However,the students often struggle with visualization at the beginning of the semester; especially, how tocomplete an incomplete or missing orthographic view and the isometric view of the orthographicprojections. If this lack of understanding continues the students will quickly fall behind and willhave a difficult time transitioning to understanding the 3-D computer aided parametric modelingtool. The relatively short class time means that not all students get the immediate help they need.In addition, many of them do not follow up during office or tutoring hours for additionalassistance.

Onemajor challenge in teaching operating systems is the complex, intangible, and nondeterministicnature of an actual computer system containing many cores operating in parallel.We propose a global approach to address this challenge involving a full-scale open source operatingsystem, a carefully designed set of experiments and novel execution visualization tools. In orderto deconstruct their preconceptions, students are exposed to phenomena that seem contradictoryat first glance, but are the result of the interaction between the microarchitecture, the operatingsystem and the libraries. In the spirit of constructivism, students are invited to observe

Furthermore, exposure to SDRis increasingly important for students wishing to pursue careers in the telecommunication,networking, and radar fields. An undergraduate laboratory can be outfitted with relatively high-performance SDRs at a reasonable cost.It was recently discovered that USB digital television tuners can be used as SDR receivers.Since this discovery, the tuners have been successfully used in a wide variety of applications. Ata cost less than $20 (USD), these so-called “RTL-SDR” devices set a new price point for SDRtechnology that is particularly attractive within an educational context.This paper presents the use of these low-cost SDRs

A survey of the instructors showed a largeinconsistency in coverage, upwards of 20% mismatch in topics between sections. High levels ofinconsistency across multiple sections of a course is not unusual even among experiencedinstructors when the syllabus is considered to be “packed with material.” Blending the coursewith all course lectures online and common homework and exams across all sections removesmost of the inconsistency across
