In a class focused on practical programming, it is not uncommon to find a large difference in student ability levels. When such a gap in proficiency exists, students with a high level of understanding tend to find the class too simple and as a result their motivation decreases. Up until this point, we have been responding to students who have a lower level of understanding by providing them with supplementary work in order to help them reach a core competency level. On the other hand, there has not been any corresponding action on behalf of students who already have a high level of achievement. We have created a special environment with the aim of enabling students who already have a high level of technical ability to progress with self-directed free study in the areas of programming and networking. This free space is called “the Sandbox”. The results thus far include daily use by a number of students and the voluntary implementation of student-run programming contests. We have observed an increase in the motivation level of the students who are participating in these activities.

The bilingual teaching practice of Mechanical Engineering Measurements course (MEM) for third grade undergraduates of Harbin Institute of Technology (HIT) is introduced in this paper. Three types of bilingual textbook selections are compared, and the self-compiled unified bilingual textbook is the most appropriate choice for both students and teachers. Some important aspects of teaching mode, like arrangements of multimedia courseware, teaching language selection, self-teaching application and bilingual grading method are discussed in this paper. A teaching effects assessment method is presented which provides a testing way of the bilingual reform direction of the course.

The Centre in Computer Engineering Studies at Faculty of Electrical Engineering, Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) has developed and built the Intel 8051 Trainer and Application Board that is used by the students at the faculty as a learning tool. This microcontroller is taught in the Microprocessor System course and is available in the Software Application Laboratory. This paper presents the major components of the laboratory exercises and describes each component used as hands-on experiments for teaching 8051 Intel Microcontroller System. Sample of student's output of hands-on experiment is also illustrated.

This paper provides an overview of online student feedback systems in tertiary institutions. It is then introduce a student feedback online system (SuFO) developed and used in a public university in Malaysia. Subsequently, this paper describes how data from SuFO is used to observe the quality of teaching between experience and inexperience lecturer. The evaluation is based on students' response in SUFO that measured the lecturers' ability based on the lecturer's professionalism and teaching methods. The results of this preliminary investigation to compare the quality of teaching between experience and inexperience lecturers are included. The results indicated from the student feedback on teaching quality of experience and inexperience lecturers is inconclusive since both categories of lecturers obtained low and also high rating from students.

Project-based learning (PBL) has been shown to be an effective tool in engineering education. Thus, in this paper a framework for integrating PBL into the curriculum to enable the delivery and the assessment of the necessary knowledge, skills, and attitudes required by three generic program outcomes required for accreditation of engineering programs in countries that signatories to the Washington Accord. The breadth and depth required by these outcomes and how it is implemented in this framework is also highlighted. It is believed that this framework is general enough to be implemented in any engineering program.
