A smart structure is astructure that is capable of sensing, control and actuation. These systems are able to withstandthese hazards by reacting to the environment, just like a biological body. National efforts areunderway to develop and build the next generation of smart structures. In the academic world,researchers are developing, for example, new sensing schemes (structural health monitoring) [1-2], smart dampers and corresponding controllers (structural control) [3-4], and evaluatinginnovative experimental testing methods (real-time hybrid testing) [5-6]. In the industrial world,investigators emphasize on the practical

This pedagogical approach not only enhances theoverall effectiveness of learning, but also aligns with the evolving demands of the contemporaryjob market.While literature exists on integrating technology into linear algebra classes[4], [6], [7], [8], [9],[10], [11], [12], most studies have focused on isolated aspects, used technology partially, orlacked a specific focus on engineering students. Additionally, thorough investigations intostudents' perceptions have been lacking.

However, in the cyber defense competitions there isalready a sense of team work and community because there is a common enemy -- the attackers.While students find it difficult to collaborate on configurations of their competition network,they already have the camaraderie of playing against the attackers and seeing how the attackersinfiltrated the other teams systems.As the IT-Adventures program expanded to include three venues, the authors revisited thequestion of how to build a sense of community in the two new venues of game designprogramming and robotics.

The Signal Processing Worksystem(SPW) will be used to implement a block diagram-based ADC simulation [1]. The basicapproach is to use one of the perfect ADC models within SPW and then add the clock-jittercomponent to the simulation. An analysis of an ADC model will be conducted to determine theeffect of
