These types of courses typically utilize a common programminglanguage (MATLAB, C, Java) to teach students about syntax, programming techniques, andintroduce students to applied problem solving1-4. Learning a computer programming languagehas been known to be difficult for high-school and university students because of the lack of timefor practice5, in addition to the conceptual complexity of the topic and logical reasoningprocesses required for understanding.

Undergraduate InstitutionsNonresearch or teaching-oriented institutes have characteristics that can hinder the scope or successof research efforts. This section discusses several of these.Lack of graduate programs and advanced course work, laboratories, and equipment is a majorlimitation in leveraging the expertise and management of the professor. Although undergraduateresearch assistants can be utilized6, their relative lack of knowledge, maturity, and commitmentcan be a hindrance. Also, there are often few, if any, faculty colleagues that share expertise andinterest in one’s particular narrow research field.Personnel such as technicians, technical writers, and even secretaries needed to support researchmay be in short supply.

the analysis of the applicationsusing them. This approach is used in many different areas of electrical engineering and withsuccess in engineering science programs. However, many of the engineering technologyprograms would not be able to implement this approach easily due to the limitations on extracourse credits available, and the time needed to complete prerequisite courses in math andphysics as well as the higher levels of math and physics required compared to engineeringscience programs. Another obstacle to a practical teaching approach is a lack of properlyequipped laboratories because of the prohibitively higher prices of the equipment used in RFengineering compared to other areas in electrical engineering [2].Curriculum Design

This last topic was addressed by a series of elements notdirectly asking about HPL, but framed to reveal this. For example, to understand whether thecourse was assessment-centered we asked their level of agreement with the statements, “Ireceived adequate feedback on my work,” and “I was able to obtain enough practice onimportant topics.”Another part of the quantitative study was gauging to what extent the teaching reflects HPL.
