the current state (e.g., output 0 for state A) and the next state based on the current state andvalue of the input (e.g., the top row of the next state is 01 for state A).The tabular representation is then translated into a set of Boolean expressions (see diagram 3 inFigure 2) that determines how the state transitions and outputs are implemented. Assuming thatD-type flip-flops are used in the circuit, the next-state encoding and the D input of the flip-flopsare equivalent, so D is often used in place of Q+ in these equations. Boolean expressions can besimplified to minimize the number of operators in the expression using a variety of techniques.Finally, the Boolean expressions are used to construct a schematic for the sequential circuit

Although presented in groups, the prompts are given in the orderpresented to the survey takers. Note that Tables 10, 11, and 12 contain preamble text in the tablecaptions. The preambles were presented as an introduction to the respective group of Likert scaleitems.The tables of prompts have the same column headings. The first column is “Q #”, which is theitem label assigned by the Qualtrics software. Those item labels are also tags for identifying andselecting items in the R code used for statistical analysis, but otherwise the item label is notsignificant. The second column labeled “Rev.” is a 1

that the entire four plus month cooperative experience can be viewed as onelong training session. Experience-based learning happens through the execution of workpackages. The training program, therefore, provides the students with enough skills to start work.In the early stages of each co-op cycle, there is substantial Q&A between students and technicalleads to foster additional skill development. Students adopt engineering professional values. Students demonstrate that they areadopting engineering professional values that lead to a successful start in an engineering focusedindustry career through their increased participation in the AIDP both onsite at the AcademicDesign Center and offsite at their university.At the university level

It should be noted that high-Q, narrow-banddaughterboards are also available for ISM bands.The hardware architecture of the USRP includes a FPGA for digital up/down-conversion to/fromthe DAC/ADC for the IF signal to/from the RF daughterboard, respectively. This techniqueallows for the highest resolution ADC/DAC conversion between the baseband and IF signals.Shown below in Figure 2 is the generalized architecture of the USRP series. The FPGA can alsobe used to implement additional DSP functionality, however this may reduce FPGA digitalsample rate conversion performance.There
