Matched Assessment Data Set for Experiment-Centric Pedagogy Implementation in 13 HBCU ECE Programs

Abstract

is a professor in the Department of Electrical, Computer, and Systems Engineering (ECSE) where he teaches courses on electromagnetics, electronics and instrumentation, plasma physics, electric power, and general engineering. His research involves plasma physics, electromagnetics, photonics, biomedical sensors, engineering education, diversity in the engineering workforce, and technology enhanced learning. He learned problem solving from his father (ran a gray iron foundry), his mother (a nurse) and grandparents (dairy farmers). He has had the great good fortune to always work with amazing people, most recently professors teaching circuits and electronics from 13 HBCU ECE programs and the faculty, staff and students of the SMART LIGHTING ERC, where he is Education Director. He was ECSE

Requirements for the Effective Application of Personal Instrumentation in ECE Undergraduate Courses

“…They played critical roles in the design, implementation and verification of both the Mobile Studio and Analog Discovery by providing a variety of engineering design support, component selection, prototype verification, manufacturing and test assistance. This paper addresses whether the M1K can be utilized in undergraduate courses based on evaluation by instructors participating in the HBCU Experiment Centric Pedagogy (ECP) project [1,2]. In this project, faculty from the 13 HBCUs with ECE programs have been implementing ECP in their first year, circuits, electronics and design courses for the last three years using Analog Discovery.…”

“…Essentially all of these papers report learning gains through the use of these powerful and generally inexpensive platforms. A sampling of the best of these papers is found in the references [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]21]. One of the most elegant studies has been reported in a series of papers by Ferri et al [7] from Georgia Tech where they added hands-on modules using myDAQs in a variety of courses that previously had no experimental component.…”

Can ABET Assessment Really Be This Simple?

“…Assessment Under Special Circumstances is a smaller category, but addresses the particular problems encountered, and lessons learned, by special types of universities such as HBCUs [12] and liberal arts universities [11], and in programs doing assessment in multiple locations [13] or across multiple programs [10]. Also in this category are programs involving cooperative education [14] and industrial internships [15] in their assessment processes.…”
