theresistance of resistors, the current in a closed electrical circuit, the voltage drop across resistors,light emitting diodes (LEDs), and batteries. Using a signal generator and an oscilloscope,students learned the difference between dc and ac voltage signals. Ohm’s law was also coveredin this module. An attempt was made to determine the speed of sound with the signal generator,oscilloscope, a loudspeaker, a microphone, and a meter ruler. In addition to using DMM tomeasure the resistance of resistors, the students learned how to use color codes to determine thevalue of the resistance of resistors. Figure 4 shows an example of the color code used for thisexercise. Figure 5 shows an example of schematic electrical diagrams that students worked on.This

years, 20 at Exxon and 5 in the high tech industry, an unexpected layoff came at a bad time, she was also newly widowed. Job offers that were once plentiful were nowhere to be found. The first, and only, offer to finally appear was to teach physical science at Bayonne High School, for a significant pay cut. A new adventure began. In the 14 years since then, she got to start up a research program, an engineering program, a science club, two FIRST Tech Challenge robotics teams, and brought in several new programs such as Technology Students Association, Young Science Achievers, and ACS Project SEED. She’s been invited back do pharmaceutical engineering research with Research Experience for Teachers at NJIT every summer

involved. It did not take too much time awayfrom the REU students’ research activities, yet provided them with an opportunity to reach out toyounger students. It provided the REU students with an opportunity to work on theircommunication skills. By requiring the REU students to share their experiences and enthusiasmfor engineering, it reminded them of the reasons why they chose to pursue engineering or STEMdegrees in the first place. Given the positive outcomes of this experiment, it is our intention toorganize such activities in future REU program offerings.Acknowledgments:The author gratefully acknowledges the support of the National Science Foundation REUprogram NSF award # EEC-1359137 (2014-2017), award # EEC-1004915 (2010-2013) andaward # EEC

Irving, Texas. His research interests are signal processing, information theory, and their applications to neuroengineer- ing and wireless communication and networks. Particular focus is on the interplay of communication systems and networks; including network coding, user cooperation, spectrum sharing, opportunistic ac- cess, and scheduling with different delay constraints as well as millimeter wave communications. In neuro-engineering, his interests are on modeling neuronal circuits connectivity and the impact of learning on connectivity, on real-time closed-loop stabilization of neuronal systems to mitigate disorders such as epilepsy, Parkinson, depression, and obesity, on developing an understanding of
