. At this point students know, for instance, that no Brewster’sangle exists for perpendicular polarization.We are now eminently qualified to take the plunge into the venerable waveguides. An extensivedevelopment of rectangular waveguides is followed by a perfunctory but adequate analysis ofcircular waveguides and the coaxial cable. Maxwell’s equations are depicted in all their gloryand gory detail. A second pass of striplines and even and odd mode analysis of coupledtransmission lines rounds this off nicely. We now take a stab at passive devices. This includes,but is not limited to, S-matrix formulation and design of power dividers and couplers, couplingcoefficient in terms of even and odd mode characteristic impedances, and Q of cavity

top joint indicates that the forces in PQ and RQ are equal and are 500 N. Thus,member PQ will develop a force equal to 5/3 (or 1.67) times 500 N (half of the vertical load on the truss), while themember P′Q′ will develop a force equal to 13/5 (or 2.6) times 500 N. Correspondingly, loads in the other membersof Truss B are also higher. Hence, B is the correct response.Level 5: Synthesis.

The bent rod example provides the case where thealternating bending stress will be multiplied by Kf and the alternating torsional stress will bemultiplied by Kft. As an aside, this example also provides justification for generally not usingKf or Kft as a strength reduction factor in the endurance strength calculation, since it is unclearhow Kf and Kft interact and what is the net Kf that should be utilized to reduce Se. Since thereis an alternating force present, the alternating stress must be multiplied by Kt as shown below inFigure 10. Fmax σmax Max Fmin

However, an interesting idea surfacedregarding the team status meetings with the instructor in which an interview Q&A style could beused to gather sufficient evidence.A pilot was conducted in spring 2010 involving the capstone for Electrical Engineering as wellas Computer Engineering majors. The face-to-face meetings with the teams provided anexcellent opportunity to evaluate the skill levels. The instructor reported that each teamemployed all 3 skills at one or more point(s) during the semester. The results are shown in Table5 for all 6 teams. Good performance was observed in 2-3 teams for each skill; however, the bestteams were not always the same. No team
