of their sections served as the test group,while the other(s) were used as control. The control classes were taught without MLMsusing typical textbook reading assignments, and online homework through the textbookpublisher, Pearson. At Wentworth, the textbook, Pearson’s University Physics 14thedition by Young and Freedman, and the online system, MasteringPhysics, isstandardized throughout the department. In the test group, no in-class instruction waschanged, however the chosen MLM platform was deployed in addition to the textbookreading. In the fall of 2016, one professor was responsible for implementation in theEngineering Physics I course (mechanics), while the other was responsible forimplantation in the Engineering Physics II

However,examples are chosen from transmission line losses, input impedance and stability of amplifiers based onS-parameters.Example 1: A lossless transmission line is connected to a load with 𝑍! =0. The characteristic impedanceof the line is 50Ω. (a) Plot 𝑉 𝑥 as a function

that the position data is correct they are asked to use thecode to collect position and time data for a cart moving on a horizontal track. The carts are fairlylow friction and students expect to find a linear relationship between the position and time. Thisproject has been run with 4 laboratory sections (20 different lab groups of 3-4 students) over twospring semesters. Each year one lab group has used the 0.25 s delay between acquisitions as the∆t to build their position vs. time graphs. This produces very good results for a cart that is givena speed of around 0.5 m/s. The rest of the lab groups have relied on the default time variable,Duration, output by the starter sketch, see Fig. (4). This output produces a plot of position vs.time that

conducted, we have uncovered, timeand time again, that our students come into our classes with issues that have a direct or indirectbearing on their ability to learn physics. One central question this paper aims to address is: Arethe factors that impede or enhance student learning in physics any different in the millennial age?IntroductionToday’s classrooms are largely populated by millennials. For the past two decades we have seenincreased use of variety of terms used to describe them. The millennial is often considered to bean individual born sometime between approximately 1980 and 2000. We often refer to thissubset of the population as Generation Y or Gen Y. Other names given to this group ofindividuals include Echo Boomers and 24/7’s

. Students might resent us for having them do more work and that is alrightbecause it will take time for them to develop the skill and it is hard to see its benefits right away.Along the way some encouragement helps keep students motivated. Collaboration betweeninstructors is also important for consistency and permanency of the skill, so it is favorable if thestudents are using similar layouts throughout their program. The author is planing to collect follow-up feedback form the same students before theygraduate. Starting this new academic year, the author is also using the Force Concept Inventory9to assess students’ learning more quantitatively.1. S. Bonham, R. Beichner, and D.
