reflection characteristics (S21, S11) by performing simulations using Sonnet Lite.After verification, students were then asked to create printed circuit board (PCB) layouts for theirfilters using Autodesk EAGLE. Physical filter prototypes were manufactured in-house using anLPKF ProtoMat E34 PCB engraving machine. Students were then asked to solder SMAconnectors to their filters, measure the actual performance using a vector network analyzer(VNA), and compare their results to theoretical expectations. A discussion of learning objectives,grading criteria, a comparison of theoretical specifications vs. experimental results, anassessment of student learning outcomes, and recommendations for future improvements to thedesign project are
i. Adequacy of reference material 10. Support for you as an individual learner i. Individualized instruction 11. Course Summary i. Course reflection in open formatResults from these assessment tools for the overall class are presented after the technical portionis first discussed.Course Setup: Defining the ProblemThis 15-week ‘Engineering Experimentation’ course was divided into three modules. ModuleOne spanned the first three weeks and consisted of experimentation on foundational knowledgeexperiments, where students learned basic concepts about the measurement chain, uncertainty,technical writing, and presenting. These experiments are briefly described as follows: 1. Sump
