Engineering Education, 2023Integration of VHDL Simulations and Written Reflections to Improve StudentUnderstanding of Sequential Logic Circuits1. IntroductionReflection is known to be a valuable tool that can enhance student learning. Although thebenefits of self-reflection are well-known, it is under-utilized in engineering education. Thus,there is a growing body of research on how to promote and deploy reflective activities in theengineering classroom (Benson).One recent development is the integration of computer-aided simulation tools and writtenreflections (Dickerson). Computer-aided simulation tools provide students with the ability topredict the behaviors of complex systems without having to concern themselves with everysingle detail of the

This paper is a summary of the 2012 – 2016 site.The main objective of this RET site was to bring ten high school science teachers to TheUniversity of Akron (UA) campus for eight weeks each summer to increase their knowledge ofengineering research and enable them to effectively disseminate this knowledge in their highschool classrooms. This was accomplished through a combination of (1) an independent researchproject for each teacher in the laboratory of a UA faculty member and (2) hands-on professionaldevelopment activities to reinforce the fundamentals of engineering

This rigid approach is nowbeing challenged as the undergraduate curricula go through restructuring to accommodate open-endedproblems for students to solve using flexibility and creativity. ABET also has adopted an integrated approachtoward design with more flexible definitions. The author examines the subject matters relating to mechanics inthe context of recent developments in the field of design teaching. Professional design practice has becomeinterdisciplinary with an emphasis on a team approach leading to Integrated Product Development (IPD).
