A recent model has been implemented in the college ofengineering at Tennessee Tech (TTU) to base the initial programming experience onhardware in the loop approach where the programming target is a micro-controller. Thiscourse has been offered in both C/C++ and Matlab programming language. From multiple previous implementations, we see that the students that engaged in thehands-on, hardware-based programming activities reported a more positive earlyexperience with programming and its relation to the engineering curriculum relative totheir comparison-group peers. The students participating in the project also reportedimproved confidence in their ability to learn and use

takenin the sophomore year. Circuit theory was chosen for this initiative because it is one of theearliest courses taken by our students, so by learning some problem-solving and teamwork skillsin circuit theory, students can be expected to use and develop them (at instructors’ discretion) inall subsequent ECE courses throughout the program. TBL was chosen for this effort overproject-based learning and problem-based learning for several reasons. In project-based learning,heavy emphasis is placed on the application of previously acquired knowledge, rather than itsacquisition [2]. Thus, it is well-matched to upper-level design, i.e., capstone, courses. In bothTBL and problem-based learning, on the other hand, the emphasis is on both the acquisition

IntroductionFor an engineering degree to be generally accepted, it must come from an institution whose degreeprograms have been certified by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET).One of the essential major components to achieve program accreditation by ABET is the approval ofits capstone design activities, which are commonly referred to as its senior design courses. We havefound that a student’s successful completion of his (her) engineering design project is muchdependent of his (her) engineering mathematics background.

In order to reduce the burden for the faculty and yet ensure a representative cross-section of courses and student materials would be analyzed, the assessment committee identifiedtarget courses for each outcome portfolio (Table 3). This format should minimize the effort tocollect and review materials as well as to analyze student performance. In addition, since, foreach semester (fall and spring), sophomore-, junior-, and senior-level courses were selected, theDepartment will be able to analyze performance at each level in the program and
