course was necessitated by the fact that the Electricaland Computer Engineering Department in which the concept is being deployed has the resourcesto offer but a single course in microwave engineering. Thus it is expected that programs whichseek to provide students a rather broad sampling of microwave circuitry and systems in a singlecourse may benefit from the chosen approach.IntroductionStudents enrolled in the Electrical and Computer Engineering Department at Montana StateUniversity chose from a variety of upper division discipline-specific courses to satisfy their“professional electives” requirements. One of the upper division electives, taken both by senior-level undergraduates and graduate students, is EE 433 – Planar Microwave Circuits

. Finally, we pilot the forcebalance in an undergraduate mechanical engineering lab setting and find that students are able toexplore the setup, understand the load cell functionality, and use the system to measure drag on asphere. The force balance enables students to gain hands-on learning experience related to bothfluid mechanics and statics, and our user study shows that the force balance is durable throughclassroom use. The low cost, robustness, and high adaptability of the system makes it suitable forincorporating in multiple labs or for allowing student project teams to utilize the system in theirown experiments.1 IntroductionAccess to a wind tunnel enables students to gain real world experience with fluid dynamicsconcepts.

Beyond the work mentioned in that article,there have been a few attempts to predict student outcomes specifically for cybersecurity trainingand exercises [2, 3, 4].
