Our results showed 41 common correlated pairsbetween these two samples, all at the p<0.05 level of significance. The implications of thesecorrelations for engineering educators are discussed, along with potential directions for futureresearch to expand this area of study.1. IntroductionThe use of concept maps in engineering education research is growing, with applications in theassessment of knowledge mastery and integration within courses, programs, and across multipledisciplines2,7,12,13,14,19,21. Concept maps are also being used to assess the effectiveness of theearly stages of engineering problem solving and

learning the procedural approach to C. The wisdom of thisapproach applies equally well to persons wishing to develop code for embedded systems.Electrical engineering students traditionally have a C++? or Java course, plus a microprocessorscourse covering an assembler language. None of these languages are ideal for small embeddedsystems, which require the reliability provided by object-oriented programming without theoverhead of a high-level language (such as Java). A more universal, relatively low-level,portable language such as C is more useful for small embedded system applications.The crash course is designed to cover small embedded systems (devices without an operatingsystem) plus programming techniques applicable to these systems, for both

Additionally, we teach the fundamentals of microcomputer programming to all electricalengineering majors. Over the last four years we have implemented a variety of in-househardware and software teaching tools to enhance our educational mission while emphasizing anexciting, hands-on approach to computer education. In this paper we will detail theseinnovations and describe how they fit together for a cohesive educational experience.BACKGROUND The digital systems curriculum at the United

It is recommended to startreflecting early in the engineering program to better the students’ perceptions of the courses andthemselves, but this can only be the case if faculty are involved. The purpose of this study was tohelp the teachers create reflection activities to help with their students’ learning styles [3].Another study was conducted on three large institutions in the midwest to address how 2-yearstudents in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) courses perceivethemselves as learners.

As a result of theworkshop, it has been recommended that every electrical engineering program should have acombined course in electric machines and power systems to optimize the curriculum.
