Some details onexperiments 3 and 4 are now given. Students build a first order lowpass filter [11] as shown inFigure 1. The component values are R1 = R2 = 1000 ohms and C = 0.47 microfarads. This resultsin a cutoff frequency of 338.63 Hz. The transfer function T(s) (Laplace transform domain) isderived along with an expression for the magnitude of the frequency response.

In 1970, Billy Koenpublished the first Engineering PSI journal article in ASEE’s Engineering Education. Over thenext 9 years, Engineering Education published 23 additional PSI journal articles and notes,again trailing off into a handful of papers during the 1980’s. Similar patterns can be found inother engineering education journals such as IEEE Transactions on Education, and ChemicalEngineering Education.The PSI literature presents an overwhelmingly positive picture of a transformational teachingmethod. And yet the attention of educators faded in a few short years. Bits and pieces of thisenigma can be teased from the literature

We would naturally be interested in how much worth would be accumulated at the end.If the growth rate was fixed and known, then the calculation of the future worth would bestraightforward. However, the authors feel that it is important to let the students be aware that inthe real world there are many investment possibilities where the growth rate is variable from yearto year.Suppose that the investment vehicle chosen was an S&P 500 index fund. The annual returnsfrom 1954 till 1993 given by Bernstein indicate that the arithmetic average annual return was13.1% and the overall equivalent annual return over the entire 40 years was 11.75%1. However,the individual annual returns can vary from –26.5% to 52.6 %. This

They are required to calculate a linefitting sample variance for the manufacturers calibration and determine if their results meet theaccuracy specification. Next they fit a line to their data and calculate a line fitting sample variancewhich they also compare to the manufacturers calibration curve. The final step is to performanother linear regression in the differential pressure data range that corresponds to a pitot probevelocity of 2- 9 m/s and calculate a line fitting sample variance for the fit. They combine this withthe resolution uncertainty of the micro-manometer and calculate the resultant uncertainty invelocity measurements in the range 2 to 9 m/s. Uncertainty
