Thisresulted in the instructor creating guided studies to accompany the videos; this paper studiesthe process, results, and impact of adding this to a course. Garcia (2018) claims that no priorstudies have investigated the impact of guided practice on student preparedness forintroductory programming; this paper is the first to examine the impact in a higher-levelcomputer science class.The instructor followed Talbert’s model (2017) for both pre-class preparation activities and in-class structure. The opening minutes of class were devoted to questions about prior material,then connecting the pre-class preparation with the topics of the class session.

Scaling up and down appears to be quitepossible in the power range at hand. Ruggedness is also being verified, but appears to be quitegood. Because turbines are quite sensitive to small particles, changing the filter is the mostcommon maintenance action and filter technology becomes important. Power electronics havebecome modularized, as expected. Energy storage to mitigate load variations, meaning batteries,is the largest part of a turbine’s volume. Information technologies continue to advance in theturbine industry. Real

Following this, the course changed its meeting time from three times aweek to four times a week. It now uses a 2+2 format: two days of lecture per week, with eachlecture day followed by laboratory time to facilitate material understanding by hands-on practice.

The data from the transmitter isrecovered by error correction technique using the Matlab code.As part of our goal in the Electrical Engineering and Engineering Technology Departments toexpose our students to hands-on training, the students are given the opportunity to model,simulate and implement the software system design in the broadband (high-speed)communication and mixed signal systems laboratories. The results of these implementationshave been encouraging. The lessons learned, future work and recommendations are discussed inthis paper.1. Introduction

’ PerspectivesIntroductionIn 2022 the Chips and Science Act was passed, which aims to bring more advancedsemiconductor manufacturing back to the US while mitigating supply chain risks andmaintaining US technological and economic leadership. Billions in federal investments as wellas commitments from private companies has revealed the next hurdle; the US is facing a growingworkforce shortage in the semiconductor industry [1] with a projected 67,000 unfilledsemiconductor jobs for technicians, engineers, and computer scientists by 2030 [2]. The shortageof STEM students is a major contributor to the problem. Perhaps even more important is the lackof high school curricula on semiconductors despite almost eighty years of history.To address the problem, we proposed a

choosing a strategy to solve a problem. Blocked practice is still prevalent in schools formany reasons, including the belief that repeated practice of the same drill builds up skills. Theinterleaved practice, on the other hand, would require a re-arrangement of class schedules andthe order in which topics are taught and practiced. Teachers would obviously need to devote moretime and energy in some cases. More importantly, they would need to be trained to implementthe interleaved practice. As benefits of the interleaved practice are being documented in theliterature, this study, to our knowledge, may be one of the first to test it in natural sciences andengineering education. Also, it not only puts interleaving on a strong theoretical (cognitive

It is not known, however, if they can be successfullyused in large classroom settings as the medium for delivering summative assessments. We usedan ARS to deliver daily quizzes in lieu of exams to students in a course on cell and molecularbiology for engineers. We found that ARS can be used for frequent assessment with instantfeedback to the students and with minimal work by the instructor, with exactly the same learningoutcomes

Immediate value is assessed through pre-workshop and post-workshopsurveys. The post-workshop surveys will also point to “potential value,” i.e. the intent tointegrate workshop material into the classes that they teach, or in other professional activities, ifthey don’t teach. For immediate value, 29 faculty attended (16 community college instructors, 13four-year engineering technology professors). 16 out of 29 (55%) faculty currently teachmicrocontrollers in their classes.
