microprocessor or microcontroller. The computer exists in a digital world that isbased on a discrete system where the amplitude and time are quantized. That is, a discretesystem does not allow all values for all times. Rather it allows a limited number of values atdiscrete instances in time.The interfaces between the analog and discrete world is the analog-to-digital (A/D) converter forinputs and the digital-to-analog (D/A) converter for outputs. The A/D converter converts thephenomena that we observe into information that the computer can understand, and the D/Aconverter converts the information that the computer develops into analog data that we can use toobserve, control or manipulate a specific phenomena.We can and often use complex mathematical

Function provides a basis from which to start a qualitative analysis and, again, reinforcing gaining a deeper understanding of how the system works. Students must fully understand the system being analyzed in order to properly develop a mathematical model, and determine if the response, evaluated under certain conditions, makes sense or not. Function plays a fundamental role in these decisions and hones the students’ quantitative analysis skills for complex systems.Scaffolding Approach Used in StudyTo further improve Madison Engineering design curriculum, we implemented and evaluated theAlgorithmic Approach for teaching

electronic system rather than just prototype it on a breadboard orsimulate it in software students learn through experience that errors can be costly in terms ofmoney and time. Students learn that errors or bad decisions tend to propagate through a projectand need to be corrected early in the development phase. On average, student teams go throughthree iterations of project fabrication before they achieve an acceptable result. A second value tothe fabrication project is that most students will work with or manage people responsible forfabrication. Experiencing the process first-hand provides valuable insight into the productionside of engineering even if it is performed overseas.Project Two: Using Design Skills to Build SubsystemsThe second project

. Because of theinteractive nature of the labs, it has been determined that more than sixteen students per labsection detracts from the lab experience. Equally as important, the new applied electromagnetics course has had an impact on therest of the curriculum, especially in telecommunications. Students are now obviously moreprepared for material presented in upper level courses and professors have been able to coveradvanced material more deeply. Future work includes the development of a follow-on class inRF electronics where students will design and build a radio transceiver.References 1.

Although development of certaincompetencies is implied in order to succeed in the course, those competencies are obscured andare a challenge to be identified. In order to achieve transparency of competencies, CLOOs shouldbe rephrased. The most important reason is that they can become formal part of curriculum onlyif they are developed and assessed in a planned and systematic procedure. For that reason it isimportant to rephrase CLOOs so they contain unequivocal definition of competencies and howthey relate to the topics and concepts relevant to the course.
