In theEngineering Computing and Professionalism and Ethics courses, students spend one hour perweek in professor-led lectures. In Engineering Graphics, each week the students attend twohours of lectures taught by a professor. In Engineering Computing and Engineering Graphics,students spend five hours per week actively engaged in tutorials (i.e., recitations) andlaboratories. In Engineering Professionalism and Ethics, active learning principles are used inthe two-hour tutorials that the students

Not surprising, students’ motivation increasesin these settings and their confidence in problem definition, option development andsolution grows. As with active learning approaches, the instructor role changes in clinicand project courses from one of talking head to facilitator, guide and resource [2,6]. Thestructure of an engineering clinic based ECE program is one that requires students tooperate at higher orders of abstraction earlier in their education while still requiring aconcrete “hands-on, minds-on” engineering solution to the real world problem at hand.These transformative changes are discussed as desirable in most of
