setting of this study was the redesign of a second-year embedded systems course that wasrequired for electrical, computer, and software engineering students. The redesign effort was partof a federally-funded initiative to facilitate change in the Electrical and Computer EngineeringDepartment at a large university in the Midwest United States8. The course redesign effort wasone several such efforts in the initiative tasked with helping to shift the departmental paradigmtoward student-centered teaching and learning practices and greater integration of professionalformation throughout the curriculum, in a bottom-up fashion9.

Typically, each week of an engineering courseintroduces at least one new concept with its accompanying vocabulary, constants, symbols,model, and resulting equations. As an engineering instructor, it is easy to begin believing thatthere just isn’t enough time to cover all the required material. It is tempting to cut corners.Technology is bounding ahead and there is important ‘new stuff’ that engineers need to know.By racing through the traditional fundamental topics (the modeling and the math

The laboratory sections met approximately onceevery two weeks for 110 minutes.When the course was next offered in 2019, due to a program curriculum change, the coursebecame a 3-credit lecture, and the laboratory portion was moved to a separate course.

Also,dividing the panel will give easy access to the speaker in the door. The bottleneck of the door panel forrepair of the speaker is thus eliminated. An additional improvement could be easy access to the lowerpart of the door frame. Easy tool access from the lower end could help in some other service areas.Another design suggestion presented in class aimed at reducing the number of plastic clips on the doorpanel to reduce assembly time and service time.
