tasks (e.g. homework assignments, laboratory experiments, or design projects) underconditions that meet five criteria: positive interdependence, individual accountability, face-to-face interaction, appropriate use of collaborative skills, and regular self-assessment of teamfunctioning. Many studies have shown that when correctly implemented, cooperative learningimproves information acquisition and retention, higher-level thinking skills, interpersonal andcommunication skills, and self-confidence (Johnson, Johnson, and Smith, 1998).Holding each student individually accountable for work done in a team setting is a cornerstoneof cooperative learning. One way to meet this goal is to adjust team project grades for all teammembers according to how

The observations made on this paper are based on our multiple years ofexperience in teaching the topics as well as several informal discussions with professors in otheruniversities. It appears that some students miss the basic understanding that a controller (whetheranalog or digital) represents a transfer function (in the S-Domain or the Z-Domain) or adifferential/difference equation so that, together with the dynamics of the plant and the rest of thesystem, it allows for desired closed loop behavior.This problem can be partially alleviated during laboratory experiments when students notice thata controller’s transfer function in the S-Domain can be practically implemented using hardware,which includes op

. Thespeaking courses scored somewhat better than the writing courses (question 8 vs. 3) while theEET courses were lower for oral than for written (questions 9 and 10 vs. 4 and 5). This was notunexpected, as the required courses in the curriculum only had a requirement for presentationsduring senior design (some ECET electives have oral presentation requirements). Partly as aresponse to this, the Curriculum Committee combined two, 2-hr courses (trouble shooting, ECET276, and sophomore projects, ECET 296) into a new 4-hr sophomore project course (ECET 297),during the final semester of the A.S. degree program. It was decided that ECET 297 would havean oral communication requirement. The first group students that took 297 will graduate nextyear, so we

By building complete working devices in lab(often with a small amount of open-ended design), students more readily see the connectionbetween the theoretical work they are doing and its practical application in the “real world”.Course evaluation results, surveys of student interest in EE, statistics of final grades, andperformance in subsequent classes all indicate that this approach does in fact increase motivationfor non-majors and pique interest in those who might otherwise not pursue EE as a major.As we redesigned ENGR 40 to create a new course, ENGR 40M (‘M’ for “making”), we alsodrew heavy inspiration from CS 106A, the introductory computer science class at Stanford.

Information on social vulnerability should be combined with information on aneighborhood’s exposure to risk factors to identify areas that may need additional assistance before,during, and after a disaster. For example, a neighborhood along the Mississippi Gulf Coast with a largeelderly population would be at greater risk of devastation from hurricanes than a similar neighborhoodfurther inland (Bakkensen, et. al., 2017).To provide an example, research and experience have demonstrated that underserved populations sufferdisproportionality during disasters.

The placement was based solely on thescores from the Accuplacer.Discussion and ConclusionsThe RAMP program was developed to address an issue many engineering schools contend with:engineering programs are designed with the expectation that students take Calculus I and CalculusII in their freshman year. Unfortunately, at Tennessee Tech University, historical trends show thatabout 50% of the incoming first-time freshman students are placed in College Algebra or Pre-Calculus. Additionally, about 50% of the students placed in Calculus I do not pass the course. Thisleads to an adversarial effect of lower first-year retention in the program at 63

Therefore, a lot of timeusing simulation tools is a good alternative to examine and visualize the realistic problems.However, the available simulation software may require vast technical proficiency, whichsometime impedes the inclination of students towards this area of study.In this paper we introduce a ray-tracing simulation tool that can be beneficial in teaching wavepropagation and wireless communication.
