withacademia in an engineering education conference in 2010 [18-20].Students first became involved in this project in the spring 2015 semester during a solarphotovoltaic course (17 students) at Sam Houston State University (SHSU). During the course,students were tasked with building a portable grid-tied solar photovoltaic lab equipment afterextensive lectures to learn the theory. Students worked in teams to prepare an action plan for theproject. Four teams were created for the initial steps of the project. The assignments of the teamsare (a) estimates and quotes for the materials; (b) computer aided design (CAD); (c) productionof the portable stand; (d) purchasing of solar photovoltaic related equipment and supply; and (e)building the unit-system

order to take the laboratory practice beyond simulation to actual hardware implementation,FPGA-based debugging tools are necessary [8]. As illustrated in figure 2, the RTL emulationtool was developed for the new laboratory exercises, so that students can explore contemporarydesign environments including vendors and in-house simulation and emulation tools. Eventually,they will be able to verify their processor systems quickly and precisely. An RTL processorsystem is configured in an FPGA (a). Both instruction/data buses and control signals in FPGAare interfaced to the emulation engine (b) through the noise rejecting, shielded I/O connectionboxes (c). (c) (b

Itseems that the new instructional system help the marginal students more than other students.Since these marginal students are less confident themselves and more reserved in classroomparticipation, the new system provides them a means to participate in the classroom activities.Therefore it
Engineering Technology program must demonstrate that graduates have: (a) an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines, (b) an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering and technology, (c) an ability to conduct, analyze and interpret experiments and apply experimental results to improve processes, (d) an ability to apply creativity in the design of systems, components or processes appropriate to program objectives, (e) an ability to function effectively on teams, (f) an ability to identify, analyze and solve technical problems, (g) an ability to communicate effectively
. However, if you can marry these two concepts together, then you have hit a home run.In our school, the Computer Engineering Technology curriculum is set up so that programming andembedded circuit design is taught via a series of courses: (a) Introduction to ‘C’ programming, (b)Digital Design and Embedded Systems, (c) C++ and object orientated programming and (d) anIntermediate Embedded Systems course. After completing this series, the students can continue onwith an Embedded Linux course, as well as a Software Engineering (process and agiledevelopment) course.

data indicates that 78.2% of students attempted a different major prior to requesting a change of curriculum to engineering technology. Anecdotal information indicates that students made this change for two primary reasons. These include a) realizing their interests were more compatible with the less theoretical, more applications-oriented education afforded by an engineering technology degree; b) being required to change majors by their original department. In both cases, this often resulted in non-transferrable credit hours representing lost time and added financial burden. In the latter case, there was also often negative and long-lasting impacts on grade point as well as the emotional toll associated
