A key part ofmastering the concepts in this course is the integration of a laboratory component to demonstratereal world application of the concepts presented. The laboratory assignments typically involve abreadboard, resistors, capacitors, inductors, operational amplifiers, function generators, powersupplies, multimeters, and oscilloscopes. Due to the required laboratory assignments, there weresome challenges in transitioning from bench top lab instruments to laptop virtual instruments andthese will be discussed.The motivation for this paper was to examine the efficacy of offering an electrical

course to the electronics course the students will take in the following semester.IntroductionSurveys of undergraduate perceptions about electrical engineering have indicated a conflictbetween student expectations for the subject and their undergraduate experience. While theyanticipated studying a practical subject with some necessary background theory, they perceivetheir undergraduate experience as being highly abstract with little emphasis on application,particularly before the senior year. This problem is cited as one of the possible causes for highattrition rates from the engineering fields.1 It is essential, therefore, to emphasize practicalapplications at every level.

This hands-onproject bridged the gap between theory and application, rendering abstract concepts tangible andfostering a deeper understanding of programming principles. Students were also required toapply programming knowledge to interface with sensors and actuators present in the Micro:Bitplatform.Overall, students engaged in a multifaceted learning experience, combining both theoretical andpractical elements.

Thisframework will serve to guide further research in the assessment of this project, wheredeveloping motivation and passion for electric powered vehicles is a principal goal.The results further indicate that students in the project classes perceive their classes to be more“motivational” based on these five dimensions.
