed is a basic processor with sufficientcomplexity that can be modified, programmed, and tested.An instructional processor has been developed for use as a design example in an AdvancedDigital Systems course at The Citadel. The initial architecture provides sufficient complexity todemonstrate fundamental programming concepts, and the entire system is modeled and simulatedin VHDL.
