other web portals, PRISM specializes in highly interactive mind-ware, such asprocess simulations, visualizations, modeling packages, cognitive skills builders, serious gaming– in short, all forms of software that increase student task engagement and improve learning. Theproject’s main goal is to improve learning in middle school STEM by helping teachers toembrace digital learning tools as extensions of their own dynamic presence in the classroom. InDecember 2006, PRISM was selected by T.H.E. Journal (Technology Horizons in Education) asone of the top 15 educational technology innovations in the nation for K-12.We believe our target audience offers substantive opportunities for integrating engineering-basedcomputer tool literacy into existing

development of achat-bot built on student’s questions and understandings and perceptions of course contentprovides the instructor with a unique look onto the minds of students. With the oversight anddirection of the instructor and with the aid of students a true content specific engineeringartificial intelligence may be created. Through this process we may better understand thecomplex learning process of our students. Page 15.181.12Bibliography1. S.

for interested students.With this in mind, students must be convinced of three things: 1) that the “gospel” of Fs ≥ 2fmax (i.e.,sampling at least twice the highest signal frequency) that they learned regarding lowpass sampling is only aspecial case, 2) that for bandpass signals the selection of sampling frequency is more complicated, and that3) aliasing is not always a bad thing. By choosing Fs properly, aliasing places the signal spectrum wherewe want it, yet avoids the overlapping of spectral replicas that would render the signal useless.7, 8A bandpass signal is one where the energy is constrained to lie only between a lower frequency of fL andan upper frequency of fU . Thus the bandwidth of this signal is B = fU − fL . One useful form of
