Study on Simulated Spaceborne Microwave Radiometer Measurements of EarthAbstractThis paper describes a NASA internship case study in which the outcome can be implemented ina classroom setting. Through this case study, the students can learn numerical interpolation andintegration of functions in a real world project as well as the error analysis. A tradeoff expectedto be observed is between the speed of obtaining results and getting accurate results. As a result,recommendations are expected for various data sets to ensure fast and accurate results. Thesimulation can also be carried out using Matlab.The case study discusses numerical convergence of simulated space-borne microwaveradiometer measurements of earth brightness

concepts through basic ideal examples typically found in textbooks. Eachsubsequent module in that level will slowly relax unrealistic assumptions, thus increasing thenumber of related variables and ultimately resulting in a problem close to real world application.Thus, within a given level, module sets contain modules that vary in complexity and abstractionfrom simple and concrete to complex and highly abstract. The final module at the expert levelwill be comparable to a capstone course project requiring complex modeling for solving a real-world application.One of the pedagogical requirements for module development is that the module be inquirybased and introduce problems, and sub problems, by posing questions. The module will thenguide students

A unit quiz was given one week, and a unit exam the nextweek, so that there was a quiz or exam every week. Each of the seven units had 8-11 unit objectives and 15-20homework problems. Homework was collected each week on the day of the quiz or exam.Classes were held in a large auditorium, and DyKnow was used to deliver the basic course notes to students.DyKnow is an interactive classroom management software.
