100kΩ to model SBD.However, their work did not include a wider range of resistance values to better understand theeffects of SBD on the performance of the circuit. As such, they were unable to see the decreasein performance up until the point that hard breakdown (HBD) occurs.Working on latest technology issues is typically an opportunity available only to graduate levelstudents working on related research projects.

shrinks. With the rapid technology development,globalization, and intensified competition, to make the business transition smooth, there is anurgent need for our engineers, engineering students, and instructors to have direct interactionwith their international counterparts. A direct solution is for us to establish collaboration amongfaculties and students between U.S. and overseas partners.We initiated and established an international collaboration with institution in China. This is oneof the international programs that emphasizes on both research and educational aspects. Thisproject started by the Prof. Jin’s summer visit to Peking University (PKU), Beijing, China in2006 which is supported by Wang Faculty Fellowship at Peking University in

Work In Progress: Teaching Introductory Digital Design Online Bridget Benson, Bryan Mealy Electrical Engineering Department California Polytechnic State University San Luis ObispoAbstractAdvances in technology have created unique opportunities for teaching digital design courses.Students in the course no longer need to be present in the laboratory in order to obtain practicalhands on experience and master the course material as students can complete laboratoryassignments at home using relatively inexpensive commercial off the shelf developmentplatforms and free software design tools. In addition, eLearning tools such as Moodle, YouTube,chat rooms, and

. During the remaining sessions, weintroduced the concepts of variables, conditionals (if-else statements), iteration (loops) andfunctions. We wanted to see how well each environment would work for teaching each conceptand programming in general.We assessed the students' grasp of the chosen concepts and experiences through a pre-survey anda post-survey with quantitative and qualitative questions. Both surveys also asked the studentsabout their computing background and attitudes toward computing.
