. He was an invited scholar at the University of Wyoming, fall 2004, where he was recognized as an emi- nent engineer and inducted into tau beta pi. In 2006 he co-authored ”Real-time Digital Signal Processing, from MATLAB to C with the TMS320C6x DSK” which was translated into Chinese in 2011. The second edition of this text was published in 2012. From 2007-2010 he was Professor and Chair of the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Boise State University, Boise, ID. From 2011-2012 he was the inaugural Signal Processing Education Network (SPEN) Fellow. From 2012-2014 he and his wife lived with 20 engineering students in the engineering residential college (ERC) on the Boise State campus. His research

who were slightly more active and visual had improvements in performanceindicators.21 Some simulations have shown a learning style bias;22,23 however, often times insimulations, there are no significant differences with respect to learning styles.23,24As with any tool, simulations must be properly used to be effective. While studies have shown atendency toward simulations to promote deep learning,10-13 there is an increasing cautiousnessdeveloping regarding technology’s effect on cognitive processes. In his provocative 2010 bookThe Shallows,25 Nicholas Carr suggests that the internet is resulting in a “hyperlink happy”society that is losing its ability to think deeply on material. In schools, the influence of our ever-connected society is
