yearsprogramming is still considered to be a difficult course demands the location of a new, probablyearlier, starting point, and different methods and media to teach it. “Programming is a very usefulskill and can be a rewarding career. In recent years the demand for programmers and studentinterest in programming has grown rapidly, and introductory programming courses have becomeincreasingly popular.”4 Since the early 70’s there has been an intense effort towards determiningand adopting appropriate and efficient methods that would optimize the learners’ ability tounderstand and solve programming related problems. 4, 5 For these reasons, identifying theoptimum way to teach programming and algorithmic thinking has for decades been one of thebiggest

technical specificationsWhen designing either a transformer or an inductor, a wire is required for the winding(s) aroundthe magnetic core. Wire selection is typically based on the window area of the core as well astolerable amount of copper losses in watts. The web-based magnetic design contains a sub-routine that automatically looks for the wire size (gauge) that most closely fits the calculatedcore material and type. However, since the program is meant to aid in basic calculations ofsimple inductor and transformer designs, the wire selection does not take into account complexconfiguration of winding such as bifiliar or more, interleaving, etc. Figure 5 illustrates the stepwhere wire size is determined including three data related to the selected

One idea for expansion is to add capacitance-voltage measurementcapability by purchasing an additional source measurement unit for the measurement system.There is also interest in redesigning the switch matrix to allow multiple SMU’s to drive the DUTand enable 3 terminal device testing. This could most likely be accomplished with minimalalterations to the current test system and only minor updates to the control program. All of thesepossibilities will be explored by graduate and undergraduate students in the coming years.References[1] S. Freeman, S. L. Eddy, M. McDonough, M. K. Smith, N. Okoroafor, H. Jordt, and M.

technology.III. What is Software Defined Radio(SDR)?Software Defined Radio (SDR)11-14 is an emerging technology built on one of the greatdevelopments of the 20th Century: fast and cheap microcomputers. It represents a new method inprocessing radio signals that is a quantum leap over the older, original method of analogprocessing.Since the invention of radio in the late 1800’s, signals have been processed through a singlemethod: the signal is picked up by an antenna that turns the radio wave back into a fluctuatingvoltage signal. This signal is passed on to various components in the receiver which react with itto eventually produce the sound, video or data that is desired.The function of these components and systems has been modeled mathematically in

If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future.
