Design competitions into the undergraduate experience, studentsare better prepared to enter the field of engineering and make more meaningful contributions totheir firms at an earlier rate.According to a report published for The Royal Academy of Engineering, UK (2006)1, the pace ofchange in industry is expected to intensify in both the technological and non-technologicaldomains. Particular themes that have emerged include: (a) an increased need for firms to focuson solving customer problems; (b) a growing requirement to provide system solutions tothose problems; (c) and the increasing complexity of the management task. Anotherimportant factor is globalization which will continue to affect both the demand and the supplyside of industry.Certain

Courses that require littleor no writing beyond mathematical problem solving are not assigned a target at all.Each time an Electrical Engineering or support course (e.g., Mathematics, Physics,Chemistry) is offered, the instructor completes a Course Worksheet which must discussevidence that indicates the extent to which the course outcomes are being achieved. Asample worksheet is provided in Appendix B. The worksheet must also document howthe course has been changed to address action items that were identified in the previousoffering of the course. This worksheet, along with the syllabus, samples of student work,and other evidence that support the conclusions, are placed in a

Thus showing that the transformation had a positiveimpact on student confidence in the introductory class’s core topics. The survey can be found inAppendix B.3. Program Structure/ Course DescriptionThe introductory computer engineering course is a 3-credit hour class that meets 3 times a weekfor 50 minutes over 16 weeks. The course is meant to introduce the student to using a computerto interact with real world inputs and outputs, or simply, embedded systems. The nameembedded systems comes from the idea that

We decided to focus on the technical requirements of typical first 2 years such asmathematics, physics, and electrical & computer engineering courses. In essence, the commontwo years would necessarily increase the math/science requirements for ET majors, and increasethe lab exposure and applications requirements for E majors. The following modifications aredeemed to be new for ET and E programs:1. New for ET programs: a. Include one math course per semester, starting with Calculus I; College Algebra and pre-Calculus become necessary pre-requisites. b. Physics and circuit analysis

This step is thenfollowed by identifying ways of student learning attainment and appropriate mechanisms thatwill allow conveying concepts of these kinds.The purpose of this research study is to explore the development of a quality curriculum in high-performance CG (HPCG) education coupled with data describing how students in such coursesperceived the content, assessment, and pedagogy they experienced. We utilized Wiggins andMcTighe’s backward design (1997) 1 as a framework for designing this study. Their backwarddesign process (p.9) is composed of three main stages: (a) identifying the desired learningoutcomes - the content of the lesson, (b) determining the acceptable evidence

In order to make any kindof predictive analysis, these basic models benchmark the process and therefore some predictivesimulations are necessary.

Not having appropriate educational experiences risks a decline in UStechnical expertise. Various companies have developed commercial software packages foranalysis, diagnosis and simulation of real-time embedded-systems networking protocols.However, these commercial software packages are very expensive and complex to be used forundergraduate courses. We have developed a user-friendly and easy-to-use software

These elevenoutcomes may be classified into two groups. The first group, consisting of (3.a), (3.b), (3.c), (3.e),and (3.k) are technical outcomes; for example, outcome (3.a) is an ability to apply knowledgeof mathematics, science, and engineering. The second group consists of the remaining outcomes,(3.d), (3.f), (3.g), (3.h), (3.i), and (3.j), are related to what might be called professional skills 20 (alsooccasionally referred to as soft skills), as well as those related to societal issues.

The grade distribution for this class shows a significant increase in numberof Grade A results and consequently decrease in number of Grades B and C.

The tutorials guide them through the process that they then need to utilize to accomplish the task. 4. Challenges a. The challenges are the most critically assessed portions of the labs. Once students complete the previous three sections, we make sure that they have all the prerequisite knowledge and tools to accomplish the challenge. b. It is in the challenges where we assess critical thinking, creativity, and the effective application of knowledge

We expect that the ability to capture and process actual real-world signalsusing their own hardware will be particularly impactful for many of our students. Due to therelatively large tunable bandwidth, students can explore a large range of the RF spectrum and“see” signals such as FM radio, digital television, amateur radio, GPS, and commercial aircraftADS-B transmission.For the purposes of our course, the mobile studio consists of the following:  An RTL-SDR and stock antenna.  A modern laptop computer running Windows.  Supporting software packages, including o

regarding what a student feels are the correct answers, specific rulesbased on a student’s drop-down selections can be applied once certain responses are removed fromconsideration. In this case, the rules would be applied after the three responses indicating a changein the power of R1 were removed. So too, responses that correspond to drop-down selections inwhich ONLY the power of R2 was believed to change could be removed to avoid lumping localizedwith sequential misconceptions. Even without using drop-down selection to eliminate the potentialfor false positives, the results are promising considering only a very simplistic word-matchingapproach was used. B.

Many computer science educators have argued for this approach in which the firstcourse introduces to a broader range of topics in the CSE discipline. Creating a universalintroductory “breadth-first” course that introduces a dynamic field like CSE is a very dauntingtask. Developing a successful stand-alone breadth-first implementation, however, has proven tobe even more difficult. One option though has been to use the breadth-first model as a lead-in toa more
