Laboratory with a sampling oscilloscope (optional) 8 Laboratory with a BERT (optional)ConclusionThe first four parts of this paper covered the basic types of jitter, its measurements, how themeasurements are displayed, and the tools used. The final section proposed where to integratevarious jitter and related topics into a four-year EET curriculum, by semester. Although there ismuch detail left to develop the actual curriculum materials, jitter analysis could be effectivelycovered in the first six semesters. Perhaps the toughest challenge, however, will be decidingwhat topics in a given curriculum are dated enough to drop in favor of the jitter analysis topics.1 Finding Sources of Jitter with Real-Time Jitter Analysis, Agilent

apparent that, inorder to meet the needs of local and regional employers, some topics that were normallycovered in BSEET communications courses had to be integrated in the existing AAScurriculum in New Jersey. In early 1995, the North Brunswick EET department proposedan associate-degree curriculum that would include such communications topics in itsfive-trimester EET program. Implemented started later that same year.II. Program development and considerationThe new curriculum was designed to provide the AAS graduates some exposure to bothAM/FM and digital/data communications. The original curriculum was concentrated onfundamentals of analog and digital electronics with an emphasis on microprocessors andtheir applications, and included both calculus

therequired discipline-specific courses at the research site. Data analysis was guided by the theoryof the pedagogic device developed by the British sociologist Basil Bernstein. Bernstein notes thatdisciplinary knowledge is recontextualized into the curriculum through the pedagogic discourse.The framing element of recontextualization focuses on the process through which thedisciplinary knowledge is transformed into the disciplinary curriculum. Framing involves bothregulative discourse (related to social order and relation between actors) and instructionaldiscourse (related to the content and delivery). Data were analyzed using Bernstein’s concept ofinstructional discourse to highlight the selection, sequencing, and pacing of the course content,and

In time, one could postulate that a combined five-year curriculum would provide the opportunity for all graduates of software engineering master’sprograms to have a thorough grounding in the engineering sciences (thermodynamics,mechanics, electronic circuit theory, etc.) – a change from the current situation. Such graduatesmight well be better prepared to address systems engineering problems or software applicationsthat need to communicate intimately with physical portions of systems.

For example, the Not Applicable theme refers to the occasions whenextracurricular activities are outside of faculty‟s immediate duties or they just have not had achance to engage in them. Lack of Incentives refers to the lack of rewards for engaging inextracurricular LTS.
