analysis courses for electrical engineering students and electricalengineering technology students.I. Introduction:Operational amplifiers with negative feedback have three modes of operation. The non-invertingamplifier, the inverting amplifier and the voltage follower. The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output

physics lab report writing and undergraduate research paper writing.I. IntroductionThe City University of New York instituted a writing intensive component in its curriculummore than ten years ago. Queensborough Community College (QCC), being a junior college inthe CUNY System, requires two writing intensive courses for graduation. Our PhysicsDepartment has designated Calculus Physics and Technology Physics classes as writingintensive classes where lab report writing is a substantial element 1. A quick review of the 2014high school SAT score shows that Engineering majors have higher critical reading scores whencompared to English majors, while English majors have higher writing scores when compared toengineering majors 2, 3. The result would
