Given these constraints, how can we aseducators hope to provide a meaningful SoC design experience in a 10-week quarter?This paper attempts to answer that question by detailing a 1-quarter SoC design course I pilotedin Spring quarter 2015, CPE 439 Real Time Embedded Systems. As discussed in EnablingTechnology, I based the course around a new type of technology called a Programmable SoC(PSoC). PSoCs abstract away many of the low-level design decisions and development work thatgoes into a traditional SoC bring-up, allowing students to focus on developing custom IP,connecting it to the processor through an industry standard interconnect bus, and writing driversoftware to control

In general, the top three reasonsstudents leave an engineering-based discipline are: (1) a perceived lack of belonging in theprogram, (2) issues related to difficulty of curriculum and (3) poor teaching or advising.1 Theseissues are often exacerbated in the transfer process as transfer students adjust to their newacademic environment and begin taking advanced engineering courses.2Engineering transfer students typically transfer from a community college or state college to theuniversity level in the third year of the program. Nationally, and among all disciplines, only 42%of transfer students go on to complete a bachelor’s degree. For STEM transfer students with anassociate’s degree, only 32% go

However, it is still not wellunderstood exactly what factors affect persistence in undergraduate STEM majors andwhere the focus should be placed in order to improve persistence.

Traditionalassessment methods, however, remain a major source of stress and anxiety for students,negatively impacting both their academic performance and overall mental health [4]. Theseconventional evaluation practices often involve tests, quizzes, and assignments that areannounced in advance, giving students time to prepare.

This genderdisparity begins early in the educational pipeline, where women account for just 18% of first-year engineering students in the United States, despite demonstrating comparable orsuperior performance in mathematics and science compared to their male peers [2].Two primary factors influence female participation in engineering: recruitment andretention.
