to answer questions pertaining to course content when called upon individually by theinstructor.With the advent of Twitter (a Web 2.0 social networking “chat” or “texting” service), its ubiquitous use, and theburgeoning “Bring Your Own Device” (BYOD) movement afoot in schools, we argue for harnessing the technologyas a vehicle for enhancing teaching and learning. Maintaining a persistent Twitter “back-channel” in a class canprovide the instructor with a metacognitive “narrative view” of the audience mind-set. The back-channel then allowsstudents to elaborate on course content, exchange ideas in real-time, and queue up questions for the instructor,particularly in large lectures where airtime for Q&A is limited.Advocating that students

engineering majors would take MEEN 221 as their main staticsengineering course. Starting in the Fall 2015 term, the Mechanical Engineering Departmentdeveloped a new Statics course exclusively for MEEN students, MEEN 225. This new course wasdesigned to better prepare students for subsequent MEEN curriculum. Topics covered are verysimilar, however MEEN 225 uses group projects in addition to homework and major exams forassessment. The students must also attend a 3-hour recitation every week in MEEN 225.Since the Fall 2015 semester when the divergence of the MEEN 221 and MEEN 225 coursesbegan, the department has seen a much higher percentages of students earn a grade of a D, an F,or Q-drop in MEEN 221 creating higher DFQ rates.

In electronic courses and laboratories students and engineers go through a complete design of BJTamplifiers. An essential parameter of BJT is the large signal forward current ratio Beta (13). This parameter isfound mathematically by going through the specific transistor circuit and model or by using the characteristiccurves of transistors as seen on a curve tracer. A student also goes through design of a sound biasing circuit tooperate the BJT at a certain Q point.
