The system is modelled in VHDL and simulated using Xilinxdesign tools to demonstrate operation of the processor. A basic microcontroller is created byadding memory-mapped input/output (I/O). The system is implemented in hardware on a fieldprogrammable gate array (FPGA). The processor can then be interfaced with peripheral devicesto demonstrate functional applications.A key component of the Computer Architecture course is a student

Qualitativedata on the students’ experiences with the use of ChatGPT as a tool in studying were collectedand analyzed. The results revealed that while students found the capabilities of ChatGPTintriguing, they remained skeptical in the output and reasoning given in regard to their MATLABassignment.1 IntroductionIn November of 2022, OpenAI introduced ChatGPT, a natural language processing model, to theworld. Two months later, it gained 100 million users, making it the fastest growing consumer appin history [1]. The name stems from the model’s dependence on the Generative Pre-trainedTransformer (GPT

In this paper, the impact of an internally developed smartphone application called KarmaCollab is evaluated alongside the incorporation of socialized teaching and course gamification. We will look at UC Davis Electrical and Computer Engineering laboratory courses and the impact KarmaCollab had on the online course format. The relationships between course grades, KarmaCollab app engagement, student self-reported sentiment via an end-of-quarter survey, and teaching staff interviews are presented to showcase interesting remote learning insights.

work in this area andconcludes the paper.2. BackgroundIn the latter part of 1995, Old Dominion University's Department of Physics started adopting amore uniform method for teaching undergraduate laboratory courses. Following this change, in1996, the department released the first edition of a comprehensive laboratory manual forundergraduates. This marked a significant shift in the instructional methodology forundergraduate physics at ODU. The development of virtual laboratories is set to enhance thisteaching approach further. With the integration of pre-arranged educational materials, includingvirtual labs, educators will be able to adhere to uniform teaching standards. This uniformity willensure that students receive a consistent and coherent

Tewolde presented a method for improving studentmotivation in a microcontroller-based embedded systems course to enhance students’ role inactive learning [10]. The method consists of three tools, namely: laboratory assignments forpractical hands-on activities, “peer teaching” techniques, and self-proposal, which enablesindividual creativity.
