Moststudents were able to conclude that the battery was not able to provide unlimited current ormaintain a constant voltage when shorted and that it was a non-ideal source.Laboratories for advanced concepts such as operational amplifier circuits and AC circuit analysiswere handled through P-Spice, a circuit simulation software package. In the summer 2010course, we found that students struggled with the advanced labs without someone knowledgeablein troubleshooting to help them. Students surveyed during the Summer 2010 course commented Page 25.1376.13that they did not know how to use the oscilloscope, function generator

These delayed the PBL design process, andshifted much of the design work to the end of the semester, overwhelming and frustrating thestudents.To overcome these difficulties, a PBL project with a guided design method was introduced in thefall semesters of 2009 and 2010. The guided design component permitted us to introduce threefundamental parts of an FM or an AM transmitter/receiver circuit to guide the students in thedesign of their circuits.The PBL project with the guided design component “PBGD” added a fifth objective:e) To guide the students’ learning with experiences that build on
