spring of 2009-2010, an introductory environmental engineeringcourse was re-designed to include four new environmental laboratory modules that use aninquiry-based “open” experiment for enhanced student learning. This research was fundedthrough the NSF Innovations in Engineering Education (IEECI) program to develop modulesutilizing the pedagogy of problem-based learning and case studies to teach new environmentalsustainable design concepts. Problem based learning (PBL) and case studies are novelapproaches for laboratory modules. In PBL and case studies, students are assigned real-worldproblems to discuss, research, and solve as teams. This method diverges from the traditional“step-by-step” method currently used in laboratory courses and provides

Raspberry Pi (RPi) devicesrepresent an ideal hardware/software framework that embodies all these technologies through itssimple architecture, small form factor (that minimizes the volume and footprint of a desktopcomputer), and ability to integrate various sensors and actuators that network together and connectto the Cloud. Therefore, one of the strategies of Computer Science Department, to enhance depthof learning concepts, has been to infuse Raspberry Pi (RPi) in computer science courses. RPi hasbeen incorporated since 2017 in targeted courses, notably, Computer Organization & AssemblyLanguage, Computer Architecture, Database Management Design & Implementation, Unix/LinuxProgramming, Internet Programming, and Senior Project.

individually? After reviewing literatureon both project based learning and exceptional coaching, we have found that much can be learned fromJohn Wooden, Phil Jackson and other coaches. This paper will organize some of the best practices insports coaching and draw parallels that will enhance student learning in project based instruction. Thepaper discusses the parallels between the instructor and the coach and highlights three broad categoriesof techniques: 1) Practice and games, 2) Teamwork and individual performance, and 3) Individualfeedback for improvement. Some of these techniques have been used to successfully enhance learning ina senior design course in Industrial Engineering at Cal Poly. The insights in this article will open up arich area of
