qualitative strand was executed first, through content analysis of all coursedescriptions in the undergraduate catalogs of the institution under study. This process followed acoding framework based on two elements: a) the different data analysis skills described byABET’s Criterion 3.b, and b) the cognitive levels articulated by each description.Coding Scheme. In order to limit the space of exploration in the varied engineering curricula,the data analysis skills described by Criterion 3.b were tied to either 1) Laboratory courses or 2)Statistics courses. The first were expected to cover the design and execution of experiments,while the latter were expected to cover skills to analyze and interpret data. While it isacknowledged that these abilities are

twosubstitute projects needed to be added to cover both cryptographic algorithms [2] and messageauthentication [3]. After taking this course, students should be able to: (a) Describe the operation of an encryption algorithm, (b) explain the design principles of message authentication mechanisms, (c) implement and test encryption algorithms on a FPGA, and (d) debate, criticize, and assess the operation of different implementations of the same encryption algorithm.Students taking this course are assumed to only have background knowledge in digital systemdesign, without any prior exposure to the mathematical background of encryption andauthentication algorithms. The challenge for this course then becomes the development ofimpactful projects to
: ConclusionThe preliminary results of this study provide evidence that large-scale changes in the scope of adesign project may affect student motivation, enthusiasm, group dynamics, and the perception ofvalue. The first two parameters can have a great impact in a student’s persistence in their major.A longitudinal study will be continued to obtain data to support this hypothesis. Additionally, thegoal would be to identify ways to mitigate these effects to ensure a better student experience.References[1] National Science Foundation https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=5257[2] Vernaza, K.M., Vitolo, T., Steinbrink, S. and Brinkman, B.

I also feel as though I could have spent more time trying to relate my problem solution to Thermodynamics and use more equations and formulas to backup my knowledge.

This spectrophotometer was used to make the firstnational-scale map of arsenic-affected drinking water in Bangladesh [8, 9]. This map suggestedthat 45 percent of Bangladesh’s area has drinking well water with total arsenic concentrationsgreater than the 0.050-mg/L national standard; affecting over 50 million people [11, 8-9]. At thistime, the nearby Dhaka Community Hospital did not even have a laboratory.In response to this need for affordable spectrophotometers in the developing world and as ameaningful challenge to our students

, basically the difference between Pre- scoreand Post- score for each student is used. However, there were three different ways of identifyingsuch difference as: a) raw score increase (decrease) b) percentage improvement c) tier indicator of becoming top-scorer.Each one of these measurements have value per se, and can be used in different situations tomeasure the improvement shown by the students. The more direct measurement is the firstoption, raw score, which is basically the Post-score minus the Pre-score; this is a valid indicatorhowever it might misrepresent the actual improvement since a student with low score in the Pre-test has more room to get a high increase, which does not imply automatically that it is at thelevel of
