-structuredinterviews with focus groups were conducted with 32 of the Junior and Senior level students.The focus group was intended to answer the following questions: a) What data is the instrumentcollecting? and b) What other information is important? The technique used was a “directedgroup discussion” where the primary investigator moderated organized discussions with thestudents (Salant & Dillman, 1994). In groups of eight to ten students, interviews were recordedand the data revealed information used to develop the final instrument.A final pilot study was completed to insure readability, understandability, and clarity. Theamount of time required for the students to complete the survey was also recorded for use inscheduling appointments for

Four of the research project examples are detailed asfollows: 1.

The program is also applied to respond to nature hazards and terrorist chemical emergencies. Students can work on it and use it as a tool to simulate the actual case and validate by the

Over the past five years the author has found that studentattitude towards the course and subsequent feedback to be most rewarding, and I was veryencouraged by the level of student involvement in the project. In addition, the effort expended inhardware construction and testing offered students an opportunity to gain a “broader technicalview” of the radio frequency communication process.Bibliography[1] Rutledge, David B., The Electronics of Ratio" Cambridge University, 1999[2] Burdick, W.

” (see Appendix A)and a laboratory component titled “Engineering Applications” (see Appendix B). The twocomponents were taught back-to-back on the same day, and the class met twice a week. Theadvantage of the back-to-back format was that students were able to apply immediately conceptscovered in lecture-recitation component. According to the students, they thought the formatgave them the opportunity to make the concepts real and less abstract, and secondly, it helpedthem to understand and retain better the topics covered in class. In the following sections, theauthors will describe the course content in module 1, 2, and 3. The contents of these modulescan be found in Appendix A and Appendix B.
