, but appeared to be used quite well in developing project work.At the culmination of the course, and in fact through the latter third of the semester, studentswere developing team project reports. In two earlier teachings of the course, the class wassmaller, and included several students from the instructor’s research group. As such, therewas a substantial hands-on / experimental component to the course. In the latest teaching, inFall 2009, the classroom was on the far side of campus from our MRES laboratory, so the labcomponent was limited to one afternoon of explorations. Page 15.870.5 4.

Methods of teaching or studying typically includereading of textbooks, performing experiments in laboratory setting, and using informationtechnologies. Assessment of learning outcomes often include quantitative measures for notionssuch as motivation to learn, real world applicability, and knowledge or learning awareness 13.IV.

unintended consequence of built-in obsolescence. Theineffectiveness of many designs has been resident in a static view of learning and teaching styles,personnel-dependence, an inability to manage changes in program size, and/or a lack ofportability and adoption by the larger educational community. To avoid these specific pitfalls inour design for educational enhancement, we are: (1) employing a dynamic view of learning andteaching styles where the characteristics of student and faculty are periodically measured toestablish an assessment process calibration, (2) using knowledge management systems to processvoluminous data collection and analysis in an efficient and flexible manner, (3) using a modulardesign of an established assessment paradigm that

The exercises detailed in this paper were developed for use as guided exercises(first part of the laboratory session). These exercises usually required between thirty and forty-five minutes to complete.While the exercises were developed for use with Pro/Engineer, the authors have ensured thatthey are compatible with Solid Works. The authors are also confident that these exercises can beeasily adapted to any higher-end CAD program without losing their content or educational value.The exercises presented below attempt to teach students some fundamental lessons aboutparametric design which will transcend both course and CAD

These proposedrepeatable experiments and teaching module can be included as one of the many geotechnicalengineering laboratory experiments. In these hands-on experiments students prepare samples, useinstruments and test results on an instructional shake table. In order to properly evaluate theaddition of these laboratory experiments, students should be required to take a short quiz or writea summary lab report. They should also be encouraged to develop their own experiments, whichare not part of the teaching module. Additional surveys to gauge student opinion on the benefitsof the

Theframework involves mathematically understanding a nonlinear op-amp circuit, simulating thecircuit and implementing the circuit in the laboratory. The students compare and study theresults from all three approaches. The goal of this framework is to teach a few basic butvery powerful concepts which can be used to analyze practical nonlinear op-amp circuits.This paper describes the framework followed by an application to the design, simulation andimplementation of a negative impedance converter.1 IntroductionThe main objective of this paper is to present an approach (i.e..framework) for understandingnonlinear op-amp circuits. Although other frameworks have been proposed in the
