sense1. Later, Spearman in 1905 developed his two-factor theory of intelligence. Hedivided intelligence into general intelligence ‘G’ and several group specific factors ‘S’. Simonand Binet developed the first spatial ability test around the same time Spearman proposed histheory. It was known as the “Scales of Intelligence”2.Spatial ability research started gaining importance at the onset of World War I in 1918, when theUnited States Army conducted large scale testing procedures in order to enroll militarypersonnel. These tests were called as Examination Alpha and Examination Beta1. ExaminationAlpha was administered to literate personnel and consisted primarily of verbal material.Examination Beta was the battery of tests that included non

’s two-sided of view of SoC design may have some drawbacks: Giventhe number of comments expressing frustration over certain aspects of the design, there may be arisk that the course discouraged some students from pursuing further study or employment inSoC work. If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future. I believe, however, that as I gain more experience teaching this course andaccumulate more sample projects and Zybo tutorials, students’ perceived experience willimprove.

Students could attempt the quiz multiple times.Students also were given the outline of the problem(s) they would solve in class. The outlineframed the problem(s) but did not provide any data or details.

The consortium then sends a large groupof students to their partner institution(s) reducing the overall cost per student as well as ensuringthe integrity of the educational experience.

To generate time domainsignals (message signal and carrier signal) a sequence (an array) of time values has to begenerated. By using the “colon operator” (:) this can be done in a single line of coding in Matlab.An array of time values starting at zero and ending at with an increment of is created bytyping 0: : to create the message signal and the carrier signal. Here, the time increment ischosen to be the reciprocal value of the sampling rate , so that the time domain signals contain5000 samples per second. Time is arbitrarily chosen to be 0.2 s.
