analysis courses for electrical engineering students and electricalengineering technology students.I. Introduction:Operational amplifiers with negative feedback have three modes of operation. The non-invertingamplifier, the inverting amplifier and the voltage follower. The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output

Representative items include “I understand the integrative concepts ofscience, technology, engineering, and mathematics that are relevant to life and work,”“I agree that the ways of thinking and practices of STEM must be connected with theskills of the 21st century (learning, innovation, media and technology, life and work skills),” “I can apply concepts and practices of STEM to seek knowledge,” etc. The scale was scored on a 7-point scale from 1 to 7. 4.2 Results 4.2.1 Descriptive Statistics and Correlation Analysis

makerclub. There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice

These students include African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, PacificIslanders, those with special learning needs, and women. For instance, fourth grade AfricanAmerican students scored on average 24 points lower than their White counterparts, and 35points lower than their Asian American counterparts in 2015. In eighth grade, the gaps are evenlarger: 32 and 47 points, respectively. In science, African American fourth graders scored 33points lower than White fourth graders, and 36 points lower than Asian American fourth graders(NAEP, 2015).Strikingly, literature also demonstrates that the problem of underrepresented male
