In this paper is the extended of ourlaboratory 4 in Linear Circuit course at the U.S. Coast Guard Academy.The current paper presents some of the successful design and compensation techniques from onelaboratory in a junior-level Linear Circuits class that reinforces student learning about finitegain-bandwidth product limitations. Students learn graphical technique in the classroom thatpredicts the impact of Gain-Bandwidth Product limitation of a µA741op-amp.In this lab, students are asked to design two Sallen-Key second order low pass sections, using aµA741op-amp, in order to meet two specific resonant frequencies. In their first design( f o = 72.3 kHz and Q = 2) , students typically fall short of the desired resonant frequency by15% or

. 2) Draw the normal probability plots to show whether the grades are from the normal distribution. If the sample is normal, the plot will be approximately linear. Other distribution types will introduce strong nonlinearity in the plots. 3) Draw the quantile-quantile (Q-Q) plot to show whether the two grade samples come from the same unknown distribution. If the two samples do come from the same unknown distribution, the plot will be linear. 4) Use the Shapiro-Wilk test to see if the two grade samples are both from the normal distribution family. If both samples are from the normal distribution family, the F-test and the t-test are further used to see if the

Freidman’s ANOVA is a non-parametric test of whether more than two related groups differ that could compensate for non-normality. However, there are only two treatment groups in this study, so it cannot be performed if the assumption of normality is violated. Page 23.731.9INCORPORATING ENGINEERING IN MIDDLE SCHOOL SCIENCE 9 3.

the optical receiver. To evaluate the performance of the system, expensive equipment such as psudo-random binary sequence (PRBS) generator and bit-error-rate (BER) tester are required. When these equipment are not readily available, simulation software often provides an alternative way of studying the fiber optic communication systems. In this course, OptiPerformer was selected to study the performance of fiber optic communication systems 4. This category includes two activities: a. OptiPerformer #1: The objective of this activity is to study the bit-error-rate (BER)and Q-factor. The BER is a key performance parameter of the optical communication system.It is defined as the probability of a bit being incorrectly identified by

posting publicly the “self-recorded” student questions onto YouTube, and theUGA instructor would upload his responses via the UGA-CMS as just another Camtasiaclassroom recording. It was very interesting to note that the students were very much relaxedand let their personalities shine through these “public” YouTube videos while they weremuch more reserved during the “synchronous” session with the UGA instructor. So theYouTube approach worked, but the Q&A sessions had become “asynchronous” and “on-demand”. In Fall 2012, the NTU course was scheduled such that it started at 2 AM local UStime, thus we had no choice but to use the YouTube approach for that semester, and mostdefinitely for all future collaborations.B) Students Learning Assessment
