In our case we chose fiberglass wool, which meets the criteria and is obtainableat a local hardware store. 4 Simulations: To help with calculations and guide a more self taught process a MATLABscript was written to explain each parameter and run the calculations for the theoretical design.This allowed for students to see where the numbers were coming from instead of google-ing adesign calculator to do the work for them. For this project we set the frequency to 435MHz. Thisfrequency is a usable HAM frequency that allows us to openly test our antenna.

. Teaching Physics is always fun, butteaching the same course content in little less than half the time in is hard for the instructors,while learning the concepts and solving problems in an accelerated pace is challenging forstudents. To reverse this trend, and to make learning as interesting as possible, I restructured thecourse with weekly in class team activities and a final team project to work outside the class.One of the objectives of this approach is to help students develop the habit of helping others tounderstand the basic engineering physics concepts in a give and take manner.This restructuring was tested in a small class environment and for a summer accelerated course.In this report we will present detailed information about the team’s

These courses are inherently interdisciplinary. Students in the engineering andcomputer science fields step into physics and chemistry labs to solve science problems, ofteninvoking their own relevant expertise. In this paper we start by discussing the common themesand outcomes of the course. We then discuss three particular projects that were conducted withengineering students and focus on how the undergraduate research experience enhanced theiralready rigorous engineering curriculum.KeywordsUndergraduate research, Physics Education, Laboratory Instruction

His current research is focused on reliable, robust, and economic microgrids, alternative energy systems, power electronics, graphene, and biofuels. Microgrids have a wide variety of commercial and humanitarian applications. Humanitarian microgrid projects require non-traditional design approaches since their operation requires minimal human intervention and maintenance. Furthermore, users typically become dependent on the reliable operation of these systems hence premature failures can have serious negative consequences.Dr
