uploading an artifact, selecting acategory, writing a description, listing skills, tagging teammates, and creating a hashtag. Eachstudent in the REU Program created ten posts during the ten-week program. They documentedresearch deliverables, professional and technical sessions, field trips, conferences, or anyexperience that helped them grow professionally.The purposes of e-portfolios were for developmental (learning/reflection), showcase(professional/career), assessment (summative), and institutional (academic) purposes [6]. TheREU Program focused on the developmental and showcase uses. For developmental purposes,their e-portfolios promoted transferable skills, lifelong learning, and reflective thinking [7]. Asone student shared, “The

semester, students are required to submit a ½ to 1-page analogy reflection. Inthe assignment, students must either reflect on one of the analogies given throughout the courseto connect it to a personal life experience, or to create their own analogy that connects the circuitcontent to another topic, and reflect on the connection to a life experience. The analogy shouldbe stated, and the underlying deep structure between the source and target should be described.For grading, the correctness of the statements made about the analogy and the related circuittopic are checked (i.e., the stated deep structure is sensible and correct). Also, how well theanalogy is related to the student’s own life experience is assessed. The grading of the

utilizes a 2.2nF capacitor in series with an IR phototransistor that conditionally discharges the capacitor proportionally to the amount of reflected IRlight it receives (which has been reflected back from its surroundings). Figure 14 shows theschematic for these IR sensors. Figure 14. IR photo transistors and IR emitters used in the front, left & center sensors.By making the bidirectional pin an output for one-half of the cycle, the capacitor is charged to alogic high. Then, the bidirectional pin is changed to an input, and the IR photo transistordischarges the capacitor. This time of discharge is measured using counters inside the CPLD andhas proven to be stable and accurate. Calibration is needed and the students are required toprovide

)]where V0+ is incident voltage and V0- is reflected voltage. At the source location z = -ℓ and theinput impedance seen by the source is given by:Zin = Z0 [ ZL + Z0 tanh(γℓ) ] / [ Z0 + ZL tanh(γℓ) ] Ωwhere tanh(γℓ) = [exp(γℓ) – exp(-γℓ)]/[ exp(γℓ) + exp(-γℓ] and ΓL = (ZL – Z0)/( ZL + Z0)=V0-/V0+Students at this point see the mathematical complexity of the EM problem. The followingnumerical example helps students compute input impedance and complex power delivered to theload by using a software package.We next present a MATHCAD example for computation of complex power absorbed by a loadimpedance ZL = 100 + j50 Ω, connected to a voltage source vs(t) = 20.28 cos (ωt) V with sourceresistance Rs = 20 Ω and frequency of f = 75 MHz.

and the Maker Movement(Halverson & Sheridan, 2014; Jordan & Lande, 2016; Larson, Lande, Jordan, & Weiner,2017; Weiner, Lande, & Jordan, 2017; Wigner, Lande, & Jordan, 2016).Like Differentiated Instruction (DI), Project-Based Learning (PBL) is also used as astudent-centered and student-driven approach which enables teachers to help studentsmeet their learning needs (Miller, 2012). Miller (2012) proposes six strategies forDifferentiated Instruction in Project-Based Learning; (1) differentiate through teams:structuring teams is important as it helps teachers facilitate the teams through instructionbased on their needs, (2) reflection and goal setting: an important part of PBL is reflectionas it helps students know their

Learner Capstone Panels Approach In this approach, the students select their preferred technical focus in computer systems design topicsamong a set of 5 to 7 technical focus topics such as reliability, circuit energy, memory read/write powerconsumption, etc. as identified by the course Instructor. Students are mentored on extending the coursematerial from a topic list by the laboratory Graduate Teaching Assistants (GTAs) and the courseInstructor. The students gain experience composing a scholarly article and produce a substantial paperthat reflects a deep understanding of a topic having narrow breadth. Extra Credit (EC) is allotted to thoselearners who go beyond the baseline requirements and explore additional papers in order to provide amore
