Other researchers have recognized theneed for beginning students to first learn to follow directions accurately6, even before taking onmore complicated activities. Montes et al. discuss the method of “Laboratory Practice Based onQuestions7,” which uses “Vee Mapping” of student-initiated questions and methods of applyingtheory to practice in the laboratory8. Although PBL has its successes9, it has also been observedthat PBL can sometimes result in less class material being presented as a trade-off forprofessional

The SI program offers optional, non-remedial discussion sessions tostudents enrolled in a required freshman-level course with historically high percentages of D’s,F’s, drops, and withdraws (DFQW percentage). The current degree plan advises incomingfreshmen to enroll in EE 302 Introduction to Electrical Engineering during their first fullsemester; the majority of the course enrollment is in the fall.

It was the focus of the capstoneinstructor’s participation in an Ethics Across the Curriculum (EAC) initiative launched by theChair in Applied Ethics in the Department of Philosophy. Ethics as it relates to engineeringdecision making and the related effects is addressed in the risk management requirement ofsenior design. Since the senior design projects all have real clients, and involve real prototypes orprocess implementation, risk management is a real concern for the teams. This provides theadded benefit of integrating ethics into existing course material rather than treating it as astandalone topic. This practice addresses a known challenge with ethics education [1], [2], andhas been recommended in

LED lighting was the clear choice for the team’s design - LED bulbs arecheaper, more energy efficient, and longer-lasting than halogen lighting. Additionally, theygenerate less waste heat than halogen bulbs, making this option
