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

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. Note that although this survey question is directly taken from the ABET SO #5 language, we have

For simplicity, we will refer to Instructor A’s class as section A, andsection B for Instructor B. 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. Students worked in small groups to review course contentand develop questions
. Survey Results on two 60-min recitations per week.e) Students’ performanceIn this section, we present the effectiveness of peer-led recitation on the students’ pass rate forthree semesters, fall 2022, spring 2023 and fall 2023. In this hardware course, students needgrade A or B to pass the course. We use the same teaching materials and course syllabus in thesethree semesters. 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

The right response is “C” whichemphasizes how a transistor’s threshold voltage is affected by several variables, includingtemperature, manufacturing process, and the transistor’s physical dimensions (length and width). Figure 1: Three items related to semiconductor materialsOne kind of digital logic gate, the NAND gate, is the subject of Question 10. There are two inputs(A and B) and one output (Q) on a NAND gate. 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
