They had apositive attitude in every aspect of learning about both baseball and the software developmentprocess. When they visited the Yogi Berra museum to view baseball artifacts and other hands-onexhibits, they listened to retired baseball players describing the atmosphere of night gamesduring the 1930’s.

deals with the concept of sampling andreconstruction. Although in the previous experiments students actually sampled andreconstructed signals, they had not been exposed to underlying foundations. Thus, thelecture portion of this lab introduces the student to the concept of Nyquist SamplingCriterion. The knowledge that they have gained in determining the frequency content of asignal is tied to the choice of sampling frequency; sampling frequency, f s , must begreater than twice the maximum frequency content, f max , of the signal. This will ensurethat the signal can be reconstructed without the occurrence of aliasing. Aliasing is adistortion in a signal that is caused when higher frequency components of the signaloverlap with the lower frequency

collected anonymously using the radio-frequency ARSduring lectures. With respect to engagement and increasing the value of the lectures, one of the objectives ofusing the ARS was to keep the students awake and active during lectures. Hence, students wereasked to respond to a series of questions, during the lecture, within groups of 3-4 students.Typical questions utilized were of a form similar to: “Within your group, what do you think willbe the most important area(s) of contribution in engineering in your lifetime?”, “How do we gettotal work, W, from the previous equation for dW?”, or “For your project, are you going to need s2to solve ∫ dW = ∫ (|| F ( x) ||)(cos(θ ( x))d || x || ?”.

Significant resource demands,particularly for proctors, has discouraged the widespread use of traditional mastery

Of the 20-30 high schools in the region,there were four PLTW schools, so he started there. His first contact at each school was generallywith the principal, then with the PLTW teacher(s).He built a recruiting presentation, and started visiting the schools. At one school, the largest inthe region, the PLTW instructors set up large assemblies of students (PLTW classes, physicsclasses, etc.) so he could speak to hundreds of students in a single visit. At the other schools henormally spoke to one or two PLTW classes.Although it has a recruiting component, the presentation itself
