A few examples of circuitsinvolving capacitors and non-resistive elements (e.g. integrators and differentiators) are alsogiven as examples of signal shaping circuits.In the laboratory, operational amplifiers are used to amplify signals in two practical applications.In the first experiment, students amplify the signals from an ultrasonic emitter/receive pair. Theobjective of the experiment is to measure the speed of sound by measuring the time delaybetween the original and reflected signals. In the second experiment, an operational amplifier isused to amplify the signal from an infrared emitter/detector pair used to measure the speed of avariable speed DC motor. Both the motor and the emitter

The format for these classes aresimilar (in curriculum) in that their end goal is to teach ‘C’ or ‘C++’ programming, as well asembedded hardware and applications. Most computer courses employ a large amount of hands-on lab material and selecting a proper embedded processor can greatly improve theoutcome/success of the course. In general, the preference is to use a processor that has:• Wide industry acceptance (usage after graduation).

They are uniquely placed toaddress systemic obstacles, but to do so, they need to have a nuanced grasp of social aspects.
