Designing sufficient coding structure and guidelines. Computer science students tend to have personal preferences in their setups; some might prefer coding on sublime and running their code via the command line, while others might prefer coding in what’s known as an integrated

Engineering curriculum at our university.1 SignificanceNeed for this course was felt in the department because several research faculty memberswanted to integrate VLSI chips using MCU-based systems. To integrate custom VLSIchips into a system using MCU based control, one method is to build custom printedcircuit board (PCB) to integrate components like opamp and buffers to read outputs from achip. To send inputs to the chip, different pulse generator chips and voltage regulatorscould be integrated on the same PCB. To build a system out of several chips, MCU can beused to calculate inputs to the next chip based on outputs from the previous chip andalgorithm designed in C on the MCU. Therefore, to achieve the requirements of ourdepartment, the course

Using the framework of the eleven learning objectivesarticulated by ABET, the effectiveness, or otherwise, of the learning process in undergraduateengineering has been evaluated in our program using a variety of assessment tools, essentially allof which are numerical in format and relatively simple to administer. A key feature of anyassessment process should be an evaluation of self-consistency. That is also discussed here.Lastly, high rates of student attrition in any engineering program are

Ø Some faculty members tend to overstate the number of program objectives addressed in their courses. An honest appraisal of the contribution of each course to program goals and objectives must be conducted.

Such situations are generally referred to as “bending of beams withunsymmetric sections” and these configurations are avoided whenever possible. However, theyare difficult to avoid when designing thin-wall section

The teams choose the characters, settings, and scenarios and have creative control overhow the story is shared with the class.
