, our students know that all of these things will look good on aresume. This pressure and over-commitment can force students to find ways to get everythingdone on time. Sometimes, when pressed for time, “Googling” seems like the best way toproceed. Overtime, this strategy can become a habit, and with it brings a number of caveats.Nichols, for example fears “…we are witnessing the death of the ideal of expertise itself, aGoogle-fueled, Wikipedia-based, blog-sodden collapse of any division between professionalsand laypeople, students and teachers, knowers and wonderers—in other words, between those ofany achievement in an area and those with none at all” [1, p. 3].Besides often eliminating the need to process new information and think critically

Introduction Léon Foucault first started publicly conducting his famous experiment in 1851. Hisdemonstration (now dubbed the Foucault Pendulum) has since been recreated in museums anduniversities worldwide. He suspended a 28-kg iron coated lead ball from a height of 67-m fromthe dome of the Panthéon, Paris, France [1]. He demonstrated how the precession waspredictable according to the latitude of the location of the pendulum. Although impressive, thissetup is not necessarily easy to reproduce at this scale. To understand the theory behind a pendulum’s precession, the student was directed tovarious

Because of the earth’s limited conductivity, it takes a relatively large amountof power to overcome ground losses (in addition to spherical dispersion losses) and these groundlosses increase as the frequency is increased. Hence, this is why practical ground wavecommunication is limited to the MF and below bands (i.e. below 3 MHz). Another means of radiopropagation is tropospheric bending where

The students have to be exposed early onto exciting problems, challenging duties and responsibilities. Less available time for reflectingnewly acquired knowledge has to be compensated by interweaving the different fields ofknowledge. A particularly suitable way of doing so is the establishment of interdisciplinaryproject work already in early semesters, since there seems to be no better way of acquiringcomprehension than if it arises from personal experience [1].For this purpose, we have established a coherent procedure at Joanneum University ofApplied Sciences, Institute of Automotive Engineering, which familiarizes students in achallenging

Engineering Physics I (Mechanics) In Their Freshman Year.AbstractThe physics course evaluations and feedback studies are extremely important at the freshmanlevel due to several reasons. The evaluations hold students’ reflections on learning outcomeswhich can help the instructor make necessary changes in the current practice as well as providean engaging environment to accelerate the learning process. Teaching Engineering Physics I atthe university level is always challenging and interesting since it requires an empathy with thestudents who have just arrived from various high schools. This paper reports the results of anindependent classroom survey conducted at the end of fall 2016 and 2017. Aims of this surveyare threefold: 1. To measure the course

operating at 1 kHz wasvastly different when used in a 5 MHz circuit. The difference was way beyond simpleexperimental error. Investigation showed that the relative permeability of the iron core wasfrequency dependent and thus its inductance was not simply a function of geometry, number ofturns, and turn density. For this reason, choke manufacturers specify frequencies where the ratedinductances are valid.The lessons learned in this paper are not just for those who will do radio frequency (RF)engineering, but apply to other Electrical Engineering (EE) areas as well. In the case of modernhigh speed digital systems where clock frequencies are in excess of 200 MHz, a seemingly shortlead length may have to be treated as a transmission line to in order

The goal of our cross-disciplinarycollaboration is to identify important problem-solving skills across science, engineering, andmedicine and to create assessments that measure these skills within the context of a given field.This paper discusses a particular assessment developed for optical engineering, called opticsblack box, which is designed to test a number of problem-solving decisions.

The test stand wasdesigned and built by a graduate student so that the students in the introduction to engineeringcourse can conduct their own experiments using model rocket engines of various sizes. Fromobtained time-thrust curves, the students were successful in using three different techniques(adding trapezoid areas using Excel, manually counting the number of squares under the thrustcurve and using a MATLAB program) to calculate the impulse. A students’ attitude survey showedthat the students were highly satisfied with this hands-on experience in rocket science andintegration.IntroductionExperiential learning is a well-documented [1-3] and a well recognized part of

We use the results of recent published research inphysics education to introduce students to the concept of simulated quantum computation.

educational environments (e.g., [1], [2]). One of the student outcomes in the ABET criteriaincludes “an ability to function effectively on a team” and to “create a collaborative andinclusive environment” [3, p. 6]. Creating classroom cultures where students feel included andsupported is crucial for students’ sense of belonging, identities as scientists and engineers,learning, and persistence in STEM [4]–[9]. Through creating inclusive environments in ourclasses, we can help our students learn to engage in effective, respectful, and equitablecollaboration. Even further, we can empower students to examine who has access to, and isincluded in, the scientific community. To that end, we consider investigations of who doesphysics to be a part of physics

But although the continuum approximation provides an elegant model for the oscillatorybehavior of linear elastic solids it should be made clear to the students that it is applied tofundamentally discrete phenomena. A vibrating beam, for instance, is usually regarded as acontinuous object, yet if one looks at a fine enough scale, the beam is made up of atoms,suggesting a discrete model with an incredibly huge number of degrees of freedom [2].Apart from elasticity, some other properties of materials can be obtained by thinking of themas an orderly assembly of particles

sampling receiver.IntroductionIn modern signal processing systems, the input analog signal is usually digitized first and thenfed into a digital signal processor. The digitizing process can be divided into two steps: samplingand quantizing. The sampling process can be described mathematically as a multiplication with acomb function, which is a periodic pulse train with very narrow pulse width. In the frequencydomain, the multiplication becomes a convolution. The comb function is very interesting inFourier transform, since the result is still a comb function. Therefore, the effect of theconvolution is generating many copies of the transformed input signal with the spacing of thesampling frequency, which is shown in Fig. 1 [1]. If the sampling rate
