effectiveness of the redesign.2 Pedagogical BackgroundMany faculty members in many different engineering and science disciplines have appliedresearch-based instructional strategies and studied their influences. So, the redesign that isdescribed in the paper has been in the context of many studies that suggest positive influences onstudent learning and attitudes. The purpose of this section is to provide a context for the redesignwithin a spectrum of prior research on teaching engineering and engineering courses, particularlyin the first two years of engineering curricula.2.1 The Impact of Active Learning PedagogiesMany studies have suggested that learning can be enhanced when instructors incorporate student-centered, interactive approaches 11, 13

In addition to the Communication competency, astudent or graduate must also demonstrate General Knowledge, Initiative, Customer Focus, andProfessional Impact to successfully demonstrate this Outcome.A single ISU Competency can contribute to multiple Outcomes. For example, the ISUCommunication Competency is required for the successful development and demonstration offour Outcomes, including the obvious connection to Outcome (g), “an ability to communicateeffectively.” Thus, by providing a multiple opportunities for students and graduates

performance than alternativetechnologies, recent improvements have yielded performance that is acceptable except invery extreme cases. In these cases, the designer has a choice of traditional bipolartransistors, Bi-CMOS (a hybrid of the two technologies), or compound semiconductortechnologies such as gallium arsenide. However, these technologies are more expensiveto manufacture and exhibit much higher power consumption. For these reasons, mostmainstream designs are now done with CMOS.At the same time, changing design practices have revolutionized the way that electronicsystem design is performed. At the board level, small-scale integrated circuits such asoperational amplifiers have replaced discrete components because of their reduced cost.With
