Using Speakers as a Pedagogical Tool to Explain Phased Array Antenna Systems By Paul B. Crilly, Ph.D., Richard Hartnett, Ph.D. Department of Engineering, Electrical Engineering United States Coast Guard Academy New London, CT 06320 paul.b.crilly@uscga.eduKeywords: phased arrays, antenna arrays, antenna educationAbstract - This paper proposes to use an acoustic system as a pedagogical tool to explain RF antennaphased array systems. Our primary contribution is to use a configuration of n
waste casks.The effectiveness of this collaborative module in promoting cross-disciplinary learning wasassessed through an analysis of student responses to an anonymous survey. The results show thatthe module was effective in (a) teaching students the fundamental principles of diffusion, (b)fostering peer-to-peer teaching and learning, and (c) emphasizing the importance of teamworkand problem-solving across disciplines. The results also indicate that students developed abroader view regarding the applicability of their knowledge beyond their own disciplinaryboundaries. Given its universality, this materials-focused teaching module has the potential toserve as an effective model to foster interdisciplinary teaching and learning between

for the lesson. From the learning goals, a fewlearning objectives (A, B, C), represented as blue squares, are developed. The learning objectivesare mapped to different levels of Bloom’s taxonomy. Depending on the complexity of thesimulation tool, learning objectives up to the “Analyze” and “Synthesize” levels can be achieved.In the figure, the three learning objectives A, B, and C map to the levels “Apply” and“Understand”.Activities are created to help the student achieve each learning objective, and are represented asyellow triangles. Again, the letters A, B, and C are used to show the mapping of specificactivities with their corresponding learning objectives and their levels of Bloom’s taxonomy.These activities can be simulation-based

In this work, the optimizationalgorithm for design team selection includes an objective that maximizes the diversity of theMBTI characteristics of the team, while incentivizing the selection of a leader (or leaders) oneach team. A leader is considered to be either: a) A single student with an MBTI personality type that includes EN (Extroverted INtuitor), corresponding to a leadership score of 1; or b) Two students, each with an MBTI personality type that includes IN (Introverted INtuitor) and EF (Extroverted Feeler), corresponding to a leadership score of 0.1 and 0.9, respectively.An EN personality is generally creative, social, and logical, and capable of seeing “the bigpicture” 11– all traits that make strong

For example, Student A selectedthe competency “Is an Effective Listener” as the improvement category for Student B, and thenprovided the following statement. “Having more time to work with team members.”This written statement does not match the selected competency, as it is not relevant to listeningskills. This set was considered miscategorized and was reassigned into the correct competency:“Is Effective in Time Management.” We coded the seventeen (17) qualitative feedback competencies into three skillconstructs: teamwork, professionalism, and core performance based on the underlying focus ofthe competency and the ways in which it contributes to student

A month after his arrival at NASA, the last Apollo mission, Apollo 17, was launched. Obviously, that was exciting, but in terms of his career, the commencement of the Space Shuttle Program in November 1972 was to have far more impact. As a result, David was able to begin his career working on what he says was the most interesting and
