This approach parallels theone recommended by the lead author for homework exercises. In these, students are always toldthe final answer. Therefore they know whether or not they have mastered the material. If theycan’t match the answer, then they know it’s time to visit the professor or teaching assistant foradditional guidance. Nobody is in doubt as to whether they’ve achieved mastery. Page 15.891.6Interactivity by design:The modules are all designed to allow a greater or lesser amount of design freedom

Thepaper will present results of these analyses and offer insights in terms of where the courses werewell aligned and where alignment could benefit from further attention. Hopefully, this analysiswill provide a firmer basis for future conversations about alignment between engineering sciencecourses and the first-year courses that are, in part, expected to prepare students for these courses.IntroductionStudent knowledge and skill with respect to mathematics and physics is a major part of thefoundation for their progress in mastering an engineering discipline.

As the bachelor level programs have emerged, more graduate students are staying inthe discipline for graduate school, yet many also switch over to physics and electricalengineering. Figure 2 shows a graphical representation of associate, bachelor, master, and Ph.D.degree granting programs. Of the eleven institutions reviewed, nine offer more than one level ofdegree in optics, with the most overlap in master’s degree offerings.

They are perplexed,vexed, dismayed and highly inquisitive about what could have gone wrong. A bit of Socraticquestioning by the instructor will lead them to deduce that the most likely source of error is thespacing of the aluminum plates, in that the aluminum foil is not glued to the glass at any point.This hypothesis is then tested by placing one or more large reference books (often a volume ortwo of the EEM master) on top of their capacitor which is placed on a flat surface.

The normal Fetch, Decode, and Execute phases can also be addressed quite effectively with this simple language. The use of this language can transform the assembly code instructions and operations down to the microprogrammable level in accordance with the transition of the master clock. Since each instruction has to pass through the above three phases in Table 1, and in order to restrict the operations of each instructions within specified time windows, an instruction sequence counter (SC) is used that will provide a number of timing pulses T0 , T1 , ..., T6 , Fig 3
