Engineering - Electrical (55)This project is developing an undergraduate laboratory environment that incorporates cooperative learning with structured problem solving. The PI is creating ten laboratory exercises for utilizing RF and microwave equipment to support two existing lecture courses. Cooperative learning is a well-known method for engaging students in an active learning process that can improve a student's problem solving skills, individual accountability, and team work. The changes in these courses should not only enhance student learning but also increase the number of students enrolling in these courses and hence the number of graduates, particularly African-American graduates, with experience in the RF and microwaves area to meet important shortages in industry. The evaluation effort includes the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data using multiple assessment strategies. Dissemination activities are based on publishing the project's methods and data in appropriate engineering education journals and on a focused outreach effort for HBCUs involving a workshop for interested faculty. Broader impacts include the dissemination of the material, particularlyto HBCUs and the increased participation of African-American students in the field.

工程 - 电气（55）该项目正在开发一个本科实验室环境，该环境将合作学习与结构化问题解决。 PI正在创建十个实验室练习，用于利用RF和微波设备来支持两个现有的讲座课程。 合作学习是一种吸引学生参与积极学习过程的著名方法，可以提高学生解决问题的技能，个人问责制和团队合作。 这些课程的变化不仅应增强学生的学习，而且还应增加参加这些课程的学生人数，从而增加毕业生的数量，尤其是非裔美国人毕业生，并在RF和微波炉领域具有经验，以满足行业重要的短缺。 评估工作包括使用多个评估策略收集定量和定性数据。传播活动基于在适当的工程教育期刊上发布项目的方法和数据，以及针对涉及感兴趣的教师研讨会的HBCU的重点外展工作。 更广泛的影响包括材料的传播，尤其是对HBCU的传播以及非裔美国学生在该领域的参与。
