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

Toba also stated that engineeringwas viewed negatively as a profession by the young people of the day and to change thisperception, engineering needed to focus on social issues. In one of her presentations at ASEEconference and ECEDHA meeting, Leah H. Jamieson, past president of IEEE, presented dataabout the public perceptions of engineering which showed that engineering is viewed as aprofession that creates economic growth but is not sensitive to social, environmental, andquality of life issues.

Students at Cornell College are heavily involved in artistic andathletic activities. The students involved in this project had recently taken the engineering circuitscourse and have a musical knowledge background. The technical goal of the project was toconstruct a gesture-controlled piano that could recognize the distance from an object to the sensorand translate it into musical notes. The idea came from an open-source project designed by AndyGrove. The students built upon the open-source project and expand its capabilities. They addednew features to the initial

Engineering EducationIt may have been a mistake to score everyone independently. Competition among groupmembers for the highest peer and instructor rating was sometimes evident. Occasionally one ofthem would really shine while his or her team mates struggled. Felder and Brent suggests thatpromoting “positive interdependence” is the solution to this. By giving everyone on the team thesame score, the stronger ones are encouraged to help the weak ones. If a person thinks he canlook better if everyone else performs poorly, there is little incentive to lift the others up to ahigher level. 7It is also important to keep in mind that this was a third semester class. Giving first semesterstudents this much autonomy may not be as successful. They have spent
