collection and analysis of classroom video data (e.g., [13], [14]) or ofinterviews with think-aloud protocols [15]. Of course, video- and interview-based case studies ofstudent participation in engineering design learning experiences are crucially important forbuilding theory and improving curriculum and pedagogy. However, it is also important for theengineering education community to have assessment tools that are feasible for implementationacross an entire class in a single session. The evaluate-and-improve tool that we have developedwas easily implemented by the classroom teacher and richly generative of student engineeringdesign practices. It offers an alternative to existing elementary engineering assessments thatfocus on knowledge of

learning techniques in enhancing studentperformance in remote ECE courses with a lab section. We used quantitative (statistical analysis)and qualitative (surveys) methods to study the effect of active learning on students' performanceon class assignments and exams and their perception of active learning on their education. Thestudy considers two classes covering embedded circuit design and feedback control over thesummer semester of 2021. Both courses have a 3-credit theory section plus a 1-credit lab section.Completing the lab experiments requires a good understanding of the theory presented earlier inthe week during the regular remote class meeting.

. Page 4.218.8An assessment of the success that this interdisciplinary approach has had in promoting technicalwriting skills is very subjective. Students still complain about the amount of work for minimalcredit but there appears to have been a notable improvement in their attitudes toward theemphasis on writing in this laboratory. The faculty that teach the subsequent courses report theyhave seen a vast improvement in the professional quality of the reports from the veterans of thelinked courses. Unfortunately, some students tend to avoid the difficult logical thought processthat is required to generate a professional report in favor of things that they want to do and givethem immediate gratification. Inordinate amounts of time may be spent

Our edge detection algorithm described previously relies on differences in pixel colorwhile scanning through the image. For tables with a dense amount of text or minute paddingbetween table cells and their entries, our edge detection algorithm often interpreted multiplerows/columns as a single row/column (Figure 4). We furthermore believe this problem wasexacerbated by our image binarization algorithm; while effective in improving the quality oflarger images, for smaller images, we imagine binarization made deducing table dimensionsharder for our edge detection algorithm.

However,manual construction of graphics and investigation of the effect of different design parameters onthe resulting column are time consuming and tedious procedures.
