I refer to this particularchallenge as humanizing the technical content of signals and systems.

To establish that thegraduates have learned the required knowledge and acquired the required skills,instructors turn to annual and long-term assessment processes.

This learning system is taught to all CIRC scholars and the major reason that moststudents in the program improve academically and are more efficient in their time spent learning.Another part of the 4.0 Plan that is very valuable to helping the students organize their life sothat they plan for adequate learning time is a detailed time management schedule. Students findthis system very helpful and many continue to use this system after they graduate. The“Guaranteed 4.0 Plan” is an excellent learning system and is considered to be a major reason

One class per week was dedicated to considering success ofhumanitarian engineering projects and the unfortunate frequency of failed – though well-intended – projects. Assignments forced the students to reflect upon positives and negatives andincorporate the best in their plans.

Rather than provide in-depth introductions to one or tworesources, the workshop would provide a high-level overview of a variety of resources. As first-year students were likely unfamiliar with the library, the workshop started with an introductionto the library as a physical space and the library website as a virtual space. Students learned howto use the library catalog to find books and e-books. They were also introduced to the library’sresearch subject guides, which provide relevant resources for individual subject areas. The bulkof the workshop featured
