paper is based on the recommendations made by the National Science Foundation andControl Systems Society of IEEE. In light of those recommendations and issues discussed at aNSF/CSS workshop, the author raises the question of appropriate contents for a control systemcourse as taught in a typical first course ET program. Presently, the majority of electrical, somemechanical and almost all electromechanical engineering technology programs have a course intheir curriculum called control systems. Even though they carry the same name, most often theircontents are drastically different. In many programs the focus of the course is on the applicationof typical classical control. There are some programs where the whole course is aboutapplication and

acceleration on an FPGA. Themotion estimation algorithm is the most computationally intensive part of MPEG encoding,typically requiring almost half of the computation time.10 Most of the MPEG-4 encoding wouldbe handled by a pair of soft processor cores implemented on the FPGA, similar to the proposalby Kumala et al.11 as illustrated in Figure 2. Here both the “Master” and “Slave” blocks wouldbe implemented by the soft processor cores. The critical computation in the motion estimationengine is the block matching routine that uses a Sum of Absolute Difference (SAD) calculation.A recent paper proposed a parallel adder tree for efficiently computing the values required by theSAD-based block matching algorithm.12 This student research project involved

,graduate students, and faculty. This paper analyzes the student learning outcomes, forEngineering and Engineering Technology (E&ET) programs, where the curriculum has beentailored to include undergraduate research, as compared to lecture & lab-based curriculum.Previous research, on which the present work is based, shows that research projects allowstudents to explore, discover and innovate in a limited period of time and space. Theliterature reveals that undergraduate research helps to integrate students with the faculty andresults in publications which appear in peer-reviewed journals. Thus the student is able tocreate portfolios that shed light on their learning and skills development in the professions.Through this work, the following
