required electromagnetics course,Smith charts for understanding impedance transformation and matching are covered. Thismeasurement helps reinforce the use of the Smith chart as a data display tool by having thestudents identify the calibration standards provided in the instrumentation kit. These standardsare unmarked and so the students must identify which termination is a short, open and matchedtermination by observing the behavior on the chart. The students can them make a note of thestandard for future use in calibration.Impedance matching is a fundamental microwave engineering task, and this next exerciseprovides the student the chance to design, fabrication and measure an HF lumped elementmatching circuit. This laboratory reinforces the

four or five based on workload, but if enrollment increases, moregroups will need to be accommodated. While larger classes would present some challenges forinstruction in such a course, the Core Project model is scalable to larger classes sizes. Currently,each group is working on a shared single project site. With higher enrollment, multiple projectsites could be incorporated to facilitate more diverse final projects. Given the versatility of sitedevelopment projects, this is a feasible approach but may be limited by data availability.Section 1. Fundamentals and basic toolsIn the first section of the course, students learn about the setup and interface of ArcGIS Pro, aswell as concepts that are foundational to GIS analysis such as coordinate

between a movie’s director and writing staff.Game design is the process of determining the rules and experiences for the game. A rule mightallow a character being able to do a wall-jump: jump onto a vertical wall, pause, and then jumphigher–akin to an insect that can stick momentarily to a wall—a classic example of fakingphysics for fun. Some games have simple mechanics (actions that the player may do) whileothers are deeply complex (and note the connection to engineering mechanics). Making a gamemeans making a world with its own laws, and interestingly, many game programmers are oftencalled engineers and developers (as in software engineering/development), though not allimplement the physics set by the game designers.2.6 Game PhysicsThe

. Two groupsof students are presented with fundamentally the same problem. However, one group’s versionof the problem contains only the information necessary to solve the problem, while the othergroup’s version contains additional details in the form of further narrative description and afigure. Each student is asked to rate how well they can connect the problem to principles andmethods previously discussed in class and how confident they are that they can solve theproblem. Students then time themselves solving the problem.Analysis of student responses shows that students presented with even a low level of additionalproblem context will report decreased confidence in their ability to connect the problem to pastlearning and in their ability to
