tothe laboratory or project-based approach to engineering education, that is the problem ofresources, both time and money. Such courses need specialized physical resources, extrateaching assistant (TA) time and can consume excessive amounts of both student and instructortime. It’s possible to cut back on the time demands (ie. reduce the number of labs), but with anobvious negative impact on the scope of what is learned. It’s also possible to reduce the timerequired by providing a less open ended project. But this has a significant pedagogical impact,as discussed in detail in the paper appropriately titled “What did I really learn in mymechatronics class ?

Inthis context, the Internet continues to demonstrate its versatility and effectiveness as atool for curriculum delivery. As stated by Plaisent, institutions of higher education willincreasingly rely on various forms of web-based delivery in order to survive in the 21stcentury. This

results of a project that developed and validated a measure of classroomactivities and student learning outcomes among undergraduate students enrolled inengineering courses. The measure was pilot tested at six of the seven colleges of engineeringthat make up the Engineering Coalition of Schools for Excellence in Education andLeadership (ECSEL). With support from the National Science Foundation, ECSEL hassought (among its several goals) to enhance undergraduate engineering students’ learningthrough the introduction and diffusion of design throughout the undergraduate engineeringcurriculum on their campuses.

. The activity isbased on sixteen individuals who are assigned to conduct specific tasks in a manner analogous tospecific computer hardware elements. Tasks assigned to humans include: I/O, memory, controlunit, ALU, and registers. The central processing unit consists of five internal registers, an arith-metic/logic unit, and a control unit. These components are interconnected via an internal bus.Bus arbitration is implemented using tri-state buffers. The CPU communicates with memory andthe I/O devices through an 8-bit data bus, a 4-bit address bus, and a control bus. The instructionset includes a total of 9 instructions designed to perform arithmetic/logic operations, controlflow, and I/O operations involving memory and external devices. Prior
