students often make errors in connections evenfor a simple logic circuit.The first course in the sequence introduces design entry using Schematic Capture. The studentscan relate to the logic circuit as learned in the classroom using traditional logic symbols andBoolean algebra principles. This is followed by some functional simulation practice to verify thebasic design. The final step is then performed by downloading the programming file onto thetarget FPGA device. In the next phase, the Very High Speed Hardware Description Language(VHDL) design styles are introduced. The students are given a taste of the three approaches towriting Architecture Declaration, namely: (a) Data-flow Approach (b) Structural Approach and(c) Behavioral Approach. With

The articles were individually evaluated and subjected to avalidity analysis composed of the following criteria (a) the credibility of the author(s) andinstitution(s) where the research was performed along with a robustness and methodology thatconforms to best practices, (b) whether the publisher of the article employs the peer review Page 14.1251.3process, (c
senior project.- Decoding ADS-B signals for aircraft tracking. In this term paper the student mostly went into the details of the communication protocol Mode Select Beacon System for transmitting/receiving ADS-B (Automatic Dependent Surveillance-Broadcast) signals. As hardware component a NESDR SmarTee XTR SDR was chosen. The student considers to further use a RTL_SDR along with a quadcopter drone to test the receiving of signals at various altitudes for his senior project.- Handheld radio range extension. Students working on this project used a BaoFeng UV-5R two-way handheld amateur radio. They designed a counterpoise to transform the monopole antenna into a dipole antenna for the device.

. The faults could be short connection, open circuit, or hidden resistor in the network. Students need to measure and analyze the circuit box, identify each fault. This is a popular lab because students can apply their knowledge about series, parallel, and series-parallel circuits in arealistic scenario, and this lab helps students develop problem-solving skills. However, during thepandemic, instructors and students did not have access to these home-made circuit boxes. Wedeveloped an alternative way to practice troubleshooting lab based on Multisim simulation. Asshown in Figure 2 (b) and (c), a circuit schematic and some expected faulty measurements aregiven to students. Students need to build the circuit in Multisim and analyze one or

At the end of theclass, the students were asked to sign a “pledge to follow the UT’s code of conduct and as anengineer, the code of ethics of engineers”.During the same lecture, the students were presented with a case study, the well-knownVolkswagen Emission Scandal. The students were separated into groups of four, asked to discussthe case within their groups, and afterwards participate in a classroom debate. In the end, theywere asked to identify whose fault it was, by selecting one of the four possible answers: a) VWengineers, b) VW Executives, c) VW CEO, and d) all of the above. Seventy-six

Two transducers, where one of them is used as a transmitter, and the other one is used as a receiver (In this experiment, the reflector is replaced by the second transducer)Initially, transducers are installed at about 200 mm apart and aligned. The received signal iscollected and saved as an Excel file in the computer. Then, the distance between transducers isincreased by moving one of the transducers with 50 mm increments to three different positionsusing UTwin Software. At each of these positions, the data is again collected and saved in thecomputer. The results obtained from these positions are later averaged.

The students desire to have an on-line version of the coursewas specifically expressed for the course that could be offered during one of the summer TrackA or Track B sessions.To further enhance and make the curriculum model more flexible, the authors developed an on-line version of the EM course for currently enrolled in Michigan Tech students and industryrepresentatives looking to improve their knowledge in the subject. The on-line EM course wasoffered in Track A of Summer 2012 and consisted of the on-line learning modulus, on-linequizzes and exams, and intense laboratories. Only three
