Microcontroller technology is new enough that recent graduates cansuccessfully compete with more senior engineers who have never learned to design withmicrocontrollers.Microcontrollers are becoming ubiquitous in many modern products and machinery, due to theirability to perform complex electronic functions for low cost, and understanding how to use thesesystems is a valuable skill set for any engineer. While some projects will require an electricalengineer to implement the microcontroller design, having the ability to design simplemicrocontroller systems will give a mechanical engineer the ability to be responsible for theentire design of many mechatronic devices, as

This may be due to the fact that the 4 year students were all second semester freshmen.Students from the 2 year college rated questions 1 and 5 slightly higher. Since these studentswere in technology or engineering science programs, the modules may have increased theirinterest more than the freshmen who had already declared engineering majors. Also, the studentsin the 4 year institution were from a variety of different majors, so some students may have nothave made a direct connection to the relevance to their discipline, yet the modules strengthenedtheir appreciation for other

Queries to industry suggested thatspecialization at the baccalaureate level in environmental engineering could be restrictive for both employersand employees in the long term. Nevertheless, the time seemed appropriate to provide students with a newway to enhance their curricular focus on environmental engineering In 1992 the environmental engineering faculty opted to establish a special concentration comprised ofboth required and elective courses pertinent to environmental engineering that would continue to satisfyABET criteria for the existing baccalaureate program in Civil and Environmental Engineering.

One of these outcomes (b)requires the ability to analyze and interpret data within the design and conduct of experiments,which frequently requires an awareness of and capability in estimation.

own learning are better able to adapt to our increasinglyknowledge-driven economy and stay abreast of change in science and technology and thusremain relevant to the modern workforce.PurposeIn order to address these gaps, we need robust curricula that target information literacy skills andattributes necessary to enable life-long learning. Even more importantly, however, we needuseful assessment tools that will provide a better understanding of engineering students’ self-directed learning skills and a valid measure of how these skills improve. While there areassessment instruments that address these skills, most of them focus on information search skillsand a non-engineering application.In this project, we aim to develop two valid and reliable
