) Hardware Description language: This is a script describing the logic design. The code may have 3 main different styles: (a) Structural design: This style is mainly a word description of the schematic capture. It handles each primitive component or building block as a module defined by its name, inputs and outputs. Top modules are constructed by connecting smaller modules using wires. and and1 (in1, in2, out0) (b) Switching functions: Wires and outputs are assigned a switching function using inputs or other wires. assign wire1 = inputA & inputB; (c) Behavioral design: The behavioral design describes the function of the module using if statements, case statements … etc

They argued that good PBL problems should be(a) open-ended and ill-defined; (b) of challenging complexity, engaging, and adapted to priorlearning of students; and (c) realistic. Pedagogical introduction of problem-based learning is credited to the medicalcommunity (Savin-Baden & Howell, 2004), and has been recognized for “inducing revolutionaryundergraduate medical reform” (Maudsley, (1999). With a seemingly parallel objective over amulti-year period, the National Science Foundation has continued to appeal to researchers torevolutionize engineering education (National Science Foundation, 2014, 2018).

course Most Poll Everywhere questions are randomly pop up during the lecture to split thecontinuous course into several discrete segments for effective learning. The design question viaPoll Everywhere for this course falls into three categories. First, pre-screening of the students‘background; second, questions are designed to access the students’ understanding of a conceptthat is recently introduced in class; third, other questions related to student feedback of using thisPRS. Example of the polling question include: (a) There are only two amplifier classes, A and B.[True/False] (b) what is true about the breakdown voltage in a Zener diode? [Multiple choices] (c)If the ambient temperature rises to 75℃，for every ℃, the max power

MOBILITY DETECTION The movement detection in a sensitive viewing area of the PIR sensor can reveal a sinusoidalwave pattern. A slow varying DC level is always centered around the half analog reference voltage.This random voltage variation is translating the local ambient temperature environment. Also, thehuman walking is typically about 5 Kmph. This is resulting into less than a few Hz frequency inthe output waveform. Therefore, the system is designed to avert high frequency noise more

The studentresponses for 2017 (left) and 2018 (right) implementations of the course are shown in Figure 1.Generally, students reflected positively on the experience within the course. It is shown inFigure 1 that students enjoyed the different writing styles, with only one disagreement acrossboth implementations to prompt D. Students also well supported the idea that the assignmentsimproved their learning within the course based on the responses to prompt C. Results were lessencouraging for prompts A and B, which address the hypothesis that students would bechallenged and must think more about the projects to complete the assignments.

One such skill required by a segment of industry is proficiency in computer numerical control (CNC) programming. Based on feedback from Northern Michigan University’s Engineering Technology Department’s Industrial Advisory Board, the department implemented a CNC concentration for the Mechanical Engineering Technology bachelor’s degree program in 2010.

Introduction When a semiconductor device operates, it consumes energy and generates heat. The powerconsumption is a key issue in today’s digital system design. In a CMOS transistor, the dynamicpower is related to the charging and discharging of the load capacitance at the gate output and isproportional to the switching frequency. The power consumption of a large digital system,which contains millions or even

The surface finish of the part feels very smooth tothe touch. The stripped pattern as can be seen in Figure 8-B, is due to the small diameter of theend mill and a large stepover.
