First, a careful distinction is made between powersignal-to-noise ratio, S/N, and the energy signal-to-noise ratio, Eb/No commonly encountered forplots of bit error rate (BER). The theoretical plots are actually in terms of Eb/No, although thevalues of S/N and Eb/No are approximately equal for the signaling in this experiment. Secondly,the observation of eye diagrams with various levels of noise is done in this BER experimentrather than as a separate experiment. Another modification was to have the students observe thesignal that has a pulse at each sampling time (called
Customer (VoC) analysis was performed by interviewing the Six Sigma team andNSDs asking key questions12. From the VoC information a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses,Opportunities, Threats) analysis was developed that provided information that was helpful inmatching the organization’s resources and capability to the competitive environment in which itoperates. The SWOT analysis created from the VoC analysis conducted during this project ispresented in table 1.

as “teaching as research”, the Wendt Commons staff will draw on keyprinciples that advocate for change in the traditional model for classroom instruction. Ratherthan providing an exhaustive review of the literature, the following presents a summary of thekey concepts on which our service model is based.Smith, et al., in their review of classroom-based pedagogies of engagement, point out thatlearning outcomes depend more on students’ approach to learning and faculty delivery ofmaterial rather than the content itself11. Drawing on research from the past 100+ years, theauthors note that active-learning approaches have been developed and injected into engineeringclassrooms since the 1940’s – yet there has been very little actual change in the

Finally in section 5, a short discussion, conclusion andimplications of the results are presented.2. Theoretical framework and object of study2.1 Variation theoryAs described briefly in the introduction, most students do not change their conceptions ofmechanics concepts, i.e. they do not change their ways of seeing the world using force andmotion concepts from a naive to Newtonian understanding, even after one or more universitylevel course(s) in mechanics. Hence, teaching and

Existing models of university-company collaboration so as to introduce an atypical university-company collaboration in which the partnering company is a start-up which owns a potentially potent m-outreach technology. 2. Definitions of m-learning in order to better understand the unique educational potential for engineers of the m-outreach tool upon which this university-company collaboration rests. 3.

Project ResultsThe overall quality of the students‟ design projects was more than satisfactory. Students showedsignificant innovation and built a wide variety of designs, ranging from parabolic dishes, aconverted projection television utilizing the television‟s large Fresnel lens, a parabolic troughcomplete with rotisserie, and several simpler ovens built from various materials, includingcardboard boxes, mini-refrigerators, streetlights, toolboxes, and various other scavenged items.A wide variety of insulation materials were utilized, including shredded newspaper, carpeting,plastic bottles, Styrofoam, commercial spray foams, commercial fiberglass insulation, andscavenged clothes and blankets. In addition to the basic egg, many students made more
