hardware. For the Fall 2015semester, the class was transformed to utilize microprocessors and focus on hardware limitations.The transformation was done for primarily two reasons. 1) To advance the course’s curriculum.2) Improve student retention.Every day we interact with and are surrounded by embedded systems. From cars to microwaves,they have become an integral part of everyday life. It’s no surprise then that the area ofembedded system design has grown tremendously in the past few years [1]. More graduates areworking with microprocessors as a result of the growing embedded systems field and wouldbenefit from working with them and coding during their undergraduate coursework. Therefore, itwas decided that the courses’ new focus would be centered

This need is clearly recognized by our accreditation agency, ABET, which requiresa portion of the curriculum to be set aside for such exposure.

Third, Android phones provide all the hardwareand connection features needed for the project. Specifically, GPS positioning will be used fordetermining the bus location and for trip planning. Android phones have built-in GPS receiverthus reducing the need for relying on cellular networks for location information, which is muchless accurate than GPS.

The authors therefore plan to introduce the concepts of BIM and associated softwaretools at earlier stages of the curriculum.Another hurdle to be overcome, in terms of introducing any new technology at University level,is that faculty members do not always remain up-to-date with technical software applicationsused in industry. This may be alleviated with closer integration between industry and academia.Many of the institutions surveyed by the authors are keen to develop strong industry links andalready have visiting tutors and lecturers from industry, and this could extend to the teaching ofBIM processes and technologies.The authors aim to determine the most effective curriculum strategies that should be adopted

Increasedknowledge of programming and computation in early childhood is also associated with betterproblem solving, decision-making, basic number sense, language skills, and visual memory [2].As a digital competence, coding is explicitly regarded as a key 21st Century Skill, as the“literacy of today,” such that its acquisition is regarded as essential to sustain economicdevelopment and competitiveness [3].

Itincludes: ME3701 Experimental Orientation (EO), ME4721 Experimental Technique I (ET1),and ME4731 Experimental Technique II (ET2).

If you got your engineering degree before 1965, you probably took a Fortranprogramming class using something like an IBM 1620. You prepared your program on punchedcards and “loaded” the cards along with the operating system components onto the machine.Computing technology dramatically changed over time - from cards to terminals and magnetictapes and from 16 bit machines to 64 bit machines (mainframes).
