. At this point students know, for instance, that no Brewster’sangle exists for perpendicular polarization.We are now eminently qualified to take the plunge into the venerable waveguides. An extensivedevelopment of rectangular waveguides is followed by a perfunctory but adequate analysis ofcircular waveguides and the coaxial cable. Maxwell’s equations are depicted in all their gloryand gory detail. A second pass of striplines and even and odd mode analysis of coupledtransmission lines rounds this off nicely. We now take a stab at passive devices. This includes,but is not limited to, S-matrix formulation and design of power dividers and couplers, couplingcoefficient in terms of even and odd mode characteristic impedances, and Q of cavity

The output will follow the input as long as it is high. However, when theclock is low, there will be no change in the next state of Q.

During the remaining five weeks of the term, they use thematerial presented during the first half of the course to solve the problem of designing, building,and testing a mechatronics device that will win a competitive game (this is the “problem”). Theconditions and rules are clearly posed by the course instructors and are the same for all sections.A Q&A web site allows the students to ask questions about the contest and the questions andanswers are then shared with all the students (one faculty member is assigned the task of
