thesmall “s” near the arrow head indicating that changes in one cause changes in the samedirection in the other. So, a student’s internal drive for learning can be strengthened byenhancing any one of the three internal constructs. As an example, if a student is moreinterested in a topic, they have a greater motivation to learn which has been shown tolead to a greater exercise of autonomous actions to engage in learning12. Theserelationships work in the reverse direction as well. For example, someone who is notinterested in what they are learning will also exhibit a lower motivation.Engaging the internal drive for developmentFigure 1 lays out the conceptual idea of the learner as one with an internal drive forlearning within the context of their

transistor (field-effect transistor), since the conduction path between drain(D) andsource(S) is electrically isolated from the gate(G). The fact of the technology is emphasizedby the circuit symbol and the requirement of a reasonably high gate field. The figure and thefacts emphasize that this requirement can be accomplished at the low voltage levels ofintegrated circuits only if the gate is separated from the semiconductor substrate by a thininsulation layer, which, for the choice of silicon as substrate, is SiO2, one of the bestelectrical insulators known. Since this oxide layer must be on the order of nanometers (10-9m), the strong link to technology is immediate and recognizable.The transistor action is also relatively simple and reasonably

Transferring the college-levelmodel to a high school environment required restructuring to provide the engineeringbackground and technical skills required by the individual project(s) and to acknowledgepedagogical needs of younger adolescents.

engineering departments across the country, McKenzie, et al.1,suggest that many capstone design instructors find it easy to evaluate the performance of a seniordesign team, but struggle to evaluate the individual performance of students within the team. Inan effort to assess the performance of both groups and individuals, Grove City College hasadopted a management by objective process for individuals, similar to the process outlined byTillman2.Management by objective (MBO) originated from Peter Drucker in the 1950’s. George Odiorneand others popularized the process in the 1960’s.

Once phase-lock is established the PreLock signal is forced low, instructing the Page 13.462.11register (Reg.) by means of the control logic (Cntl) to load only near the center of each symbol.Each symbol is sampled N s times, to produce one estimate of the phase error between the localclock and that corresponding to the received data. With a 50MHz system clock, to produce a1Mbps symbol rate the signaling speed is actually 2Mbs. It is convenient to sample the input at50MHz so that each symbol is sampled 50 times. FlipFlop

This was an additional incentive for liberal arts students to take the course. Therequired preparation for the class was limited to algebra, a little calculus, and good high-school science.It was open to all class years. Engineering students were welcome on the grounds that their knowledgewould enrich the class; they were expected to find the technical approach elementary but would get acomprehensive overview of the space flight problem.
