An increasing demand on qualified IC designers requires engineering schools to train more graduates with specialty in IC design. These newly trained graduates should not only have strong fundamentals, but also good analytical and practical skills. They should be able to quickly adapt to the commercial environment and require minimum training when hired by the design firms. A twosemester project...

Competitive learning is attracting ever increasing amounts of attention in the field of digital game-based learning. Different mechanisms for the promotion of competitive learning have been proposed in previous studies, including social-competition and self-competition mechanisms, but few have addressed student preferences as to the choice between social-competition and self-competition, especi...

This handout describes the analysis of a repeated-measures experimental design with two crossed among-subjects factors and repeated-measures on a third (withinsubjects) factor. It presents the analysis described in the text: univariate ANOVA with the conservative F test, along with assessment of the validity of the model and with analysis of the effects. A later handout will present linear mixe...

Mixed Reality Learning Games (MRLG) provide new perspectives in learning. But obviously, MRLG are harder to design than traditional learning games environments. The main complexity is to cope with all the difficulties of learning design, game design and mixed reality design at the same time, and with the integration of all aspects in a coherent way. In this paper, we present existing tools and ...
