The first laboratory setup with the linear stepper motorwas purchased for under $250, while the second laboratory setup with a modern ironless motorand a Gemini GV6 drive was purchased for under $600. Of course, many alternative laboratorysetups are possible. For instance, for the first exercise, students could build their own steppermotor controllers from scratch using a few electronic power components and microcontrollers oftheir own choice. The most difficult part in developing this teaching module was finding thecorrect cable connectors for drives/controllers

This is agreat benefit for setting up each lab session, for assisting members of the class, and fordevelopment. Originally, students worked in groups of two. There are always various sources ofpressure to increase the size of groups in laboratory work in general. However, this is a case inwhich it is feasible for students work alone, and this they now do. Upon hearing that they wereexpected to work alone, two students responded separately with the comment to the effect: “Well…that means I will have to do some thinking to get through this!”. The students’ rate of progress was directly related to their programming skills. Theimportant intellectual discipline

These wind tunnels can either be very basic, like some of theoriginal test cells, or more complicated to isolate and teach different concepts. The design andfunction a particular wind tunnel are not necessarily important if the limitations are understoodand explained to the student. These classes and experiments are typically during the junior yearof an undergraduate engineering curriculum. As engineering students progress into practicing engineers, they must know more than theoryand equations describing physical laws. Engineers are also required to design new

Peer review also resulted in theperceived improvement of students’ ability to critique. Additionally, the use of co-created rubricsis an inclusive teaching practice that can improve confidence and self-efficacy. It speeds up futuredetailed feedback, as the students and instructors have a similar understanding about the elementsof the rubric and may enhance self-regulated learning [2]. Finally, standards-based grading shiftsthe primary objective to individual learning and achievement, removes distraction from low-importance errors and reduces the

Second, the wide availability of high gatecount FPGAs, which enables students to create amazingly complex designs involving datapathcomponents such as adders and counters, requires the teaching of many more complex componentsin a one semester course. This two-fold increase in complexity requires a redesign of the traditionalintroductory digital design laboratory to enable students to create complex designs using a rela-tively simple design methodology.Therefore, this paper proposes the use of a minimal subset of an HDL (Verilog, in this case) com-plemented by judicious use of schematic capture and its
