analysis courses for electrical engineering students and electricalengineering technology students.I. Introduction:Operational amplifiers with negative feedback have three modes of operation. The non-invertingamplifier, the inverting amplifier and the voltage follower. The voltage follower can beconsidered a special case of the non-inverting amplifier, but it will be considered separately inthis paper, as it is a commonly used buffer circuit that the students need to closely understand.The gain for the different amplifiers can be derived using the negative feedback configuration.The main idea of the negative feedback is to reduce the potential difference between theinverting and the non-inverting amplifier inputs to obtain a voltage at the output

These observations are supported by evidencein the literature that suggests that engineering students taking an introductory materials sciencecourse often have similar misconceptions about how molecular-scale processes fundamentallydiffer from observable, macroscopic causal behavior we experience in our daily lives2.The Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) commissioned a team ofresearchers at the Penn State Center for the Study of Higher Education to assess the impact

Session 1665 Freedom, Constraint and Control in Multivariable Calculus Andrew Grossfield College of AeronauticsAbstractCertainly, everyone interested in technology should possess an understanding of the models ofdeterministic, continuous multivariable control. The study of multivariable calculus can beviewed as a natural extension of the unfortunately named "single variable" calculus. Ordinary"single variable" calculus is the study of equations in two variables, F(x, y) = 0. Equations intwo variables provide mechanisms for studying: a) continuous curves

There is growing interest in project-based learning (PBL), makerspaces and other relativelyopen-ended learning environments that afford many entry points and pathways into and throughengineering. Though often focused on engineering design and digital fabrication, these spacesoften support a range of activities and technologies, from laser cutting and 3D printing, toelectronics and e-textiles, to carpentry, sewing, painting and digital media, and so have thepotential to attract students who may not have yet identified an interest in engineering.Unlike more traditional curriculum, open-ended makerspaces elicit many sticking points andmoments of uncertainty which can serve as rich contexts for conceptual development anddisciplinary practice
