This program targets trailblazing undergraduate studentswhich include individuals from first-generation or low-income backgrounds, those with limited re-search experience, and those facing systemic barriers. Through the adoption of a cohort-basedmodel, students gain scientific knowledge and critical professional skills in a hands-on, collabo-rative, and fun environment. In 2022, we hosted over 100 undergraduate, graduate, and ReserveOfficers’ Training Corps (ROTC) students.CIRCUIT

After that the laws of nature(e.g. conservation of energy, conservation of mass, Fourier’s Law of Conduction, etc.) are usedto connect the desired result to variables that can be measured directly or specified.The deductive approach was used extensively in a graduate level course on heat transfer in thesummer of 2005 and is being used in the second semester of thermodynamics during the springsemester of 2006. The feedback from students has been positive. One graduate student stated inhis course evaluation that the deductive approach is a wonderful tool for engineers.

Introduction  Although DSP algorithms may be implemented on any powerful processor, specialized digital signal processing hardware enables the greatest speed and efficiency.4 Digital signal processors designed specifically for operations common in DSP have special features that permit them to accomplish in real time what other processors cannot achieve. Real time means that outputs keep pace with the collection of input samples during actual operations. For some operations such as filtering, this means a new output sample can be produced as each new input sample is received. For others such as FFTs, the output information can be produced

movement became jerky. Using Java, this problem was solved by simply renderinga needle dynamically, similar to a clock’s second hand. The class responsible for thisanimation runs on a different execution thread. Upon receiving a message, such as “turnneedle 40 degrees,” the thread keeps erasing and redrawing the needle until it reachesits final angle. The erase and redraw (called double buffering) is fast enough to providesmooth animation. This technique also reduces required storage for external media (e.g.Quicktime Movies).Interaction ModesThere are three modes of interaction with the simulator: control mode, exercise modeand information mode. The control mode is the primary way students interact with thesimulator. Figure 3 depicts a screen in
