Course enrollment representsapproximately 80% of all incoming first-year engineering students (total enrollment = 660; 525identified as first-year students). Other students in the course include upper level students thattook the course out of sequence from the traditional plan of study. Due to the volume of students,the course offered two large auditorium style lecture sections and multiple (32) smallerlaboratory sections. Each week students would meet in their smaller laboratory classes,maximum of 32 students. Additionally, students were required to attend one of the two largerlectures (~350 students per lecture), each week.Students

Not only were students eager to learn microcontroller basics, instructors also recognizedthat by introducing students to these skills, the resulting projects may be higher quality and therange of design challenges that can be assigned may be broadened.Use of microcontroller technology in freshman level courses is not new, and these concepts havebeen taught through in-person laboratory instruction with positive results at numerousuniversities [2], [3], [6].

In atypical engineering course, 30−40% of the education is carried out as lectures, 30−40% aslessons and 20−40% as laboratory experiments. In addition, case studies and project works areused in about half of the courses. Some projects are small (down to 15% of the course workload)and some may make up the whole course.In the present study, two courses are of interest. One is a course in Engineering thermodynamicswhich both the ME, DPD and IEM students take; the ME students as the very first course of theprogram, and the PDP and IEM students at the middle of the second year.
