The potential to create something meaningful, relevant and fun inspired and motivatedthem. The students chose the topic, which in most cases had personal relevance to them (i.e.helping a loved one or themselves or cool toy with which they would want to play) resulting inhigh intrinsic and attainment value. The activities also took on a high utility value as they beganto identify markets for their invention and the potential to make money at little to no personalcost to them.

As faculty, we are alwaysinvestigating better ways to introduce concepts, present correct approaches to problem solving,and then assess student mastery and performance against learning outcomes. It is very valuablein an educational setting, to not only present material and have students practice solutions, andlater be tested on those concepts, but to present information in alternate or unique ways so thatthe students can have the best

Students discover that for CMOS the transition region between logic high andlogic low is extremely narrow which causes a gate to be sensitive to noise present in a slowlychanging input. Given such sensitivity, this paper presents a feedback test circuit useful forinvestigating the transition region. Also, given that some CPLDs include Schmitt triggercapability, our students investigate how such capability reduces sensitivity to noise. Students alsolearn about propagation delay and static loading such as that with an LED.In performing our research we assessed our students' learning experience with our test benchtutorial content, and assessed how device characteristics should be included in

In doing so, educators can have an impact on students by movingthem toward becoming buoyant believers. For instance, one might imagine a STEM advisor orfaculty member utilizing the ‘buoyant believers’ framework as a tool to help place strugglingBlack STEM students who appear to lack confidence or resilience in the typology.

Introduction Learning styles of many students are reshaping [1], [2]. Due to the increase in preference forvisual media, and the fast growing use of information technology, instructors may notice that it isharder for students to understand difficult concepts when using traditional textbook-basedexplanations. Such a case is noted by Tyler DeWitt, a chemistry high school teacher and Ph.D.student at MIT [3]. He noticed that his students missed key concepts although they wereattending well planned lectures and completing assignments. To remedy this, he engagedstudents with a different style of teaching
