. This paperdescribes an investigation of problem-based learning on undergraduate electrical engineeringstudents’ conceptual understanding. Fifty-five students enrolled in an electrical engineeringcourse at a Mid-western university participated in this student. The study utilized a within-subjects A-B-A-B research design with traditional lecture as the baseline phase and problem-based learning as the experimental phase of the study. Participants completed pre-post testssurrounding the four topics covered in the study. Results suggested that participants' learninggains from problem-based learning were more than learning gains from traditional lecture.IntroductionRecently, there has been a shift from using lecture-based teaching methods in the

In ECE these two courses coveredintroduction to programming and digital logic, with the former taught by the Computer Science(CS) department and the latter by ECE.There were a number of reasons why we decided to redesign our undergraduate curricula.Through our own assessment and feedback from employers and alumni, several programmaticissues were identified: a) insufficient programming skills, b) introduction to design only inupper-division courses, c) weak communication skills.
