WAC activities in the classroom can be categorized as Writing to Learn
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

the environment.High School ModelIt is a natural step to expand on the concept to the high school level to provide anintroduction to engineering using service-learning design. 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. Instructional teams were formed using highschool teachers and mentors from local industry and/or university programs.The first pilot high-school program was initiated by alums at Bedford North LawrenceHigh School in Bedford, Indiana10.

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. Odiorne describes MBO as “A processwhereby the superior and the subordinate managers of an enterprise jointly identify its commongoals, define each individual’s major areas

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

project teams.ConclusionA methodology for teaching differential equations suitable for small institutions is discussed.The course is team-taught by two instructors, one from mathematics and one from engineering.The instructors utilize the small-class size and the diverse backgrounds and interests of thestudents to enhance student learning. Students complete final projects on real-life modelingproblems with differential equations within a multidisciplinary team. Course assessment surveysand oral feedback from students and the faculty in mathematics and engineering are indicatorsthat our methodology is effective in teaching differential equations to engineering students.Bibliography1.
