Turpen’s work involves designing and researching contexts for learn- ing within higher education (for both students and faculty). Her research draws from perspectives in an- thropology, cultural psychology, and the learning sciences. Through in-situ studies of classroom practice and institutional practice, she focuses on the role of culture in science learning and educational change. She pursues projects that have high potential for leveraging equitable change in undergraduate STEM pro- grams and she makes these struggles for change a direct focus of her research efforts. She also serves on several national leadership bodies

The term “design” is used because problem solutions typically require thecreation or modification of artifacts or procedures used by humans in dealing with the physicalenvironment.One common method in engineering design courses is Problem Based Learning (PBL) approach.PBL is a teaching method in which complex real-world problems can promote student learningof concepts and principles as opposed to direct presentation of facts and concepts. In addition tocourse content, PBL can promote the development of critical thinking skills, problem-solvingabilities, and communication skills.

Academic advising would follow this structure foralmost one-hundred years until the 1960’s. Around this time, academic advising began toincorporate developmental and learning theories within its practice [22], [23]. Additionally, thenation would see an increasing number of population pursuing a higher education and by the1970’s, the country documented a record number of college students. Many of these students camefrom diverse and underserved backgrounds, thus needing more attention and assistance in theircollege experience [24].

the process of designing application programs startsfrom the individual module development through extensive testing, verification, andmodification. Applying these developed modules in a useful manner requires the links andintegrations that lead to the practical project implementation. Frequently, in students’ seniorproject designs and faculty’s research plans, the microprocessor/microcontroller resourcesbecome scarce or cause conflicts during the modules’ integration stage. To accommodate the shortfall of the resources and resolve any conflict state, severalchoices must be considered, such as the need to revise or totally rework the module, or apply themodule with additional circuit design.
