The cohort was composed of ten electrical engineering majors who took the classas an elective, and twenty-six computer engineering majors for whom the course is required. Thecourse offering described here was similar to previous semesters with nearly identical topicalcoverage and pacing using the same text, lecture materials, and lab facilities.

Co-learning is an approach that allows students to work together in diversegroups and gives both high and low ability learners across various subjects the opportunity tolearn from each other (Sultan, Hussain, & Kanwal, 2020). On the other hand, co-teaching is acollaborative model of teaching wherein two or more instructors work together to teach the samecourse. A strong correlation has been

Details are presented on a program that has been developedto conduct feral battery surveys as components of K-12 grade educational projects on theenvironmental implications of batteries, and to partner K-12 student teams with universityresearch. This program offers an opportunity for hands-on education about issues such as heavymetal toxicity, environmental economics, non-point source pollution and recycling.

microcontroller systems can form the basis for a very successful course inmicrocontroller systems design. Such courses are often found in undergraduate ComputerEngineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science curricula, usually offered during thejunior or senior year of study. A successful microcontroller systems design course will normallyinclude a large amount of hands-on development and experimentation with a physicaldevelopment system. Ideally, a course would include experimentation with a variety of differenttypes of microcontroller systems. However, because of time constraints in the class and theexperiment with systems to a reasonable degree of depth, most courses are centered on a singledevelopment system.

Atthe Purdue West Lafayette campus, very few students stop at the A.S. point. The curriculum,like most engineering technology programs, is a very hands-on program with labs accompanyingalmost every ECET course. For many years, the Purdue ECET program has taken pride in beingone of only a few EET programs in the United States with a strong electric power program. Theplan of study includes a required electrical power and controls course that has been previouslydescribed.3 Junior/senior electives include a course oriented toward electric

For the evaluation process, students were given regular course notesand textbook recommendations as their main learning materials and used BT as a parallel sourceof information to better facilitate their learning process. After making BT available to students,we surveyed them to receive feedback on the usability, effectiveness, and accuracy of BT.

While these circuits are instructive, the text considers the basic notion of a FSM as acircuit that controls other circuits. FRDD emphasizes the difference between Mealy and Moore-type FSMs including their flip-flop-based implementations. This approach uses timing diagramsto highlight the functional differences between FSMs types and also includes related topics suchas self-correcting FSMs, hang-states, setup/ hold times, and maximum system clock frequencies.FRDD places special emphasis on state diagram representations of FSMs because state diagramsare common in many engineering fields and computer science.
