Research and development of microcontroller experiment instructional units and their effectiveness with industrial technology, electronic technology, and electrical engineering technology majors

The Motorola MC68HC11 microcontroller is one of the semiconductor achievements that offers various facilities in microprocessor control applications with no need for excessive external support in hardwares. This new product provides the flexibility, efficiency, economy, and simplicity for the designing job of the microprocessor control applications. This study was conducted to improve the current microprocessor teaching materials which are mostly out-of-date and expensive in conducting lab experiments, and to determine the relative effectiveness of the new microprocessor teaching materials. A set of seven explanatory lab experiments were designed and developed on the Motorola MC68HC11 microcontroller EVB (Evaluation Board), and students\u27 learning achievement tests on implementing these set of experiments have been used to determine the effectiveness of the design as well as applications of the microcontroller;Seven explanatory lab experiments were developed and designed according to the current literature reviews of microcontroller and several Industrial Technology microprocessor courses guidelines. The first four of these seven experiments were chosen as samples of students\u27 design projects;A pretest and posttest with matching statistical model was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the explanatory experiments in students learning achievements. The pretest and posttest scores were used in several statistical analyses to compute the significant difference between the two groups. The average days in completing a project were used to compute the differences between the two groups;Results from analyses of the data did not reject the first hypothesis H[subscript]01: There is no significant learning achievement difference between the experimental group students who used the Motorola 68HC11 microcontroller EVB and the control group students who used the traditional microprocessor as their project design tool, and rejected the second hypothesis H[subscript]02: There is no significant difference in time required to complete the assigned projects between the two groups. ;Recommendations for further studies are investigating larger samples from different colleges and universities, designing microcontroller applications at different course levels, applying the microcontroller features to robotics controls, pneumatic or hydraulic servo control, and investigating other higher level microcontrollers applications

Bush Project Anthology Volume 1

Well over a decade ago, the late Ernest Boyer authored his much heralded work titled Scholarship Reconsidered, and academia quickly began to recognize a variety of meaningful scholarship activities including the scholarship of discovery, integration, application and teaching. Boyer insisted that the scholarship of teaching is a serious and very meaningful form of scholarship associated with what faculty members do to achieve success in the profession of teaching. He also insisted that the scholarship of teaching needs to be transformed from a very private form of scholarship to a much more public form of scholarship. The scholarship of teaching that Boyer sought to promote includes observations that we make as classroom professors regarding challenges to our effectiveness as teachers, our ideas for overcoming those challenges, steps we take to introduce changes in our teaching strategies, how we ultimately assess the results of those changes, what additional ideas for improved teaching effectiveness emerge and finally the sharing of this scholarship with our colleagues in a manner similar to how we ultimately assess the results of those changes, what additional idea for improved teaching effectiveness emerge and finally the sharing of this scholarship with our colleagues in a manner similar to how we share the scholarship of discovery. This publication is an initial effort of South Dakota State University to provide teaching faculty members a scholarship of teaching medium that will allow them to make public or to share their scholarship of teaching with colleagues on campus and beyond the walls of SDSU
