A Practical Application of Thevenin Circuit ModelEric BogatinDr. Eric Bogatin has been a full time professor in the Electrical, Computer, and Energy EngineeringDepartment at the University of Colorado Boulder since January 2021 where he has been teaching thePractical Printed Circuit Board and the Senior Design Capstone courses.Dr. Bogatin received his BS in physics from MIT in 1976 and MS and PhD in physics from theUniversity of Arizona in Tucson in 1980. In his graduate work, he focused on lasers, quantum optics anddesktop experiments on special relativity and cosmology using frequency stabilized lasers.Mona ElHelbawyDr. Elhelbawy joined ECEE on July 1, 2022. Prior to joining CU Boulder, she taught at Colorado Schoolof Mines, California

population, Nguyen and Nguyen (2018) note “theproclivity of [FGS] studies to draw conclusions about a widely heterogeneous population” (p.156) is problematic for researchers. In short, intersectionality is crucial for scholars andpractitioners to understand and develop interventions that will impact FGS persistence andgraduation outcomes. First-generation Student LiteratureFGS-focused studies are important for higher education practitioners who focus on persistenceand graduation outcomes. A meta-analysis of the STEM FGS literature, clustered into fourpredominant categories, will be examined: family and sociocultural determinants; financial andcareer determinants; academic determinants; and noncognitive variables.STEM FGS

-secondary degree or education program tobegin their career and start contributing to electronics innovation. However, a several year delayin new workforce entries is of significant concern given the importance of electronics to societyand the broad staffing needs for design and manufacturing of semiconductors, printed circuitboards, advanced packaging, electronics assembly, test, and integration.This workforce gap has been documented with more than 100,000 domestic electronics industryjobs that have gone unfilled due to lack of sufficiently skilled or knowledgeable workers [3], [4].Of importance, the U.S. electronics industry has a significant impact on U.S. economy estimatedat $246.4 billion GDP [5]. To make matters worse, it is estimated that

viewproblems beyond engineering principles alone and guide them to make environmentally andsocially aware decisions.1. IntroductionThe design and operation of energy systems have direct impacts on the environment and society.Generating electricity by burning fossil fuels leads to greenhouse gas emissions and is one of themain culprits for the changing climate. Even renewable energy resources such as wind, solar, orhydro can have negative impacts on material usage, local environment, and/or microclimate.Moreover, the way electricity is produced, transmitted, and distributed to consumers canpotentially bring up many energy (in)justice issues. Particularly, as large-scale power outages dueto weather-induced natural disasters become a common occurrence
