This paperattempts to bridge this gap by presenting a basic yet comprehensive project that can be used todemonstrate amplitude modulation and demodulation theory. It is specifically designed to stir theinterest of junior or senior level electronics minded electrical engineering students. In thisproject, a double sideband large carrier waveform is produced using a simple switchingmodulator circuit. The resulting amplitude modulation (AM) waveform is then demodulatedusing an envelope detector circuit. The proposed project requests that students perform a circuitsimulation as well as an actual circuit implementation. The circuit behavior is studied via bothanalysis using software tools and

The onlycourse where most engineering students get any information related to personal finance isengineering economy. We as instructors need to be mindful of that fact.Engineers tend to have a lower percentage of their college costs paid with borrowing than peoplewith other majors, and they are better positioned to pay off their loans. Even so, manyengineering students and recent graduates can be described by the following statistics. Studentloan debt is now over $1 trillion, and is the second largest form of consumer debt

With that in mind and with the objective of helpingstudents to achieve preparedness for the workforce, the instructor assigns a semester-long projectwhere the students have to use all the engineering tools learned in class to design four pumpedpipeline systems in a hypothetical new plant facility.

Similar to her first semester, Brenda’s basic conceptions of ethicswere constrained by professional standards and established codes of practices.

Initial results indicate alevel of interest on the use of these techniques, and some suggestions have been presented as wellfor improvement of the materials used.
