The objective of this hands-on lecture/laboratory courses is tointroduce Engineering Technology students to fundamentals of DC and AC circuit analysis.Students will also be introduced to a set of experiments that support the principles learned duringthe lectures. Special attention is given to testing, maintenance, and troubleshooting of ACcircuits used in industrial applications. Another goal is to enhance the students

With regard to team situations in the classroom, most degree programs (teaching building en-gineering) are working to adopt more opportunities to develop team assignments, projects, andopportunities. These opportunities are often less than ideally constructed due to relatively few fac-ulty members being trained, or they have no similar industry experience necessary to guide studentteams. Such faculty often are unaware of the nuances that the teams must go through based onassignment structures (the major exception is faculty with significant industry experience) (­Hannahand Venkatachary 2010).

prime breeding ground for threshold concepts.48Considering the course's characteristics, Scott and Harlow49,50 postulated the existence of severalthreshold concepts within the experience: Thevenin's Theorem, dynamic resistance/linearapproximation, phasors (including reactive power), feedback, and dependent sources. Consideringthe assertion that phasors and reactive power are proposed threshold concepts, it is perhapssurprising to see the lack of focus in work on alternating current (AC); rather, Carstensen &Bernhard19 contend that authors are focused primarily on direct current (DC). Compared to anexisting Electronics Concept Inventory,51 the authors concluded that their identification of thethreshold concepts aligned well except for
