integrate knowledge of advanced vector calculus, electromagnetictheory and computer programming to visualize fields and waves and to relate electromagneticsapplications to engineering design. The intent of the class is to improve students cognitive andaffective domains, by enabling them to use industry tools to experiment and develop their ownunderstanding of concepts taught in an active learning environment.IntroductionElectromagnetics is a standard, core course in the electrical, electronics and computer engineeringcurriculum. Electromagnetics is fundamental to understanding of many practical areas of electricalengineering: from operation and design of medical, office, industrial and military equipment;through design of sensors, circuits, PC

This paper will present the overall procedure carried in the seniorvehicle design project of reverse engineering of the World War II fighter planes byutilizing available historical resources and applying methods of group execution to arriveat a conceptual design of the aircraft. A method of aircraft design will be implemented tothe aircraft based on the flight mission requirements that the fighter planes were requiredto maintain. The handling of the student group will

Students can learn aboutthe architectural design features with BIM in addition to engineering and construction processes,so there is a need for research and development of educational methods supported by BIM andrelated technologies15.Traditionally the construction sequence is taught by using 2D drawings and critical path method(CPM) bar charts. Students find more success when they are able to visualize and conceptualizethe construction sequence in their minds using 3D models to correlate the relationships betweendifferent components and schedule activities

significant low-level programming. Although there areexceptions such as DLXOS1 where students implement an entire operating system, mostconcentrate on a few important subsystems out of necessity. There may be enough time in oneterm to cover all theory and concepts, but not enough to have programming assignments for eachof them. Instructors could therefore be more efficient if they can find assignments that exercise awide variety of OS concepts.

It is named “coaxial” because twoconductors share the same axis: one conductor is at the center of the cable, and the second iswrapped around it. This design minimizes signal degradation from external electromagneticsources as the signal only transmits between the two conductors. The design had a specific goalin mind: to meet the need for “An enormously wide frequency range” which would facilitateboth the new television technology as well as offer a more effective solution for telephonesystems.
