extended to other courses with students of varying levels of preparation. INTRODUCTIONObjective and Goals: One of the challenges of the Introductory Electrical Engineering course atthe United States Naval Academy is teaching students who have varying levels of priorengineering experience. Prior experience includes: no exposure, electrical engineering courses atother institutions, or military technical courses. This experience mix further diminishes theefficacy of the traditional passive-student listening/active-instructor lecturing format, that hasbeen shown to be the least effective teaching methodology [1]. Therefore, a new variant of thecooperative learning technique was used in two sections of this course

Consider a "theme" for your service and relate to your research.6. Serve your technical society. This is also a good way to get people familiar with your work for external letters. Don't overdo it as an untenured faculty member though.7. Don't try and be perfect in the classroom. There are two reasons for this. First, it is easy to let this consume your time and, generally, is not as productive for tenure and promotion as is research. Secondly, if you have things too "down pat" in the classroom, students can't see your thought process as you approach a problem. By all means be

Linking these offers a multitude of opportunities to changethe conversation about STEM, engage the next generation of leaders and make our owncommunities a better place to live. It can also impact the diversity in our classrooms. Thisinteractive workshop engages participants in developing a plan for linking service-learning andSTEM. The Learning Objectives are:1: Describe at least 1 STEM community project2: List at least 3 standards that could be enhanced through service-learning3: Describe how to use reflection to enhance learning4: Describe at least 3 examples of engineering service-learning

The number thatqualifies a class as large is not clearly defined, but most believe that a class of more than 100qualifies. The idea that small classes automatically solve communication problems betweenstudents and teachers is false. Most students will agree that a large class with a good teacher iscertainly better than a small class with an ineffective one.Having taught as many as 325 students in

As far as global satisfaction with theCPLD online laboratory is concerned, the results help us to strengthen our claim that theremote solution has the same effect on student satisfaction as the local one.Using both online tool support and laboratories has the potential of removing the obstacles ofcost, time-inefficient use of facilities, inadequate technical support, and limited access todesign and laboratory resources.

improve things can be invaluable training todemonstrate to students that: 1. The solution(s) presented are not the only possible solutions. 2. Ethically better solutions are possible, and, can be outlined by professionals-in-training such as themselves. 3. In some cases, the ethically poorer solutions are also technically less challenging and it is kind of fun to develop the more challenging solution. The above are starkly apparent in the case of the case study involving voice assistant devices suchas Alexa and the choice to stream data back to a central location. In fact, students reach the conclusionthat not only is constantly streaming data back to a central location unnecessary to meet theapplication needs but also may be a
