distributed elements (such as microstriptransmission lines) or with pre-packaged gain blocks. The most straightforward way, and the waythe RF industry uses, of measuring these one and two-port networks is using S-parameters. Tomake the measurements, a two-port vector network analyzer (VNA) can be employed to makethese S-parameter measurements directly, from which other network parameters could be derivedif necessary. Until recently, VNAs were very expensive for frequencies in the GHz range so thatmakes measurements problematic for larger classes where students would have to wait to gainaccess to the instrument. Recently and with the advances in single-chip components, VNA pricesfor hobbyists have come down dramatically and now a full two-port VNA for

For building teams, the CATME tool was used to design a survey that would obtain responsesto the following questions from each student: 1. Sub-discipline within civil and environmental engineering that they specialize in (undergrad- uate students at the University of Illinois are required to specialize in a primary area of study as well as a secondary area, while graduate students are required to specialize in one area) 2.

Equations 1 and2 show the enzymatic reactions that commonly take place in bioreactors (e.g., bacteria andmammalian cells). Enzymatic reactions also take place in our daily lives. For example, sucrose(referred to as S, the substrate) in food is converted to glucose and fructose (referred to as P, theproduct) in the enzymatic reactions catalyzed by the enzyme sucrase (referred to as E, the enzyme)in the following figure. In another example, Amylase (i.e., E) in the saliva of humans catalyzes thehydrolysis of starch (i.e., S) into sugars such as maltose and maltotriose (i.e., P). The enzyme isone type

At the end of lecture class sessions, the finalhalf hour is dedicated to a Critical Thinking Exercise (CTE) related to the main topic(s) of thelecture. During the CTE, students form small groups to solve a complex problem. The CTE is oftenposed as a free-form design challenge or a debate; however, another CTE structure is underdevelopment in the form of an open-ended engineering challenge (similar to a hack-a-thon) thatrequires student groups to recruit a more technical skill set to develop a potential solution. TheCTE has often been cited in end of the semester surveys as a key learning element and encouragesa changed way of

that we have only four heavy atoms (i.e.,carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and sulfur) and four positions in which they can be located. Thepurpose of the circuit is to identify one atom for each of these four positions with the highestprobability to form a molecule with a good fit for binding to the protein. Our four heavy atoms(C, N, O, and S) can inhabit four positions (44) which can be encoded as 256 uniquecombinations of molecules. Rather than checking all 256 possibilities one-by-one as a classicalcomputer would require, we leverage entanglement and superposition to check them all at onetime. As is true in our advanced quantum circuit, hydrogen is not encoded. This is becausehydrogen (H) is a light atom. Rather, we assume the presence of

In addition, numerous first year students expressed the valid observation that aprogram that is mandatory for graduation should be credit-bearing. Therefore, in fall 2017, sixnew courses, each worth 0.5 credits, were created for the Career Compass program. These threecredits must be successfully completed (e.g. earning a Satisfactory) for a student to graduate.Students must earn at least 90 out of 100 points to earn an S. An optional fourth year ofprogramming has been developed, so it will be possible for students to earn 1 additional electivecredit during their senior year.

These andother topics will be explored as we delve into the new (yet old) environment of online learningduring Covid.BackgroundThroughout the early 2000’s, education over the internet was debated. Some felt it would be atransformative power that would equalize education across time, space, gender, income andnation. Others felt that nothing could take the place of in-person education and anything elsewas inferior. Some universities jumped on the MOOC bandwagon (Massive Open OnlineCourses). Others saw no merit in offering massive courses for little or no credit to multitudes ofpeople for free.There were also many interpretations of online learning throughout the early 2000’s.
