“…Fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering are defined as knowledge of "how to interface with the physical world, how to transmit energy and information and how to extract and interpret and analyze information" in [3]. Correspondingly, the authors have designed and taught a freshman course entitled Fundamentals of Electrical and Computer Engineering that covers the above mentioned fundamentals.…”

A required sophomore course on microcontrollers and computer architecture was designed and offered for the first time in 2009 to expose our electrical engineering (EE) sophomore students to microcontroller-based applications so that they could appreciate and be exposed to fundamentals of electrical and computer engineering (ECE) through hardware and software design and interfacing. The course also helps students to obtain a broad view of various subjects of ECE from circuits, signals, digital logic, microcontrollers, C and assembly language programming to system design, implementation and measurement so that they can make a well informed decision on whether to continue to major in EE. The course builds a foundation for future classes that may require instrumentation or microcontroller-based applications such as those on communications, control, power electronics as well as junior and senior design courses. In addition, the students are required to purchase most of the hardware components for the course so that they can use the components for future projects.

“…SCORM-compatible objects in highly modular education software can be combined easily with other compatible objects that were designed in other software tools. Developing pedagogic techniques and combination of significant experiences in the curriculum needs rule groups such as SCORM [14][15][16]. SCORM standards are not interested in teachable features of the content.…”

In recent years, number of web-based distance education systems has rapidly increased as a result of improvements in the Internet. Universities have an important role in this situation. Having substantial infrastructures in point of accessing the Internet, permanent education staff and system design team has made distance education more attractive for universities. Distance education systems have begun to make their education activities by using tools and services such as electronic books, electronic mails and conference calls. With the increasing number of these methods and by developing them consistently, the structure that covers the whole system was named the web-based distance education system (WBDES). Although there are many data and information about these systems, there is no detailed information about the softwarepreparing process and obtained experiences. In this study, a universal WBDES that can be used by all distance education entities has been designed. This WBDES is compatible with any institution or organisation and suitable for universal SCORM standards. It includes many features and functions such as student account creation, user roles, lessons, examinations, security applications, student affairs, counselling services, internal communication, executive functions and assessment, etc. With designed systems, a software infrastructure that is necessary for a virtual academic institution is provided. The system is currently used in Afyon Kocatepe University. While designing the system, MS SQL Server 2005, ASP.NET and C#.NET programming languages were used for the database, web interfaces and programming, respectively. Studies and experiments in designing the system were explained in detail.

“…A classical example of this approach is a two-course sequence that was offered to mechanical engineering students to design a Rube Goldberg machine (DeBartolo and Robinson 2007). Programme-specific courses are sometimes theme based and use engineering design as a device to emphasise the relationship between the various components of a field like electrical and computer engineering (Huettel et al 2007). Student experiences in such courses have also been enhanced using online learning (McKechnie and Kalavally 2009).…”

Introductory engineering courses are either programme specific or expose students to engineering as a broad discipline by including materials from various engineering programmes. A common introductory engineering course that spans different engineering programmes raises challenges, including the high cost of resources as well as the lack of background courses of first-year students. This paper presents the design, implementation and evaluation of a first-year common engineering course that uses low-cost materials to expose students to a structured engineering design process. The course is explicitly designed to satisfy the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology criteria for engineering programmes. Our experience with the course shows that not only students are able to follow a structured design process successfully but we also believe that most of the ABET criteria are being delivered through the course.
