Computer Engineering (CprE 310).” CprE 310 had Page 4.57.1always been extremely unpopular because it was perceived by students to be a mathematicsclass. The real goal of the course was to introduce discrete mathematics within the context ofcomputer engineering problems such as VLSI partitioning, information security, and jobscheduling. Its unpopularity made it a difficult course to teach. Students attended lecture twiceper week for 75 minutes. There was no laboratory component. This course also averaged nearly100 students.Thus, during academic year 1997-1998, I faced two large lectures each semester that had mostlyhomogenous populations of nearly

The C-Rboxes were built for a nominal cost of $60 per box, using a 20” box fan, four 20”x20”x2”MERV-13 filters, the box from the fan, and duct tape. The project was carried out by smallgroups (3-4 students) working in the First-Year Design Laboratory over four weeks. At the endof the project, the C-R boxes were distributed to the local elementary schools.
