It was developed from an electivelecture-only course that this individual gave in 2000; it was found that particle technology is arich subject for class-demonstrations and the experiments to be described grew out of these. Theapparatus for the experiments was constructed with readily available components and simplebench-top or hand tools; no machine-shop work was required.

distributed elements (such as microstriptransmission lines) or with pre-packaged gain blocks. The most straightforward way, and the waythe RF industry uses, of measuring these one and two-port networks is using S-parameters. Tomake the measurements, a two-port vector network analyzer (VNA) can be employed to makethese S-parameter measurements directly, from which other network parameters could be derivedif necessary. Until recently, VNAs were very expensive for frequencies in the GHz range so thatmakes measurements problematic for larger classes where students would have to wait to gainaccess to the instrument. Recently and with the advances in single-chip components, VNA pricesfor hobbyists have come down dramatically and now a full two-port VNA for

Organizations recognize the importance for employees tounderstand how to work effectively with others, but also express that new employees do notbring adequate teaming skills to the workplace (S. Adams & Ruiz, 2004; Pascarella &Terenzini, 2005). Despite calls to promote teamwork as “an indispensable quality forengineering”(Lingard & Barkataki, 2011) engineering schools have been generally slow indeveloping pedagogies that successfully promote collaborative behaviors. Several initiativeshave been done in engineering education -like project-based learning and team-basedlearning to try to promote teamwork skills (Felder & Brent, 2009; Prince, 2004). However

There is a lack of research-based instrument(s)in the literature that identify individuals’ fitness for systems thinking. This paper introduces thedevelopment of a systems thinking instrument that identifies individuals capacity for systemsthinking and determines their inclination in treating complex system problems across domains.This instrument can also be used to distinguish where a university curriculum (or a corporatetraining program) excels at producing systems thinkers and where it may be lacking.IntroductionIn 2016, the World

Figure 4 gives an example of this data, the trend-line creating a very clear divide on highinsolation days, between higher winds (red- above 2.65m/s) and lower winds (blue- less than 2.65m/s).This didnot hold up for some other months, as seen in Figure 5.

During the 1950's, teaching material was characterized by multitudes of design rules fordifferent practice scenarios, i.e. rules of thumb for particular engineering problems. It soon became evident that"cookbook" engineering was insufficient to meet the needs accompanying the rapid growths in new technologyand the ever-broadening scope of engineering problems. The emphasis of classroom education shifted in the1960's toward "engineering science," or the fundamentals of physical phenomena. This constituted an effort toinstill in students the necessary foundations for

thisalternate design process rest on powerful algorithms, developed by Simons and Harden to solve differential equations. [SIM088]These algorithms can be adapted to greatly reduce the number of computations required to derive a bilinear transformed digital H(z)model from a prototype H(s) analog model. This reduction in processing makes it feasible to base the optimal digital filter design onan analog prototype and arrive at solutions based on the changing coefficients of the analog filter. The end result is an optimallydesigned digital filter as well as an analog filter that could be claimed to be optimal in some sense. In order to verify and converge on a proper filter design, the frequency response of the current filter in the design process must

These disciplines can either be leading in nature, viz., they createthe demand in the market (push) for new products and/or services, or can adopt the changes causedby the varying market conditions (pull). Regardless of the reason, both science and engineering havethe responsibility to be compatible
