Professional DevelopmentEleven (11) experienced and six (6) inexperienced GTAs were employed in Fall 2007.Experienced GTAs had been assigned a first-year engineering laboratory section and gradednearly all students’ work, including students’ work on MEAs, in at least one prior semester.Inexperienced GTAs had no prior experience with the first-year engineering course. All GTAsreceived four hours of professional development (PD) training prior to the start of the Fall 2007semester. The PD focused on several aspects: connecting engineering practice to teaching, theMEA pedagogy, audience information (first-year engineering students), and practical issues ofMEA implementation and assessment14. GTAs were trained to understand the open-ended andrealistic
linear circuit theory and are starting the study of op-amp circuits. Theframework involves mathematically understanding a nonlinear op-amp circuit, simulating thecircuit and implementing the circuit in the laboratory. The students compare and study theresults from all three approaches. The goal of this framework is to teach a few basic butvery powerful concepts which can be used to analyze practical nonlinear op-amp circuits.This paper describes the framework followed by an application to the design, simulation andimplementation of a negative impedance converter.1 IntroductionThe main objective of this paper is to present an approach (i.e..framework) for understandingnonlinear op-amp circuits. Although other frameworks have been proposed in the

learning has yet to be seen [4]. The lackof remote teaching in engineering, prior to the pandemic, has been attributed to the inherentnature of the discipline, which requires hands-on training to work with instruments and materialsin controlled laboratory settings [5]. Learning experiences that support practical knowledge andskill development are essential for engineers but are difficult to create in a digital environment[5]. Consequently, researchers have claimed that transiting conventional engineering courses thatfocus on content-centered and designed-oriented learning to online may not provide studentswith the in-depth learning required in engineering [5-6]. Furthermore, converting conventionalengineering courses to remote instruction
