The specific goals of this project, and their relationshipto the course goals, is given in Table 3. A further characteristic of this project was that, becauseit occurs early in the semester, it should be non-discipline specific and require no more than themath and physics skills the students have developed after 2-3 weeks in those courses.Table 3: Module 1 Project GoalsGoal Teaching Course Goal Assignment medium medium (Table 1)Work on an ill 1 course lecture 4

with new situations in industry.Assessment MethodologyStudent attitudes towards new technology used in a learning environment are an important factorin the assessment of student learning. An extensive survey was developed to assess studentattitudes toward the Tablet and use of the Tablet in the classroom, laboratory, and outside ofclass. Significant research has been conducted to study student attitudes toward the integrationof information technology in the classroom. Many of the survey questions were taken from theseprevious surveys. Doolen, Porter and Hoag used a survey to measure six areas related to PDAusage – anxiety, confidence, liking, usefulness (general), usefulness (course), and enthusiasm3.This PDA study used constructs from a

Web-basedcourses of instruction for graduate, undergraduate, technical programs and continuingeducation are springing up in many institutions of higher learning and in many private andcommercial settings (Vogel, 2001). Comparisons between electronic-delivered andtraditional teaching methods suggest that electronic-based learning and assessment areequal to or better than traditional methods (Bocij and Greasley, 1999).

Little homework was assigned. Evaluation for first and second yearclasses consisted of three tests during the semester and a final exam. For third through fifth yearclasses, evaluation consisted of a final exam, laboratory work, and recitation participation. Sincethere were few homework assignments during the semester, the exam period was intense.

the students in the lab to assist themwith their research projects. As none of the undergraduate students had taken the FPGA Designclass yet, it was necessary first to teach them how to design with FPGAs. The group meetingswere initially dedicated to going over the lecture notes and the laboratory assignments from theFPGA class. The students were required to do some learning independently and then work on theFPGA tutorials in the lab. What was helpful was having the two graduate students working in thelab who were willing to help tutor and assist the students through this learning phase. Theauthor’s observation was that the students were able to grasp the basics of VHDL coding afterthree weeks of training. At this point, they were assigned

After receiving feedback and recommendations from industries that hireEET/TET graduates, more emphasis is being placed on laboratories where teams of students arerequired to design, implement, test, and analyze a project. The experience is concluded with thedocumentation of the results of each project in both written and oral format. This approachbegins in selected sophomore-level courses and continues through the capstone senior designproject with less and less faculty intervention and control as the students progress in theircurriculum.
