Although a number of models have been developed in this topic by many academics,developing “critical thinking skills” can be a long and arduous process. In particular, thedevelopment of higher education program level critical thinking skills require detailed courselevel planning, structured assignments, critical analysis of case studies, student centric learning,and guided design using tools such as simulation and gaming, communication exercises, andlaboratory experiments.

System configuration and data analysis methodsare discussed. Data generated using this method can be verified using traditional wavegauges, and used for a variety of student project or laboratory experiments.
