  • a systematic approach to the implementation of final year project in an electrical engineering Undergraduate Course
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 1998
    Co-Authors: Y Teo
    Abstract:

    This paper describes a computerized management system for the processing of a final year project in an electrical engineering Undergraduate Course including a structured project allocation to students, a comprehensive assessment procedure, an automated processing of marks, and a management supporting system. An optical reader is used to scan the project selection made by all the students, and the allocation algorithm allocates as many projects as possible in meeting the students' preferences. A new attempt using a grading category index for each assessment criterion is implemented and the assessment of the student's performance is evaluated through five main components with 31 assessment criteria. The marks for each student are scanned by an optical reader and calculated by a weighted linear conversion of all the grading category indexes. The assessment system is more valid as it has many specific criteria and is more reliable as the process is consistent. The management supporting tools and experiences in handling very large groups of students especially in the maintenance of a uniform marking standard to all the students are highlighted. It is hoped that some of our approaches can be selectively adopted for Undergraduate Course work on continuous assessment even for a smaller student population.

  • reflections on teaching and learning in an advanced Undergraduate Course in embedded systems
    IEEE Transactions on Education, 2008
    Co-Authors: Diane T Rover, Ramon Mercado, Zhao Zhang, Mack C Shelley, D S Helvick
    Abstract:

    An integrated series of Courses on embedded systems has been developed at Iowa State University, Ames, spanning early Undergraduate to graduate levels. The newest Course in the series is CPRE 488: Embedded Systems Design, an advanced Undergraduate Course that fills a gap in the curriculum by providing system-level design experiences and incorporating new technology advancements. CPRE 488 development focused on lecture-lab integration and laboratory learning. Course and lab activities were designed using a learning model that captures lower-order and higher-order cognition levels of Bloom's taxonomy. The learning experience in the laboratory is characterized using a technique to assess cognitive behavior. Results of applying the Florida Taxonomy of Cognitive Behavior are presented to summarize the depth of student learning and the opportunities for students to progress to higher-order thinking in the laboratory. After two years of experience with the new Course, the authors reflect on the Course design and outcomes, from both disciplinary and pedagogical viewpoints.
