Faculty were involvedprimarily as curriculum developers and guides. When considering a transition toPhase 2, emphasis was placed on faculty attitudes, teaching habits and reflectionin an attempt to elicit desired student behaviors.

The transition to remote learning was particularly difficult for many of the hands-on experiential learning and laboratory courses that are integral parts of an engineeringeducation. Very few engineering programs in the United States offer purely remote learningenvironments for engineering students, and so this kind of teaching and learning was new forboth faculty, rapidly adjusting their curriculum in a short amount of time, and for the studentswho had to quickly adapt their learning styles [1]. In addition, most students across the countryleft their campuses and returned home to complete the spring 2020 semester from afar, leading tofewer interactions with their peers, faculty, and staff for

implementseveral lessons that illustrate real-world applications of concepts from middle school curriculum. In the first lesson, the relationship between wheel rotations, wheel circumference, anddistance traveled is derived. The effect of wheel diameter on forward velocity is assessed and theerrors that may accumulate from the use of an incorrect diameter of the wheel are examined. Thestudents use their knowledge of wheel rotations versus displacement to measure the length andwidth of the classroom. Next, the notion of feedback control is introduced through a controllerthat enables the robot to move a commanded linear distance. In the second lesson, the effect ofcommanding one wheel to move slower than the other wheel is observed. This leads to

programming languages like Haskelland Ada. The complexity of hardware descriptions coupled with HDL similarities to sequentialprogramming languages has led the authors to propose the idea of introducing LP into HDLeducation. Using LP to improve HDL education has not been widely investigated. One earlyattempt involved an approach very similar to Knuth’s WEB approach [18][19] using a Prologlogic program to generate a human-readable form and a Verilog HDL file. The main thrust ofthis effort was to capture the formal operational semantics of the description and animate thebehavior of parallelisms. The approach taken in [18] and [19] will clearly suffer from the failingsof Knuth’s efforts with regard to a maintainability, tool-chain integration, and user

Often times, engineering instructors are dealing with overpackedcurriculum, students who lack confidence or ability within their programming, or lack familiaritywith the programming environments available and useful to students today [5]. Furthermore,gaps continue to exist within racial, gender, and socioeconomic differences [6]. However, recentwork has shown that integrating programming into the curriculum through the lens of popularapplications of its use can help broaden participation within computing disciplines [7].Innovations in computing environments have given rise to technology-enhanced learning

The most basic FE theory and applications are offered primarily as a graduate- level course, or in some cases, as an upper-level elective for undergraduate students. Therefore, the majority of engineering programs do not require coverage of FE theory and application as a component of their undergraduate curriculum.
