We specifically chose XilinxISE 10.1 as the 32 bit version includes the graphical tool shown in Figure 2 that generates thetest bench files needed to perform simulation. In using the tool, input values are assigned simplyby pointing at the corresponding waveform and then clicking the mouse. Unfortunately, thisfeature is absent in the 64 bit version as

Our students are quick to tell usthat what they view as “theory for theory’s sake” does not hold much interest for them.Real-time digital signal processors, for example the popular C6x series from Texas Instruments,can easily generate algorithm-based signals and system implementations of devices such as filters,transmitters, receivers, and so forth,6, 12–15 but there is another category of interesting signals thatinstead need to be recorded prior to a demonstration.

Finally, we analyze student actions within the game itself to show that the PING system helps them complete content sections faster and with fewer attempts.1. IntroductionWith the advent of new methods and approaches in virtual education, automated systems, andonline learning, there is a need for general-purpose approaches to help automate studenteducation. These new approaches can serve not to replace traditional education, but to augment itthrough automated student assistance, easier classroom operation for instructors, and bettersupport for under-performing students [1].

From examining student-run practices across technical theater,acting, directing, and organizational management, I find that the practices of identity negotiation,performance, and flexible democratic decision-making, situated in an alternative technical-socialspace, are sociotechnical practices with a queer inflection important to the site. These can helpengineering educators in three ways: 1) by simply providing a description of some meaningfulsociotechnical experiences of queer students; 2) by beginning to bridge the “diversity-oriented”and “technically oriented” streams in engineering education research through considering howqueer STEM students are innovative technologists in their own

takemore engineering courses because it is their main interest and will help prepare them for theirplanned career. Requiring such students to take technical electives is not an issue, as these arecourses that the students want to take. But many students do not fit into this category. Startingin 2021, the Mechanical Engineering Department at the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee hasallowed students to take free electives rather than technical electives offered by the program [6].As the results in Table 1 show, this led to a very large decrease in the number of studentsregistering for the technical electives offered by the department. Instead, students generally (butnot exclusively) were choosing to take simpler courses from other disciplines to

The effectiveness of the first session was evaluated by conducting pre-and post-tests and by collecting students’ feedback. Based on the results, changes wereimplemented for the second session. This paper presents the evolution of the project and thechallenges encountered.IntroductionTechnical standards are vital for providing quality, safe, and sustainable products and have agreat impact on the global market.

Three of theteachers thought it was about right for the EET session. One thought there was too muchtechnical material, but did not leave a comment to explain (question 10).

canprovide a sense of community and provide help for students beyond just the instructor. However,peer tutors may not always be fully utilized. Many peer tutors have office hours where studentscan informally drop by and get help, or students are asked to formally join a peer tutoringprogram [1]. These programs are voluntary and may be missing the students who need it themost.ICPT may improve access to peer tutors for all students. ICPT involves peer tutors attendingclass sessions where students solve in-class assignments. Because it is during class, all studentsinteract with the peer tutors.

Clicking on a term in either network highlights thatterm along with its links and term associates in both networks. Dragging any term in eithernetwork moves the same term in the other network.

A parallel curriculum addressing these non-scientific/technical skills isusually a strong contributor towards these goals. Another tool generally more directly controlledby science/engineering faculty is using courses in the discipline, especially laboratory courses, toemphasize writing components and/or presentation skills. Lab reports can serve as a very goodtool to sharpen writing skills or, more extensively, the skills needed to produce a coherent, wellthought, well-written scientific paper or technical report.A more comprehensive approach to different paths and philosophies for the teaching of writingskills and its balance can be found in the
