tocapture a more comprehensive picture of software usability across computing platforms.The methodology has been validated by performing an initial study using the tasks andperformance metrics across each of the defined computing platforms. The results from theseinitial tests have allowed us to make improvements to the testing methodology as well as somehypotheses for further testing. This proposed methodology, when used in conjunction withqualitative research, can provide a reliable approach for cross-platform usability analysis.Some considerations for educational design of cross platform methodology are discussed.1.

The originalvision was of robots being built by us, with the students then using the robots to solveengineering problems. In practice, the students asked to build the robots themselves, withus supervising.

Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET), and otherprivate organizations are beginning to effect some changes in the academic culture. However,it has become evident that the teaching and learning processes need to be modeled as oneprocess in order to optimize the product created from them: knowledge and the ability of lifelong learning. In other words, it is now imperative to address teaching and learningsimultaneously to take advantage of the results obtained by various independent researchers.A model and a prototype tool that treat teaching and learning as an integrated process havebeen developed using TQM and CB approach to assist instructors in classroom learningmanagement.

Wedeveloped and evaluated two hands-on circuit education approaches, the Circuit Sticks and thePre-Prepared Copper Tape Circuits. Both methods were designed for first-grade students toimprove accessibility and engagement in early circuit learning. The Circuit Sticks provide astructured, guided experience, using color-coded polarity indicators and modular assembly tolower the barrier to entry.

The pros and cons of bothsides are considered, and results from the use of three different generic processors are presented.IntroductionOver the past 20 years, digital signal processing (DSP) has been introduced into theundergraduate electrical engineering curriculum.
