Overall architecture of the test IC.Initial SolutionThe first attempt to get very fast signal speeds was to use the logic gates delays to build signalsfaster than the clock – essentially creating signals using glitches in the logical circuit (Figure 2).While this method works, it is inflexible and challenging to implement, since any changes to thesignal requires the creation of a new custom circuit.Proceedings of the 2012 Midwest Section Conference of the American Society for Engineering Education Figure 2.

applications courses inantennas, microwave circuit design, remote sensing, radar, nonlinear and Fourier optics, and fiber optics.We have found that expressing basic electromagnetic principles in terms of differential forms as asupplement to vector analysis aids the students at all levels in understanding electromagnetic theory. The use of differential forms is widespread in the physics community, particularly in gravitation andrelativistic electrodynamics problems. Several researchers advocate the use of differential forms inelectrical engineering, among the most outspoken is Burke.The test of a mathematical formalism is shown in the applications. Although I have long been convincedof this, it was emphasized to me again when I decided to teach a
