The objectives of thisapproach included accommodating diverse learning styles and pacing as students approached thiscourse as a ‘point of entry’ for studying environmental engineering or as a ‘survey’ to supportstudies in civil engineering or architectural engineering. If planned with care, the effectivemapping of the course learning objectives to the content of the Body of Knowledge (BoK),coupled with the modified mastery grading approach developed for this course, allows aninstructor to confirm that all students in the course have demonstrated proficiency at a masterylevel.Comparisons among course offerings.

In summary, the designette continues to be a valuableapproach to supporting the learning styles and cycles most relevant to engineering education atthe capstone level.

DC motor ports. These ports canbe used to operate sensors, servo-controlled robot arms, and drivetrains. The large number ofavailable ports encourages the use of many components and the need to plan how thesecomponents will interact with the robot and the Proteus. Also, the Proteus receives RPS datathrough an XBee wireless module, and it has a 320 by 240 pixel color LCD for text output andprogram debugging. This allows students to fully engage with the test, validate, and redesigncycle. These main features are highlighted in Figure 4 below.In addition, more advanced features have been developed for the Proteus in the last two years.First, an on-board accelerometer has been implemented to allow students to determine theorientation of their

see that some students are not very comfortable with preparinggood cheat sheets. Some may even do not appreciate how useful a cheat sheet is to answer testquestions better and faster, or they may not realize how cheat-sheet preparation by itself providesstudents with a deeper understanding of the concepts. A couple of students may occasionallyforget to prepare and bring one. Writing a good cheat sheet is a skill, and we plan on spendingsome time to help students improve this skill. We believe that cheat sheet preparation is thecounterpart of what we do in professional ASIC design: When we decide to develop a code, wedo not normally do it from scratch; we look at the codes that we have already designed andtested, and then choose the closest
