Electrical andComputer Engineering curriculum. Traditional VLSI Design courses focus primarily ondigital integrated circuit design. Analog integrated circuit design is usually covered in aseparate course, often at the graduate level. The problem with this approach is that theday of the purely digital chip is passing – most new chip designs include both analog anddigital components. For example, it is now common for digital chips to integrate digital-analog (D/A) and analog-digital (A/D) converters to interface with the analog “outsideworld”. Moreover, large “mixed signal” communications and consumer electronics“system on a chip” designs combine large blocks of both digital and analog circuits.Finally, shrinking transistor geometries require that

Although a primative version of the air flowtunnel was available for use after the first year of construction, the final configuration of thisproject took approximately 5 years to complete. Each succeeding class added features and madeimprovements to the facility.The purpose of this facility is to allow students to perform experiments that teach them how tomeasure velocity, pressure, temperature and turbulence of a flowing air stream. Secondly, thestudents have the opportunity to observe air flow patterns in straight and convergent ducts as wellas elbow turns. Other Senior Project experiments are planned for this facility to study externalflow patterns, forces and turbulence levels. The facility
electric drive subjects were taught, and howmuch time was allocated to each subject, were governed by a variety of logistical factors, such aslaboratory equipment and resources, research assistant knowledge of material, and the time framefor this project.

techniques inV&V is important in two ways: it gives the student information that is vital in today’s world andit is in accordance with ABET.3. Modeling and Simulation (M&S)Modeling and Simulation (M&S) allows engineers to further study the effects of a real-worldevent. Modeling encompasses researching the event and formalizing a representation; simulationuses this representation to create an implementation that spans time over the given event. In thisway, a complex system can be modeled and different scenarios can be simulated withoutaffecting the actual system. By using modeling and simulation, important data can be obtainedthat would be a basis for making managerial or technical decisions [12]. Typical examples ofmodeling and

Session 1465 Using Maple to Learn Mathematica Shirley Pomeranz Department of Mathematical and Computer Sciences The University of Tulsa1. IntroductionThis paper describes the use of the Computer Algebra System (CAS), Maple (Waterloo Maple,Inc.), to assist in the learning of CAS, Mathematica (Wolfram Research, Inc.) in a numericalmethods course. What is novel here is that Maple was not used in a standard way. Instead, it wasused in the following context. The students had (almost) all used Mathematica in previouscourses
afundamental concept that we should ensure students have grasped by graduation and is probablybest addressed in physics courses.Uncertainty in Quantum MechanicsRelated to the engineering student’s misconception that the interaction between measuringsystem and system under measurement is a quantum phenomenon is that this interaction is theexplanation of Heisenberg’s uncertainty principle in quantum mechanics. While these studentshave typically not taken a physics course in quantum mechanics, this misconception is quite sad.The actual description of quantum mechanical uncertainty is a consequence of momentum andposition being related through a Fourier Transform. This is something that engineering studentscan easily understand since they have studied

.26,27 This is an interesting finding as many wouldagree that the most creative ideas progress over time once sufficient thought and modificationhas been given to them.Many think of the activity of brainstorming as an initial stage in the creative process. Thisactivity is very important in conducting research, yet few students, undergraduate or graduate,get a chance to participate in these activities. Brainstorming can be very effective although whenperformed in a group, team dynamics play an important role.
