Therefore APE aims to improve competitiveness ofgraduating students of institutions of higher technological education at the regional andinternational labor market. Graduating from the FAE students get additional career opportunities. Implementation of the APE model presupposes the following didactic basis:• system principle,• principle of continuity,• principle of individualization and differentiation of education,• principle of succession and interconnection with the major.

In order tosatisfy these conditions, engineering schools have established curricula that include sets ofcourses in each of the four categories illustrated in Figure 2. Page 15.883.3 Figure 2.

to ensure that, if assessment is to take place, the most appropriate methods ofassessment are employed.Student’s education will have been driven by assessment and the outcomes of that assessmentprocess will have determined that student’s university career. The expectation of studentsembarking on a higher education course is that the process of assessment-led education willcontinue. This mindset ultimately affects teaching and learning methods in higher education and,perhaps obviously, the assessment of student learning in higher education.Higher education is about letting students take responsibility for their own learning byencouraging student-centred learning.

This goal is aimed at retaining studentswithin the engineering field by exposing them to some of the more enjoyable aspects of theprofession. In order to foster this environment, the course was focused on hands-on creativedesign projects culminating in competitions between teams, with final grades depending uponteam performance.

Many of those topics, however,may not often, or ever, be used for the post-academic engineering career. To leverage classroompractices, rapid design approaches using FPGA-based synthesizable register-transfer level (RTL)implementations must be added to the current curricula.Since classroom projects are generally of smaller scale and lower quality than industrial projects,functional simulation followed by FPGA-based verification may be enough. However, industrialprojects usually require accurate functionality and timing as well. Because of that requirement,both functional and timing simulations with logic synthesis and optimization are

Thus, the transfer of course work is dependent on the agreementsin place between the 2-year and the 4-year institutions. In many cases, the course equivalentsaccepted in transfer vary by school. Thus, it is becoming more important for the transfer studentsto know where they would be transferring to at the start of their community college career.
