a portable lab facility,students can apply the tools they use in the classroom in their personal projects. The mostobvious examples involve tinkering with cars (e.g., finding security system workarounds forsomeone building a car from an early 90’s GM drivetrain) and robotics (e.g., adding a realelectrical engineering component to a project for a robotics competition). Less obvious are thekinds of activities that show how exciting engineering can be provided by our students that makeus so proud of them (e.g. finishing that great idea they had in their high school science fair ontheir own or a handicapped driver visiting science classes in their old high school).Whenstudents share these real world experiences, they are providing the best kind

time, students have a theoretical understanding of the operation of these gates, havingderived truth tables in lecture. In this activity, students wire up pushbuttons to the input(s) ofeach gate and connect the output of the gate to an LED. Stepping through all possible inputcombinations, the truth table for each gate is verified. This not only reinforces the theoreticalconcepts, especially for those students who have a more sensory, active learning style, butintroduces students to wiring and illustrates how a simple device such as an LED can be veryuseful in verifying circuit operation and in debugging a circuit.In order to complete the Exploration component of this laboratory exercise (a scrolling 7-segment display), students must be able to

Explain your reasoning.A: The network analyzer measurements should agree most closely with the measurement taken by the DMM at the Figure 5 – The Penn State EECS Anechoic Chamber lowest frequency within the range of measurement frequencies, in this case at 300 kHz. This does make sense because the DMM measures at the lowest possible frequency, 0 Hz or DC.Q: Compare all three network analyzer measurements.

implemented with larger group sizes. While teaching a course with a group-basedstructure is often more work for the instructor, it provides a great benefit to the students andreduces operational and support cost. Engineering students need to gain as much experienceworking on teams as possible, so they are prepared for the teaming environment that isprevalent in industry. For this reason, educators should try to incorporate a group-basedcourse design that includes ample individual assignments whenever it is possible. It wasfound that a 50/50 model, where half of the grade came from group work and half came fromindividual work functioned well in ECE3873.References1. E. Sancristobal, M. Castro, S. Martin, M.

unscreened I/O wires can be awkward to handle but they are a working compromise betweensimplicity, frequency range, noise limits and cost. However, other connectors common inlaboratory settings such as BNC coax and scope probes can be easily added.It uses the well-established Digilent Waveforms software to display power supply, analog anddigital signal sources as well as a two-channel fully differential oscilloscope. The maximumsampling rate is 100 M sample/s but oversampling is always assured with 16 k samples in achannel record. This illustrates an interesting design compromise for the educational market. Itmeans a lower nominal bandwidth but since the full frame of the oscilloscope image has 16 kdata points, there is no risk of undersampling. For
