Experiential Learning: A Handbook of Best Practice for Educators andTrainers: This type of learning occurs when students participate in some activity, reflect upon the activity, use their analytical skills to derive some useful insight from the experience, and then incorporate their new understanding(s) into their daily lives. What experiential learning does best is capture the interest and involvement of the participants, but most importantly it contributes significantly to the transfer of learning.Instructional InterventionTo implement EL learning in a degree program, faculty need to be made aware of theexperiential criteria so they can design an appropriate and effective EL course.

So, a student’s internal drive for learning can be strengthened byenhancing any one of the three internal constructs. As an example, if a student is moreinterested in a topic, they have a greater motivation to learn which has been shown tolead to a greater exercise of autonomous actions to engage in learning12.

The fact of the technology is emphasizedby the circuit symbol and the requirement of a reasonably high gate field. The figure and thefacts emphasize that this requirement can be accomplished at the low voltage levels ofintegrated circuits only if the gate is separated from the semiconductor substrate by a thininsulation layer, which, for the choice of silicon as substrate, is SiO2, one of the bestelectrical insulators known. Since this oxide layer must be on the order of nanometers (10-9m), the strong link to technology is immediate and recognizable.The transistor action is also relatively simple and reasonably
