As high speed, low power,wireless, and hand-held embedded engineering designs become more common, computerengineering students have a growing need for knowledge and experience in design andmanufacturing issues related to SI and EMC. We have found these experiments to be valuableand effective in enhancing student interest in RF, SI and EMC.1 IntroductionElectromagnetic compatibility (EMC) and signal integrity (SI) have become pervasive designissues in high-speed designs of digital systems, wireless devices, mixed signal systems, andhand-held devices.

. For example, an instructor mayrequire one line of comment for every ten lines of codes. These numbers are determinedwithout sufficient scientific support; hence, students may resist the requirements and treatthem as burdens. Open-source programs are widely used today and they can be considered as samples forteaching programming. We analyze 6 open-source software projects with 6233 files and 3.27million lines of code to discover their commonalities. The projects are python, gdb, emacs,httpd, kde, and doxygen. These open-source programs are used and contributed by manyprogrammers. These particular programs are selected as examples of high quality code byvirtue of their extensive and successful use in industry and academia. These programs

Othercomments included helping students to connect with a past course, making industry contacts forguest speakers considering value creation, reaching out to others who also use these techniques,and using Course Mapping. The third open-ended question, “How might the Teaching Institutehave been improved?” resulted in two primary themes. The most frequent suggestion forimprovement was to include more example modules. The second most frequent suggestion forimprovement was to provide more time for discussion of modules that participants design alongwith more one-on-one sessions for faculty to explore new teaching strategies.

qualitative scholars who urge integration of data generation and analysis so thateach informs the other [39-42], I embedded “narrative analysis” directly within data generationprocesses (Figure 1). Narrative analysis is the process by which researchers organize dataelements (i.e., discrete stories) into a coherent developmental account [34]. In effect, narrativeanalysis is a synthesis of data rather than its separation into constituent parts (i.e., coding). I usednarrative analysis to create representative, experiential narratives in collaboration with eachparticipant. Later, I analyzed the data across the narratives, looking for outcomes related to theresearch questions, to provide transferable conclusions and recommendations for practice. Tofurther

fostering more connections to the industry stakeholders,integrating curricula, and enhancing the overall faculty experience (Besterfield-Sacre, Cox,Borrego, Beddoes, and Zhu (2014). A positive classroom experience can lead to furtherinteractions with a professor, which is especially important when considering that students aremore likely to seek advice from a professor than a peer when attempting to determine the bestpath toward success in an engineering course (Meyers, Silliman, Gedde, & Ohland, 2010). Inother words, if undergraduates have had a valuable experience during lectures, they may seek outthese same instructors for assistance after class (e.g., office hours); they may also be more likelyto want to talk to these instructors about

They also choose a theme and story to link the puzzles together with a narrative. 3) Each class works collaboratively together to make one big, traditional escape room. In this project, students are divided into small groups and larger committees. The small groups make two puzzles, a fabricated object (cabinet, skee ball machine, mirror maze, etc.), and a 3D printed object linked to their puzzle. The committees help link all the groups together by deciding the flow of the puzzles, the narrative of the room, the look and design of the room, and the marketing of the room to the local
