equipment are relying on computers to control system parameters. Al- though embedded computers are powerful and flexible tools for industry, these very advantages have contributed to a corresponding increase in system complexity. In order to adequately prepare today’s computer science, computer engineering, and electrical engineering students for their future careers, the special problems with embedded sys- tems development must be adequately addressed in their education. In this paper, we report on our multi-pronged approach to curriculum development that specifically incorporates embedded systems into a suite of relevant courses: software engineering, operating systems, digital system design, and computer system

. Judging by the significant success of manyinterventions, we would like to point to some that should be considered as a permanent changefor future Statics courses in general. For example, reflective practices such as the ones seen inGoldberg et al. (2015) and Goldberg et al. (2021) can provide healthy lifestyle changes tostudents that benefit them well in their student careers. The significance of the results mentionedis easy to assume and is only further established within the paper. We believe that implementingthese interventions more regularly can provide easier communication between students andteachers and future testing can better show this in other courses as well.Group work has shown mixed results and even the significant ones are not

The OEMPshapes the student-authors’ experiences by allowing them to develop problem solving skillsnecessary for a career in industry while integrating the knowledge gained from these abstractproblems. The second author goes on to explain a direct relationship between the OEMP and anexperience they had while working an internship at a local engineering firm: Jayden: Further, I had an internship with a local engineering company this past summer and obviously when it comes to industry, there are no textbooks or answers keys, so I had

Moreover, a contextual learning approach assists students in learning how to monitor their own learning so that they can become self-regulated learners.”52 As a point of

Instructor observations of student reaction showed that students were notuniversally inspired by or interested in the technology. This makes sense because the definitionof “cool” is not uniform for engineering students.
