, 2001). For these reasons, engineering programs haveworked to incorporate more non-technical skills into their curriculum by introducing cornerstoneand capstone design courses to the curriculum (Dym, Agogino, Eris, Frey, & Leifer, 2005).These engineering design courses generally aim to involve students in the design of a product orprocess while working in a team environment. They usually include both an individualcomponent and advocate for the use of a particular design methodology (Dutson, Todd,Magleby, & Sorensen, 1997). Another trend that is driving innovation in engineering educationis the emergence if the maker movement that has been driven by the recent developments indesign and fabrication tools (Hagel, Brown, & Kulasooriya

the new faculty member has no idea why. They teach the samematerial in the same way to both groups, but only one class responds positively while another does not respond atall. It is useful, then, to contemplate the source of the class cultures that allow one group to learn effectively andanother to reject learning in a parallel class.The students being observed for this paper are attending a four year technical college with programs leading tobachelor degrees in engineering, engineering technology, computer science, interior design, industrial design, andarchitecture. Students all take a series of general education courses in English, mathematics, various sciences, thearts and humanities. The majority of the cultural differences between

Given the growing adoption of gamification in STEM and other technicalfields, this paper aims to establish a pathway for incorporating gamification into power systemeducation, emphasizing its alignment with trends observed in other domains.Table 1.

the SolidWorks CAD software.This semester-long class meets three days per week for two hours each day. Traditionally, theclass has emphasized the capabilities of the software, especially as they relate to generating partmodels and assemblies. Students are introduced to formal engineering drawings and tolerancing,but these are not emphasized. Students work in teams to identify a need and design a solution forthat need. Although each team delivers a formal presentation of their design at the end of thesemester, they do not follow the established engineering process.Having witnessed the struggles that capstone students experience, when one of authors beganteaching EGR 201 in the Fall of 2020, he attempted to model the class after the capstone

Like engine controllers, laser printers required sophisticated pro-grams. The page description language processors embedded in the printers converted graphicscommands into pixels for printing on the laser print engine.

As a result, many laser printers used heterogeneous multi-processor architectures, either with ASICs supporting a main CPU or with multiple CPUs.In the 1990’s, sophisticated embedded processors have moved into many
