We required a small laboratory footprint due to space limitations. Furthermore due tobudget concerns we wished to exploit conventional bench equipment as much as possible,allowing us to leverage both space and the instruments used for our core 2nd and 3rd-year courses.Also, we wished to introduce switching regulator concepts at a level that is approachable

With this in mind, we sought out an automated method that isnot based on peer evaluations to help the instructors determine if an adjustment to an individual’sgrade was necessary.MethodsSamplingThe grade adjustment method presented in this paper was evaluated using an introductoryfreshmen engineering course (ENGR 100) at the University of Nevada, Reno.

combine teaching with research areessential to the improvement of undergraduate education [15, 16, 17, 18]. With this in mind, wenow introduce the model that governs and sustains the teaching and research mission of ouruniversity laboratory. The synergistic interaction between teaching and research, their driversand end-results is also illustrated. These drivers can be classified into those of resource needs(e.g. qualified personnel) and technology related issues. Resource needs can be further classifiedinto three types – (1) design and application engineers, (2) radar system integrators andmanagers, and (3) research and development scientists. These needs are met by BS, MS, andPhD graduates, respectively. Thus our undergraduate and graduate
