Learning systems integrated with textbook-style resources. This category of learning tools has seen rapid growth and adoption in the past decade. From a teaching and learning perspective these tools are among the most powerful. For example, Mastering by McGraw Hill [20], Wiley Plus [21], and ZyBooks [22]. These tools typically have links into textbook materials or are embedded within textbook resources. Some of these systems include related studies reporting improved grades [23]. However, available systems do not provide detailed step-by-step

By Spring 2023 (as of the writing of this work-in-progress paper), all capstone design projects in the department of EE have been converted tofit the TRUE project model, which means all capstone projects are real-world projects withindustry/community sponsors/partnerships.

Appendix I provides the full list of twelve survey questions. We have chosen question #7 (“Do you feel that your team has functioned effectively as a team whose members together provide leadership, create a collaborative and inclusive environment, establish goals, plan tasks, and meet objectives through the project experience”) as the specific measure.

Through bi-weekly meetings between the two faculty members, bothsections are kept in sync throughout the term. However, leveraging the flexibility offered by PNP,each faculty member can adopt their own teaching style or implement common active learningapproaches based on their teaching strengths and observations of the classes.For example, following Teplitski et al [8] and Aflalo [9], both faculty members implemented apre-exam, question writing activity.

Figure 9 shows the course pass rates of three semesters, fall 2022, spring 2023and fall 2023. The pass rate of spring 2023 is about 2% higher than fall 2022, while the pass rateof fall 2023 is about 6% higher than spring 2023.

Students take it in the winter quarter of the second year or in their junior year if they aretransfer students. By this time, students have taken a Python course and therefore haveprogramming experience. The Programmable Devices course meets once a week for a 50-minutelecture followed by a three-hour lab. There are normally eight labs and one final project.Digital Operations Take-Home LabsThe purpose of the take-home labs is a) to help students view digital components as real and tohave them see that they work as presented in class, b) to have students learn about

Thisway they will come to the class more prepared and better understand why the instructor chooses acertain approach in solving the problems. The review questions are also included to help studentsassess their previous learning in a timely manner. In addition, the instructor is able to review thequestion statistics before the lecture, hence to understand the common mistakes andmisunderstandings, and adjust the lecture coverage and deliverance accordingly.

A NAND gate behaves as follows: it onlyproduces a 0 (LOW) output when both of its inputs are 1 (HIGH). Because the output of a NANDgate is only 0 when both inputs are 1, “A” is correct.3 ManufacturingTwo questions on the survey, as seen in Figure 3, focus on the

couple of common misconceptions. The twocircuits are asking for the same impedance; however, many students will struggle with circuit (a)while accurately solving circuit (b). Circuit (b) is drawn to emphasize the resistors are in seriesand the capacitor is in parallel with the combined resistors. Many students would incorrectly saythe total impedance of circuit (a) is the sum of the three impedances with reasoning that they areall in series. Developing this problem specifically to hit that common misconception, whenpresenting the correct strategy to obtain the total impedance, those misconceptions are discussed.Another circuit is quickly drawn to show what it would look like if the total impedance from thespecified terminals was a series

frequency, and the bits that enable theoutput. The Output Compare Registers, OCR1A and OCR1B for Timer 1, hold the bits that set the levels when the countertoggles its output and thus the duty cycle. OCR1A/B registers have 16 bits and OCR2A/B for Timer 2 have 8 bits. To have theArduino Uno produce PWM frequencies much greater than the default value of 980Hz and dynamically adjust the duty cycleat a reasonable update rate, these internal registers must be configured. This requires consultation with Arduino data sheetsand knowledge of making bit-level changes. This paper will document how that needs to be done and what are the limitations.The goal would be that students would have this part of the code provided to them, so they can instead focus on

Specifically, approximately 62% ofstudents experienced a decrease in their grades, with an average decline of 2.34 points out of 100.Conversely, the remaining 38% of students saw an improvement in their grades, with an averageincrease of 0.91 points out of 100.Figure
