necessarily adaptable to the needs of a general electrical engineering educationallaboratory.6,7 In most cases it appears that the equipment and space required are not necessarilyadaptable to a studio-style classroom environment, which we have found to be a successfulinstructional approach.8,9Our laboratory equipment as well as the overall course approach is designed with several goalsin mind. We required a small laboratory footprint due to space limitations. Furthermore due tobudget concerns we wished to exploit conventional bench equipment as much as possible,allowing us to leverage both space and the instruments used for our core 2nd and 3rd-year courses.Also, we wished to introduce switching regulator concepts at a level that is approachable

, which is a technical writing course offered by the Englishdepartment specifically designed to teach engineers best practices for writing reports andresearch papers. It is therefore expected that students should be reasonably proficient inpresenting their results in written form. It is clear from their narrative descriptions in the surveythat they have not necessarily internalized the entire data reporting process. Descriptions focusheavily on writing tasks and calculation tasks, but tend to forget the higher order tasks ofscientific and academic argument. The tasks which are more concrete, such as graphing,calculating, and following standard writing schemes stick in students’ minds as the key tasks inprocessing lab data. It is particularly
