new budgeting system made it attractive for us to change the freshmancurriculum in an attempt to stem this bleeding. As a part of the widespread redesign of Tulane’s“Introduction to Engineering” course (really the only contact with the engineering school duringthe students’ first semester on-campus), mini-labs designed for no more than three freshmenattendees per session were added to the requirements. An overview of all aspects of the changedfreshman course may be found elsewhere.[1]We had three specific goals for the freshmen involved with mini-labs. First, we wanted to get thefreshmen into the research labs in small, manageable groups (2-3 students per session) andprovide some type of hands-on experience for them; we had been told by

Electrical and computer engineering undergraduate programsrequire at least one embedded system design or programming course to train the futureworkforce in this important field.Many interesting embedded system teaching paradigms have been presented in [1-3]. In thispaper, we present our experience with teaching a microcontroller based system design course tothe junior undergraduate students. In this course, our focus mostly has been in teaching input /output interface design through proper programming techniques. We used the technique ofcompare and contrast of multiple solutions for such interface designs as outlined in the rest of thepaper. We

Bascom et al., 2016 used microfluidics and high-resolution imaging for rootdevelopment of moss (hyscomitrella patens) to overcome the problem of imaging in solid media.Protonemata (moss filaments) with a thin film of agar medium was used for several days, and thenlive cell imaging was performed.

In the modified linear circuits sequence, there was a strongeremphasis on laboratory experience, project work, and open-ended design. There was also anincreased use of pre- and post-lab simulation. In the second linear circuits course, an activelearning model was also employed to improve learning by allowing students to practice moreproblem solving at their own pace10,11. The students met with their professors twice a week for 2½ hours for lecture, recitation, problem and/or laboratory work.

The intent of using simulation software inENTC 395 is to foster a better understanding of dynamic processes and their relation tounderlying mathematical and physical processes.

For these reasons, designing the first few assessment tables took time, attention, andmuch revision, but in the end, Table 1 was designed as the assessment table for the assignmentpresented in Figure 2. From our experience in designing assessment tables that worked well withthe assignments, we recommend that instructors actually sketch limited expectations of whatfindings they expect in the final document and go from there. Once the expectations are stated,more specific guidelines may or may not be required, but explicitly stating these expectations forthe students greatly reduced both our own subjectivity in evaluation and reduced the students’frustration in losing points for something they had not realized was important
