The University of _____ Reduced Instruction Set Computer (MARC)AbstractWe present our design of a VHDL-based, RISC processor instantiated on an FPGA for use inundergraduate electrical engineering courses and research. Our architecture incorporates asimple instruction set serially executed in a 5-stage cycle (fetch, decode, execute, memory, writeback). The design utilizes SRAM memory to store instructions and pushbuttons, switches,LEDs, and 7-segment displays provide feedback and user input. Specifically, we use the AlteraCyclone II to instantiate our system running on the Altera DE2 development and educationboard. We also leverage the associated CAD tools to build this system. Our implementationallows students the ability to easily

results suggest that theselabs effectively introduced students to PLCs, ladder logic, and pneumatic systems.IntroductionLaboratory experiences are an essential part of engineering education, allowing students to gainconcrete understanding of engineering concepts through experimentation on physical systems,augmented by simulation, test, and measurement hardware and software [1,2]. However, it canbe challenging to fit many laboratory-specific courses into an engineering curriculum at aliberal-arts focused institution; leading faculty to adopt a mixture of in-class, virtual, take-home,or homework-style lab experiences [3]. One area where these experiences can be particularlyuseful is in control systems education, as students may struggle to bridge

The overall goal is to develop dis- ciplinary communities of practice across the college of engineering. The approach is being promoted through semester-long faculty workshops and then through a semester of supported implementation of faculty classroom innovations. Changes in faculty beliefs and classroom practice should positively im- pact student performance and retention.

Transferring learning from a single example to anew problem requires that learners induce a schema for that kind of problem from thatsingle example and then apply that schema to a new, contextually varied problem. Thissingle-example approach to teaching problem solving usually results in studentsattempting to mimic the process for solving the problem while ignoring the semantic,structural characteristics of the problem. As a result, when asked to compare problems ortransfer solution methods to more contextually varied problems, student typicallygeneralize problem solutions based on surface level similarities among problems (Chi etal, 1981; Dufresne, Gerace, Hardiman, & Mestre, 1992; Hardiman, Dufresne, &
