Wediscuss how this course has evolved, its structure, and its impact on our students.Unclogging the Calculus PipelineIn 2013, the administration of Missouri University of Science and Technology (Missouri S&T)released a new strategic plan. One goal stated in the strategic plan was, as a campus, to “modifyour conventional methods of teaching to accommodate current, new and advanced technologythat will enhance student learning and increase faculty productivity.” While this soundssufficiently general (as would befit a strategic planning document), the

to thebeginning of class. Figure 2 is an example of one of the quizzes. Figure 3. Pre-class quiz exampleIn-Class Problems: Each module had an in-class problem. The in-class problems were designedto take the average student 10-15 minutes to complete. The students did not see the problemsuntil class started and were required to turn them in at the end of class for a grade, whichcomprised 25% of their grade. An example of an in-class problem is: Design an n-bit inverter.The circuit will have n number of inputs, xn through x1, and n output bits, fn through f1. Thecircuit will have an additional input, s. fk = xk(not inverted) when s=0 and fk = !xk(inverted) whens=1, where 1 ≤ k ≤ n. Use only XOR gates in your

theprocess, changes in the structure of the class, and motivations behind driving this change arepresented. Student feedback on the changed format was collected by way of a survey. The surveyresponses along with a comparison of the student exam performances are also presented. Basedon the student feedback and established research findings [13], some changes to the contentadapted for blended format are already under way. The instructor feels that the flexibility indeveloping video content is a good opportunity to fix the content and seeks to continue addingnew content or make changes to reflect accumulated experience and student feedback.The course under considerationThe Electrical Circuits is an undergraduate level course at Missouri S&T

Online information and data of power gridprovided by EIA and RTOs/ISOs will help students to get big pictures from regional power gridoperation to the whole North American electric grid. The new resources will provide studentsexperimental experience with data collected from practical power grid instead of working withphysical experimental systems in a laboratory. It will be significant to improve the undergraduateeducation program in power systems engineering and to attract students for cross-disciplinaryeducation.References[1] G. G. Karady, G. T. Heydt, K.

This cost is nothing as compared to the experience and skills that students might gain[1].

course in signal analysis. Thefortuitous timing of the presentation led to variations of Dr. Perrins experiment being adapted tothe new course at Pittsburg State.In Perrins paper students were tasked with developing a method(s) of generating an acousticalimpulse, i.e. popping a balloon or hitting two pieces of wood together. The acoustical impulsewas then generated within a well-known acoustical environment, the KU basketball arena. If theimpulse method the students devised was a relatively good approximation of an acousticalimpulse, then the result was an approximate mathematical model of the arena. Convolving theimpulse response with a clean voice signal produced the effect of the clean voice signal soundingas if it was in the basketball arena

preliminary analysis of the system is detailed below.Based on the competition information, it is assumed that the retrieval device will separate from amain parent satellite close to a piece of target debris and complete small maneuvering actions toachieve the best possible engagement position. Thruster nozzles using CO2 as a medium were goingbe used to demonstrate this motion. The concept is similar to the Manned Maneuvering Unit (MMU)developed by NASA for untethered extravehicular activity (EVA) activities. The design goal for thepayload was a simpler version incorporating only four thrusters. Two thrusters would be placed onthe outer edges of the main body and two on the rear in the same relative position.Calculations show that at 60 deg/s rotation
