To understand the mixedlogic approach, it is important to learn the transfer characteristic or voltage table for each gate.The voltage tables for the five basic gates are shown in Table 1 – L is used to represent lowvoltage and H high voltage and the functional symbols are used for the positive logicinterpretation.

Quarter of the sophomore year2).One of the problems caused by the new curriculum is that freshman students have to tackle withill-defined and open-ended problems. Most of freshman students at KIT have never had chanceto design and build anything, because the Japanese high school educational system emphasizesknowledge acquisition and memorization with little consideration for open-ended problemsolving. Therefore, an introductory design project, which is to be completed at the beginning ofEDI, has been introduced before tackling with an ill-defined and open-ended problem.The paper presents an overview and lessons learned from the introductory design project inEngineering Design Course, which may be illuminating to engineering educators.

It is extremely profound to the student toexperience the relatively loud tone, and then by moving just a few inches, the student observes thecomplete absence of the tone. Thus this experiment provides a sensory experience of the beamforming equation (i.e. sinc(x) function). The apparatus is relatively easy to construct and implementand the concepts learned can be applied to other areas of engineering such as beamforming, acousticsand other signal processing applications.
