Moreover, the greater number ofengineering students going into industry can also benefit from this kind of learning experiencebecause real-world problems and work contexts are not constrained like textbook assignments orlecture halls. Real world problems are messy, require collaboration and often involve moderatefailure from which rebound is necessary, much like a research lab.

After learning the digital filterimplementation, students enhanced their skills in the embedded system design significantly sothat they could apply their gained knowledge and proficiency into their senior capstone projects.Our future improvement could include developing more practical projects with applications ofprocessing low frequency signals like instrumentation, vibration, and biomedical signals.IV. ConclusionIn this paper, we have demonstrated the feasibility and our pedagogy for teaching a real-timeDSP course using the 68HC12 microcontroller. We have validated that using the 68HC12microcontroller as a platform in our DSP course is not only cost-effective but also learningeffective. The developed method could be an alternative when

At the program level, the curriculum will truly become integrated as a result offocusing on student learning outcomes. For example, at the New Jersey Institute of Technology,the departmental faculty were asked to review ABET-related learning outcomes and prioritizethem across the curriculum [21]. The result clearly demonstrated that the conceptualization ofspecific learning outcomes changed over the course of the curriculum.The focus on learning outcomes reinforces the need for cross-discipline and cross-institutionalcollaboration.

Thesurvey questions focused on the students’ perceptions of their learning experiences, classroomand project engagement, confidence in applying theoretical concepts, and the perceivedrelevance of lab activities to practical applications. Findings revealed that 50% of the reportingstudents felt "very satisfied" or "satisfied" with the open-ended lab experience, while 83% foundthe experiences "extremely effective" or "effective" in enhancing their understanding of corefluid mechanics concepts. These results suggest that while satisfaction levels vary, students feltthe labs were highly effective and thus achieved their primary educational objectives.

As a result, learning by doing,especially in a group, is broadly recommended by the literature [e.g., 6, 26, 79]. Some note itsvalue to developing interest, some to demonstrating expertise, and some to enjoying meaningfulwork. Moreover, providing a safe environment for trialing various leadership behaviors alsoprovides a learning opportunity for all [11, 26, 27, 66].

PBL is pedagogically based on constructivist learning in a setting represented by Kolb’s learning cycle.

Conversely, the respondentsrated study abroad experiences highly (3.5 to 4.5) even if they did not have one, and most didnot. So those surveyed have very positive attitudes towards engagement with the rest of theworld, but they are not yet rating its significance to their work very highly.
