For example, the assessment of teamwork skills in the academic setting might take place through a variety of projects, activities, and labs scattered throughout the curriculum. (Not every course is conducive to assessment of teamwork!) However, these are often very discrete events and the faculty member may have limited access to observe the student interactions. In contrast, an employer can work closely with a student on a full-time basis over an extended period of time. Since most industry settings rely heavily on teamwork skills, we believe that the supervisor is much

, whilesuperficially similar in topics covered to Electronic Instrumentation, is a very different course.First, because there are no formal college level prerequisites (only a typical high school scienceand math experience is assumed), circuit analysis emphasizes algebraic methods and preparationfor future circuits and electronics courses. An even more important distinction is the emphasis ona more complete and integrated Experimental Centric Pedagogy (ECP) than has been the case inElectronic Instrumentation (EI). Essentially every concept is first introduced through anexperiment (experiment first) which requires that a substantial fraction of time spent in and outof class is dedicated to enhancing the students skills as electronics experimenters.

First, a multiplexer and transistor (TIP120 NPN in Fig. 6) wasused to extract an additional output from the LegoTM NXT controller to allow for the X, Y, and Zaxes as well as the cake icing dispenser to be synchronized.

For example, a team of propulsion engineers in an enginecompany may coordinate and communicate with a team of propulsion integration engineers in anairframe company, and those integration engineers are simultaneously coordinating with aircraftperformance engineers and the flight test team.
