means of improving student performance.Scaffolding and Pattern RecognitionScaffolding is a documented pedagogical technique in which the teacher assists a learner in ac-complishing a task currently beyond the learner’s abilities, by reducing the degrees of freedomof the problem or by demonstrating partial solutions to the task at hand [26]. ML methods canbe used to identify which axes of a problem are best kept hidden for the student and which arebest utilized to teach a problem solving technique. Furthermore, one of the major tools for rein-forcement of learning is through pattern recognition. Completing repetition of the solution processhelps students retain the information, but it is not without fault. Specifically, students have a
wide bandwidth.Figure 2. Emitter follower with biasing current mirror as the assigned circuit for reliabilityassessment for the final team project. The proposed emitter follower circuit will follow the conventional configuration, where aPMOS current mirror will be used for biasing at base of the bipolar transistor. This relativelysimple and functional circuit has two voltage sources V1 (DC) and V2 (sinusoidal AC), adecoupling capacitor C2 on the input side, a load resistor R1, a biasing resistor R2, an NPN BJTQ1, and two PMOS transistors M1 and M2 for the current mirror. Additionally, the output voltageVout is at the emitter of Q1 as shown in Figure 2. Teams of three students (with at least one MEand one EE/CE) will be provided with
a co-inventor on 3 US patents related to control systems. Dr. McLauchlan is a member of ASEE and was the 2012-2014 Chair of the Ocean and Marine Engineering Division.
