Extra point: Voted best design by the class (optional).The goals for this design challenge were to 1. learn to use a laser cutter, a relatively simple machining tool 2. learn to define and demonstrate function of an artifact 3. learn to measure functional performance using statistical tools Page 22.1596.4 4. learn to work within specific constraints (amount of material and shapes of basic building blocks

In both schemes, pass band insertion losses of less than 0.2dB and stop band rejections ofgreater than 50dB are easily obtained using both techniques. The students then use an HP-8510BAutomatic Network Analyzer to measure the S-parameters of their final prototype and comparewith the original set of specifications. Figure 2 shows examples of two 3rd order commensurateline filters using both techniques. Page 22.1190.3Figure 2: Examples of student-designed nominal

causes frustration for students is moving easily between verbal, symbolic, andgraphical representations. This represents a major challenge to students, especially in theirphysics classes. A quick look at a typical physics books used at TAMU14 reveals that almost allthe problems are presented verbally, although pictures are used on occasion. This is also the casewith optimization problems in calculus, which are often used as applications of the derivative.Often, students do not have any major difficulty in carrying out the mathematical manipulations.Rather, they struggle to convert the verbal description into a mathematical description. Studentsare unable to answer questions such as: 1. What is(are) the variable(s) of interest? 2
