A future examination of learning outcomes when students arewriting their own literate programs in microprocessors is warranted and may result in expectedlearning gains.6 CASE 2: Digital System Design CourseThe digital system design course used for this study was a split-level course targeted at seniorundergraduate and introductory graduate students. The course reviewed and revisited digitallogic design topics from a prerequisite introductory course and added complexity and practicalaspects not covered in the earlier course. All of the coursework was captured in VHDL

For these two courses our data allow us tocompare participants and non-participants in the grade categories final course average, finalexam, and classroom attendance. We also calculate ABC rates for Calculus I – that is, thepercent of students earning a grade of A, B, or C. In most cases, our data allow us to makecomparisons of

reduceattic air temperature. The results show that introducing IEC can lower the attic air temperaturefrom 140°F to 90°F. This reduction in attic air temperature will reduce the total heat transferfrom the attic to the air-conditioned space by ~75%. This study suggested an indirectevaporative cooler with a flow rate of 150 CFM to cool the attic air. The total cost forimplementing the project is anticipated to be around $600, and by considering the interest rateof 6% and the 10-year lifespan of the project, the house owner can save approximately $4,970in a decade.

Since the new classroom design incorporated up-to-datelearning technologies that have been used to support flipped classroom implementations, it wasassumed that the faculty utilizing the new workspace would also integrate new teachinginitiatives, mainly the “flipped classroom” technique.Flipping an Engineering Technology Course Research conducted by DeLozier

How hard a teacher mustwork to convince today’s college students that study and learning can be interesting and evenjoyful activities! If learning is like play it will be more absorbing unless the student has been soaffected that only truly dull and serious work is equated with learning. Probably the onlydifference between work and play is the attitude we have toward any given activity. Therefore,the author regularly makes
