Although the same material was covered by both instructors, onesection focused on solid modeling strategies during the first part of the course, followed by moretraditional topics of visualization skills, orthographic drawings and dimensioning, then assemblymodeling and assembly drawings (S-D). The second section covered visualization skills, multi-view drawings and dimensioning at the beginning of the course, followed by solid modelingmethods, then assemblies (D-S). Both sections used the same texts10,11 and completed the samelaboratory assignments.Students were asked to take the Sorby test9

, it is necessary to have 4 1-bit Full Adders.The Cn+1 bit from the previous adder is fed into the Cn input of the next adder. This supplies theproper carry from the previous bit addition. The first carry bit is tied to 0, since in performingaddition there is no previous carry. Performing subtraction between two binary numbers can be accomplished through the useof Full Adders. Since binary numbers can only be added together, it is necessary to invert theincoming Bn bits. By inverting these bits, 1’s Complement addition occurs. However, in orderfor the 1’s Complement addition to work correctly, it is necessary to let Cn = 1. For example

. However, instructors teaching analog electronic circuitscourses still devote considerable time explaining how to analyze feedback amplifiers becausemany practical aspects, such as the consideration loading effects, do not show up in other courses.This paper presents some examples that illustrate some aspects of feedback amplifier analysisrelated to the correct use of input and output impedances. It is the author´s experience that therelevant material normally found in undergraduate textbooks on microelectronics does notillustrate how to properly use these quantities. The objective of this paper is to provide educatorswith an additional tool to clarify these aspects of the subject.Overview of the Feedback MethodAn ideal feedback amplifier can be
