Eachproject included schematics, a brief description of the use of the circuit, its functionality andapplication limitations. Also, several short talks were given to freshmen classes across campuswith a focus on engineering students in particular. The project was promoted and potentialparticipants were

Many electrical/computer engineeringleading industries use MATLAB and its toolboxes.The first investigation in this paper demonstrates under what conditions a length of connectingwire must be treated as transmission line. Essentially, if the operating frequency is high enoughthat the wire length is a significant portion of a wavelength, then a transmission line model mustbe used. Here, a MATLAB demonstration

abstract nature [2]. Part of the difficulties stem from the lackof hands-on or laboratory components in many electromagnetics courses [3]. Even where thecourses include lab components, the laboratory assignments or demonstrations are often non-comprehensive, for example, course in [4] has a lab component for transmission line andresonator, but the topics in the lab do not cover most of the course syllabus. Other courses maycontain simulations or MATLAB demos on limited topics, [5] but lack physical demonstrationsor assignments.In our university, EM theory has been separated into a two-sequence course, a requiredfundamental course and an advanced selective course. The fundamental course focus on staticfields, dynamic field and wave propagation. The

Tutors often organize problem solving sessions or review sessionsbefore midterm or final examinations.Students organize their own study groups. We believe that this is a direct result of thecommunity we have strived to create in the department. We have an open lab policy: studentscan study in the laboratories if no class is being offered there. We encourage students to work ontheir assignments together. We believe that collaboration is a key to successful learning. Becausestudents are admitted directly into the department, they never compete

For an open-ended problem, multiple viable and correct solutionsexist. Students’ writings, portfolios, or design-based projects, laboratories, or fourth-yearcapstone projects are areas in which outcomes-based research has been extensively investigated[9]–[12].Most of the work done on closed-ended problem solving is related to aiding students with self-regulation and building their problem-solving capability, rather than aiding the feedback process.Examples of the former include models of problem-solving in engineering and informationprocessing [13]–[17].

Traditionally for teaching technology-based courses,laboratory experiments were offered using a hands-on approach. With the miniaturization ofintegrated circuits, it is becoming very difficult to construct a PC board or assemble surfacemount chips in a lab environment. This shortcoming of the hands-on approach has led professorsand teachers to incorporate simulation in place of hands-on in technology-based lab courses.
