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

In our experience, studentsbenefit from developing these ties. By providing examinations in a “story” format, anexamination’s problems were placed within a context. That is to say that students could relate thetheoretical problem solution with the scenario in which the problem was presented.Engineering students are often visual learners and problem solvers. These learners prefer andintellectually respond to problems that they can visualize. Story problems let them perform thisvisualization.

One ideal solution would be a problem-based learninggroup that is facilitated by instructors in Engineering or writing, and embedded in thedepartment’s activities (e.g., researching, presenting, and publishing).
