The coursegrades also include I for incomplete, S for satisfactory and W for withdraw. All +/- letter gradeswere converted to a range between 0.00 and 4.00 based on Table 2.In addition to the course grades and cumulative GPA per semester, the dataset containsinformation such as the location of origin, ethnicity and gender, and previous educationalperformance if it existed. —- has a “repeat-delete” policy that allows students to retake a courseand replace the previous grade with the grade from the latest offering of the course

Theinstructor was a full-time faculty member at the university with over 10 years of teachingexperience. S/he had taught the DTSS course discussed here several times prior to the two termsin question. Student participants in the study were predominantly male, junior or senior students,majoring in electrical engineering. The majority of students were also domestic and in-state.However, they varied greatly in GPA. The students were also diverse in race/ethnicity with overhalf being either White or Asian. The

It was designed by and manufactured for a university with no intention ofspinning off a commercial enterprise, at least on its own. When other products became available,production ended and it was replaced in the classroom, mostly by Digilent’s Analog Discovery.Available for about the same amount of time as Mobile Studio are the CircuitGear devices fromSysComp. Their CircuitGear Mark II has a bandwidth of about 10MHz (40MS/s and 10bits) andcosts $189.

The main purpose is to show students how to verify their paper designs throughsimulation and to introduce students to practical matters they may see in industry. This includesexploring the impact of microstrip bend and tee artifacts in order to make a practical deviceconform to specific ports on a fixture. Students can adjust their designs to re tune their deviceswhen these practical matters are added. Students also use ADS to explore concepts such asvariability in device dimensions or reverse engineering an existing layout given mask dimensionsand measured S parameters. The ADS projects are easily implemented

task of verifying the theoretical description of circuit performance is definitelyfound in the lower three Bloom’s levels. When the students were asked to predict the cause(s) fora given fault in the observed circuit behavior and then simulate as validation, they were workingin the upper three levels. Both of these tasks can also be done experimentally, but it may not bepossible to fully identify the cause of the fault using only one approach. Finally, the time andfrequency dependent data obtained for circuits using either method have similar formats and,thus, involve similar issues in doing them correctly. For example, triggering a scope (akadeciding when to start collecting data) and specifying time and voltage scales require verysimilar
