Fortunately,however, the collection of input/output devices in the AVR microcontrollers mimics closelywhat is found in the S12, so that many of the existing lab exercises will be used again with onlyminor tweaking.This paper will discuss what has been done and what is planned for the updated microcontrollercourse.

Therefore, it is planned to expand its use throughout the term using a form ofshort-form journaling with regular documentation of how the students are finding the coursematerial relevant to their surroundings and the events in their lives. Additionally, it is planned toassess the effectiveness of these methods on enhancing student learning. This will be done 323 through the use of control and treatment groups as well as pre- and post-deployment of a concept inventory to allow for comparison of student concept retention between the groups.

SRA is comprised of iterative and recursive cycles of interpretingrequirements, planning (e.g., resources, time, strategies), implementing cognitive processes,monitoring progress, evaluating progress against internal and external standards, and continuallyrefining approaches so as to better achieve goals (see Figure 1) [26], [27]. Numerous studieshave found that enhancement of SR abilities strengthens learning skills [28]-[36] and improvesacademic success [37]-[41].From a metacognitive perspective, research describes SR as relying on both students’ knowledgeand beliefs about themselves and tasks (i.e., metacognitive

Because engineering education provides graduates with complex problem solvingskills and reasoning ability in addition to their discipline-specific knowledge, these individualshave a wide range of possible careers. Many engineering students do not limit their post-graduation plans to an engineering job, and a quarter of them never planned to enter anengineering career [3]. For example, some graduates feel that a non-STEM occupation fits betterwith their professional and personal values, goals, and interests and willingly choose a non-STEM career [4].
