The Courseware hasevolved with each offering of the course, incrementally improving each time, similar to theconcepts articulated in [16]. The Courseware resides in an instructor-only repository, and thecontent is incrementally released to students, via a second repository for students that is usedonly for the duration of the semester term. Each week (a) the solution to the previous week’sassignment, (b) new textbook content for the current week, and (c) the current week’sassignment are incrementally released to the students.

The project is an integrated health monitoring system. The health monitor determinesand displays a user’s heart rate and measures a user’s reaction time (the latter of which can beuseful for diagnosing diseases like Parkinson’s disease). A complete, digital implementation of thehealth monitor will incorporate topics including combinational logic, common combinationalbuilding blocks, finite state machines, counters, adders, shift registers, and hierarchical design.On the first day of the course, students are shown a functioning health monitor and

Based on ourassessment and evaluation of student ability, we decided to add a design of experiment componentearlier in the AU lab sequence with the RF Systems lab.Table 1 shows the new course timeline for the RF Systems Lab. The first part of the course, throughweek 8, consists of studying and assembling the different components that make up a single-stationAM radio as shown in Figure 1. The free to use circuit simulation tool LTspice is used in the studyof each functional block prior to bread-boarding, usually as part of a pre-lab assignment.

to overcome. Theself-confidence in one's capabilities leads individuals to set challenging goals and havecommitment to overcome them. Bandura has identified four sources that contribute to enhancingthe perception of self-efficacy: (a) enactive mastery experiences (actual performances); (b)observation of others (vicarious experiences); (c) social persuasion, both verbal and otherwise; and(d) ‘physiological and affective states from which people partly judge their capableness, strength,and vulnerability to dysfunction’ [9-10].An important aspect of self-efficacy is that it relates to judgment of one's capabilities in a particulardomain [11]. This leads to the conclusion that high self-efficacy in one domain is not necessarilyrelated to high

If the number of columns of the first matrix is not equalto the number of rows of the second matrix, we cannot multiply those two matrices.In multiplication of two matrices, if the order of the two matrices change, if still the dimensionsallow multiplication, the result of multiplication will be different than the previous multiplicationunlike the multiplication of two scalars. b) How to write a set of equations with multiple unknowns in the form of matrices.If we have a set of q linear equations with q unknowns, the equations
