Aspart of the engineering curriculum, students take an electronics course in the spring semester oftheir second year. The course introduces students to the behavior of circuits and elements whenvarying voltage sources are used. The frequency response of circuits is of particular interest. Thisprovides an opportunity to introduce the concept of automating data acquisition and analysis. Weare taking advantage of this opportunity.Program DescriptionThe Engineering Physics program (Program) is focused on robotics and automation. Thecurriculum consists of classes in

surveys.IntroductionThe past several years have seen a renewed enthusiasm for the development of new instructionalmaterials and approaches in introductory physics education at the college level1 . At the core ofthese efforts is a shift away from a traditional physics curriculum that emphasized textbookproblem-solving, descriptive knowledge, deductive reasoning and a top-down approach toinstruction. Physics education research has been instrumental in the move towards a student-oriented approach that recognizes that students learn better when they are actively engaged in thelearning process itself. In particular, the pioneering works of Arnold Arons and LillianMcDermott have provided an excellent framework for systematically modifying the traditionalmethod of

This “simplification” of some aspects of the design could give the students anopportunity to actually build and hand off the system, in addition to designing it, within the timeconstraints of an academic schedule. For example, they could design the system and constructportions throughout a semester-length independent study project, then spend a week or two on-site during the summer with a contractor installing the system and handing it off

understandany derivations regarding limits. A student who has just been introduced to the word, limit, issimply in no position to appreciate limits of difference quotients. The limit of the differencequotient is just a method of obtaining the value of the slope, not the derivative itself. There ismuch to be learned about curves with such an approach without belaboring the difficultiesinherent in limit processes. The integral of a positive piecewise monotonic function should bedefined as the area under the curve and again the limiting process should be viewed as just amethod of obtaining the value.All references to the concepts and perplexities of the 19th century Cauchy’s analysis should bepostponed until the series forms are confronted head on, and

). Oftentimes inschools, an attempt to focus on STEM can lead to actually ‘siloing’ science and math as separateentities. Teacher preparation, until most recently, did not include the integrated subjects ofSTEM, which was not only true at the 7-12 grade levels, but especially true at the elementaryand early childhood levels. The lack of effective teacher training for STEM content and theNGSS negatively impacts K-12 students as they lack positive engaging hands-on experiences inSTEM education that is very motivational. Prepare and Inspire [1] states that “we must inspire allstudents to learn STEM and, in the process, motivate them to pursue STEM careers.” There is adirect link between teachers’ self-efficacy in their ability to plan and facilitate

Specifically, the addition of in-class collaborative learning activitieswithout any out-of-class videos to offset instructional content necessitated a slight reduction inthe level of detail covered during lectures.
