The eportfolio will be usedby all future students in the radio lab.In summary, the results of implementing eportfolios in the radio lab exceeded our expectations.It was perceived by both observation and survey results that the students learned more fromutilizing the eportfolio than they would have without it. The students also reported satisfactionfrom the use of the eportfolio primarily due to the creative format. Finally, the use of theeportfolios provided additional pedagogical insight that was not readily available from thetechnical memo format.References[1] S.

project clearly indicated that the studentswere able to apply knowledge gained from almost all courses in their undergraduateeducation. They were also able to design and implement a useful application using modernengineering tools and a variety of computer languages such as C and MySQL database. Theproject implementation met both its constraints; low-cost and low power consumption. Theproject design and implementation also satisfied many of student learning outcomes, asdefined by ABET, for capstone design projects.VII.

according to the wheat and chessboard problem. • The ruler laughs it off as a meager prize for a brilliant invention, only to have court treasurers report the unexpectedly huge number of wheat grains would outstrip the ruler's resources. • Versions differ as to whether the inventor becomes a high-ranking advisor or is executed.This example can lead to explaining the idea of pole location as related to stable and unstablesystems. Figure 3 illustrates this principle.

-pass, high-pass, band-pass and band-reject as well as an active band-pass filter over two laboratorysessions held in two consecutive weeks. The application of low-pass filters for removing the power supplynoise is included in the laboratory manual which helps the students observe the reduction of the noise ofthe output signal of their amplifiers when a capacitor is added to the power supply terminals of the op-amp(s). Students are asked to keep the passive low-pass filter they have implemented in their breadboardsfor future use in the final project.5) Analog to Digital Conversion (ADC)Lectures: The lectures are started by bringing students’ attention to the point that physical signals have ananalog nature (as they can take any value) and are

appropriate and immediate actions to correct them. Often, theobserved difficulties were very different from the instructor‟s expectations.The two negative results from the instructor-based observations, which suggested changes to bemade in the way we were using the strategy, concerned motivating students to prepare for classon a regular basis, and students‟ discomfort with the formative/summative assessment gradingscheme being used. These concerns were echoed in the Student Evaluation Surveys, taken of 62students in both courses at the end of the semester. A summary of the principal results of thesurvey follows: Perception of learning: 45 students (73%) felt that they learned more with team-based learning (as implemented) than
