The exit survey, shown in Figure 6, specifically addressed thestudents’ experience with the simulation programs used in the course. Students were told thattheir data would not be reviewed until the final grades were submitted and were advised toprovide honest responses to the questions.Name: _____________Q1.

the instructor/TA relationship with a contract. Examples ofcontracts are presented.1. IntroductionAlthough virtually unknown in liberal-arts colleges, teaching assistants1 (TAs) are a fixture ofmost engineering programs, where class sizes are large and the subject matter is technologicallycomplex. Usually, teaching assistants are assigned to instructors to assist with a particular coursesection. Sometimes TAs are paid hourly, but more often, they are on a monthly stipend for tenor twenty hours’ work per week. It is difficult for a beginning instructor to know how to makeeffective use of that time until (s)he has taught a class several times.Much has been written about teaching assistants at the ASEE Annual Conference [1–6] andelsewhere [7–9

This paper intends to familiarize the reader with simulation software, inparticular, with the Electronic Workbench for Windows version 4.0.Introduction: We will first explain the commands, and the method of drawing an electric circuit on the EWB 4.0 screen. Then,we will describe the Component Icon groups, and the Instrument Icons. Five examples will show the convenienceand the speed of Electric and Electronic circuit simulations. In the first example we will discuss the use of afunction generator, oscilloscope, multimeter, ammeters, and voltmeters to supply and display AC and DC signals.The second example will be a two-stage amplifier with a voltage gain of two.

The U.S. Department ofLabor statistics reveal that 20% more engineers are needed over the next decade2 and that Engineering education hadits “peak” of student majors in the early 1980’s with over 450,000 students entering into some form of engineeringor technology program. But since that time, the nation has experienced a 25% drop in students majoring in a fieldrelated to engineering. Included in this downward trend, diversity continues to be a struggle as well. As of to date,consider the statistic that of the four million students graduating from high school each year, only two percent willearn an engineering degree, and only one percent of

Additionally, an important logistical element of the activity centered on the timingof the mock career fair in coordination with the actual career fairs on campus. Students werethen able to reflect on their experiences in the classroom, establish conclusions, and try out whatthey learned and refine their pitch during the actual career fair the following day(s).
