Students are split between ‘Aand ‘B’ groups so that in any quarter about 50% are working and 50% are in classes.To prepare students for their first work block after only two years the students must havesufficient training to be useful. This requires an intense course schedule and significantdesign content. It also means the customers, the student and the employer, get to measurethe quality of the education not at the end, but at the midpoint.Project based design education starts at the freshman year and ends with a two-quarter,team based, capstone Senior Design Project Students can learn either from bottom up ortop down study of design.

Our kit included a USB cable for connection to a PC.We also used Raspberry Pi 4 Model B in this study. Raspberry Pi is a single board computer thathas a 1.5 GHz processing speed, WiFi and Bluetooth connections, a Linux operating system(Raspbian), and 40 general purpose input-output connector pins. The kit included a 5.1V powersupply for the Pi, an HDMI cable, an 8 channel 10 bit Analog to Digital Converter (to match theArduino accuracy), and a 32 GB microSD card preloaded

They also may have considerable familiarity with the technical content beingtaught. However their evaluations could be biased due to personal relationships or pressure fromthe person being reviewed. There also may be biases due to a preference for one's own teachingmethods. These can be ameliorated by using several people and providing them training in whatto look for and how to develop the appropriate information.

However, the main focusof this paper is with those who use the electronic products (category B in figure 1).It is easy to lose sight of the needs of the much larger workforce that designs, builds andsustains the electronic systems. One of the reasons is that the work is no longer limitedto one industry segment. Positions that use electronics skills are now to be found in awide range of industries including biotechnology, health-care, manufacturing,entertainment, automotive and consumer products. Electronics technology is a keyenabler of all of these contemporary industries and is their critical path to meet the

The first course is one hour and thesecond is three hours. The proposed course would replace the second course in the sequence.The first course would remain to cover the necessary topics unique to engineering design.The objectives of the proposed course called UI4xx Capstone Experience are to: A. Simulate the environment of professionals in the student’s major discipline. B. Provide opportunity for open-ended and creative effort to solve

various student comments as reported on SPIE. The main point of writing this paper is to express that the ETW has a very significant and positive impact on this individual attendee. This sentiment is shared and documented by other ExCEEd graduates6 although not in a quantifiable manner directly to classes that are taught. The author teaches classes in a more confident and active manner and believes that students are learning more in class. Students provided comments to aspects of class that are directly attributed to ETW. Responses to specific questions on the SPIE to assess the impact of class components done as a result of ETW are presented in Appendix B. The results in Appendix B are from only one class in the Fall 2004 semester
