. While this can sometimes be done during the actual class,what happens is that those who know what they are doing will tune out this 5 (or 20) minutediversion. Thus, the recitation provides “extra time” for those students who need it. Since youwon’t be covering any new material, you can easily digress into other areas (not course-related).The author has often used this “focused-group” to discuss, in an informal-setting, curricularissues, student concerns, etc. Such an endeavor often leaves students with the impression that Page 9.700.3“their opinion matters”. “Proceedings of the 2004 American Society for Engineering Education Annual

Because of the authors’ quantitative approach it hasbeen adopted by some engineering programs as well. We have taught from both texts and currentlyuse Plonsey and Barr. Both textbooks thoroughly address the teaching objectives above, althoughthey vary in their approach. A flow-chart highlighting how each texts presents these concepts is illustrated in Fig. 1. Plonseyand Barr take a historical approach, largely following the original papers and methodologies ofHodgkin and Huxley. They present HH’s original voltage clamp circuit and include the detailsof how Na+ and K+ currents were separated via choline

separate simulation must be run and the simulationmust account for every other point’s contribution and the field quantity. Typically, whencalculations are performed using these types of simulation packages, there are large numbers ofspatial and time data points and the geometrical design of the elements has great deal ofcomplexity. The program might not be able to handle the large number of unknowns, or it mighttake a long simulation run time to run each case of feed arrangement.Ideally, in design of an antenna array system, the design consists of two phases • Antenna element design • Array geometry and signal processing algorithm designIn design of the individual elements, with each variation in the design, the engineers can runseparate

This study discusses the assessment of metacognitive skills in engineering students byhaving the students participate in hands-on and virtual reality activities related to design andmanufacturing. The study is guided by two research questions: (1) do the proposed activities affectstudents’ metacognition in terms of monitoring, awareness, planning, self-checking, or strategyselection, and (2) are there other components of metacognition that are affected by the design andmanufacturing activities? The hypothesis is that the participation in the proposed activities willimprove problem-solving skills and metacognitive awareness of the
