Students learn about resistors andcapacitors, parallel and series configurations, Ohm’s Law, circuit analysis, and ACsignals. They also explore the systems-level perspective by designing the camera systemto achieve mission goals while meeting size, weight, and power constraints, as well asdesigning for survivability in extreme

In CBAM aconcern is “any thought or feeling that affects evaluation or planning of curricula materials6.”Similarly to Levels of Use, concerns typically progress through the corresponding Stages ofConcern as instructors’ use of the innovation develops.
