started off with researching this. • During testing, my team member and I ended up with a smoking capacitor in the circuit, which at the time, I did not know why it happened. Doing some research over the following weekend, I educated myself more on capacitors and discovered that there is a third type of capacitors, and that, like electrolytic capacitors, tantalum capacitors are polarized. I believe this to be the most likely reason behind our smoking capacitor. Afterward, the tantalum capacitors were replaced with electrolytic ones, being careful to observe the polarity. • We learned the importance of double-checking the dimensions and tolerances to verify that everything will fit together correctly.

goal of increasing retention in mind. Both programs have provided strong evidence insupport of “capturing” engineering students during their first two years by infusing elements ofthe discipline as early as possible into the undergraduate curriculum and thus minting theiridentity as engineers when they are freshmen. STEPUP extends this concept further byproviding a strong community of support of underrepresented students throughout their entirestay in the university and, as a result, aiding them in learning how to break down barriers ofculture that undeniably still exist for them.References[1] National Science Foundation.

If this split is attempted to bring inapplications, then considerable effort and expertise to bridge that gap is needed [11]. If this is not executedcorrectly, the result could leave students struggling leading to unproductive learning environments [12,13]. One topic within structural knowledge ripe for additional development is PT. Why PT?
