)Cooperative learning is a formalized active learning structure where students work together insmall groups to accomplish shared learning goals and to maximize their own and each otherslearning. The most common model of cooperative learning in engineering is that of Johnson,Johnson and Smith.(10) This model has five specific elements: mutual interdependence,individual accountability, face to face interaction, interpersonal and small group skills, andindividual assessment of group functioning.(10) Although different cooperative models exist (10,11) , the core element in all of these models is the emphasis on cooperative incentives rather thancompetition in the promotion of learning. Some researchers view cooperative and collaborativelearning as

Design thinking reflectsstudents’ ability to scope problems, explore options, develop solutions, test, and iterativelyoptimize products using their STEM skills1.

Theexperiment used a simple sub-fractional horsepower (Fischertechnik #32293: ~1.5 Watt)electric motor together with a unique small-scale dynamometer.

Broadly, we consider an eventsuccessful not just based on attendance, for that can vary greatly between small and large events,but also time and cost for developing these events. For low-investment programs, single-digitattendance is celebrated, especially in first iterations of events. For high-investment programs,success is measured relative to the work and cost of the program.The core mission of this work is to increase graduate students’ sense of belonging as part of thevibrant, large campus experience

An SDR that is used to receive wideband FM broadcast radio can berepurposed, almost instantly, to receive 64QAM or 8VSB, in order to receive digital television(DTV). In fact, modern SDRs can be programmed to handle virtually all of the processingrequired in the physical layer of a wireless network.The following simple example illustrates the ease with which a few lines of code and an SDRcan replace analog components in the demodulation of an AM signal.
