Typically, the topic is simplified by combining the common characteristicsof all microcontrollers and presenting them generically in a way that enables students to translatethose characteristics to various types of microcontrollers when needed to.1 IntroductionThe title of this article is deliberately exaggerated to stress on what needs to be done in theearly stages of the topic before students are exposed to any specific microcontroller classes. Thisinformation is not covered in a single first lecture only, but rather in the first two or three lectureson the subject. Today, there are many systems that are controlled using microcontrollers; such systems, bet-ter known as embedded systems, constitute the largest share of modern consumer and

What alternatives should David Jackson consider? 3. What should David Jackson do and why? 4. Who will be affected by this decision?Students were not alerted to address ethical issues in their answers because one of the purposesof the study was to determine whether students would identify the existence of ethical issueswithout being prompted to do so. In a second and separate session, these same students responded to the DIT-2 instrument.The participants recorded their student identification numbers in both sessions so that theirresponses could

The qualities and skills associated with T-shaped professionals also corresponds too many of the skills needed in energy systemsengineering, thus promoting T-shaped professional energy systems engineers. In order todevelop a syllabus that focuses on encouraging student curiosity and innovation, four basicprinciples were established: 1. Engineering education should not amount to the passive delivery of material. It should offer an active learning environment in which the students can build upon the knowledge gained from the classroom. 2. Engineering education is not only about quantitative analysis and technical skills, but

For several years, educators have been worried about the relatively smallnumber of students in general, and girls in particular, who choose science and technology inhigh school and undergraduate programs (Holmegaard et al. in Bamberger 2014). According tothe Georgetown University Center for Education and the Workforce, “For every100 womenwho enter college, 12 will graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in a STEM major, 5 of them will beworking in STEM after 2 years, only 3 of them will still be working in STEM after 10 years(Carnevale, Smith, & Melton, 2014).

Despite traditional teaching methodsexcelling in tackling large bodies of content, undergraduate students graduate with a lack intechnical skills needed for professional growth and success [1]. This gap in technical skills can bereduced by altering the pedagogical approach. Active learning pedagogy has been proven toincrease student performance [2], [3], [4].Active learning refers to the employment of techniques that give the students the opportunity towork together in a small group setting using class activities that are relevant to the course

Given the nature oflecture time in the flipped format (which is closer to a discussion hour than a traditional lecture),this simply added to the instructor contact hour and thus may have reinforced the notion of `extrawork’ often associated with the flipped class room (extra work for students and instructor).The key component of the flipped format is that the class time is turned into 1/3 review of themost difficult to comprehend lecture segments, 1/3 question and answer, and 1/3 setting up andbreaking down of the homework assignments.
