Copyright © 2004, American Society for Engineering Education"IntroductionThe tenure track period for an assistant professor is both difficult and frustrating. Difficult, in thesense that six and seven-day work weeks are the norm. Frustrating, in the sense that very oftenthe tenure requirements are not listed anywhere but in the minds of other tenured-faculty in theform of a “profile”. At any rate the evaluation process for tenure, in a very broad sense, is basedin two main areas: research and teaching, not necessarily in that order. While one can look atvarious metrics to evaluate progress on research (refereed journal publications, funded proposal,thesis advised, etc.), it is more ambiguous to evaluate teaching. The easiest way (and,unfortunately

CircuitIntroductionThe 555 Timer integrated circuit was created in 1971, as mentioned by IEEE [1], to accomplishthe simple yet surprisingly difficult task of supplying digital oscillation for electrical andcomputer engineers. These oscillations can be provided with a minimal number of externalcomponents applied in specific configurations with the IC. The 8-pin chip was designed withsimplicity and versatility in mind, making it a widely usable IC for electronic applications.Despite its simple purpose, the internal workings of the 555 Timer can be difficult to understandgiven its complexity.In 2023 a device was conceptualized to assist in the education of the 555 Timer’s internalworkings as well as external configurations. By deconstructing the 555 Timer into its

The conceptual design was followed by more sophisticated three-dimensional design tasks using computer-aided techniques. Finally, the students were assessedcontinuously with respect to their technical contribution, working techniques and interactionwith their peer group at national and international level. They were also probed regarding theiropinion on various aspects of the project using interviews and forms. These surveys have beenevaluated together with the opinion of the academic staff in order to form future directions.

In addition, four students transferred toother universities but continued to participate in the interviews. Student pseudonyms are used inthis paper. Students were compensated $100 per interview and $10 for taking the online surveys.There are a variety of limitations to keep in mind when interpreting the results of the study.
