“Laboratory Preparation” class’s primary purpose is to introduce the materials in the course,such as Arduino and circuitry components. However, this class also allows students to explorethe purpose of these components through circuit construction. In this class, students build fourpushbutton circuits with light-emitting diodes (LEDs) as given in an Arduino Projects book [4].These circuits are shown in Figure 4. Figure 4: Pushbutton/LED circuits for "Laboratory Preparation" class.The “Introduction to Circuitry” class has students constructing two basic circuits: a resistorcircuit and a LED circuit (see Figure 5). Once built, students use a multimeter to discerncommon circuit principles through Ohm’s Law. Figure 5: Basic

switching between tasks(parallel task completion). Although the nature of a faculty position does not always allow one to choosebetween serial or parallel task completion, there is often a great deal of autonomy if one can become moreintentional about how one works. On the timescale of months, the FDC can help plan out the balancebetween intrinsic and extrinsic activities. Spending too much time only completing either intrinsic orextrinsic tasks can be a warning sign. As faculty developers, we can suggest using the canvas withorganizational tools (e.g., Slack, Trello, or other project management software), that can track andsequence actions. On the timescale of years and decades, a faculty member will likely change theirbehavior patterns and even

The AVR family includes a widevariety of processor capabilities, from simple components housed in 8-pin packages to powerfuldevices in 40-pin packages or larger. Because students have used Arduino microcomputers sooften, there was considerable interest and pressure to update the microcontroller course,switching to an AVR processor to provide students with background knowledge for their projectdevelopment.Fortunately, a new development board for AVR processors is available, the EasyAVR version 7from MikroElektronika (Figure 2).

There is ample evidence that engineering courses thatimplement evidence-based methods like active or project-based learning improve studentretention and performance (Bullard et al., 2008; Felder et al., 1998; Knight et al., 2007; Martin etal., 2007).Two beliefs limit education about teaching: First, many current STEM faculty members, at leastat the research institutions that are training all the future STEM faculty, do not view teaching assomething that can be learned. Second, teaching is not something that should be learned. Theyconsider time spent on teaching development to be detrimental to one’s productivity and futureprospects for jobs and funding. Neither of these is a valid argument. With the variety
