Active Learning for Busy Skeptics Michael Prince Bucknell UniversityActive learning has consistently been shown to be more effective than traditionalinstruction for promoting learning, motivation and student retention. Despite thisoverwhelming research support, instructors have a number of significant concerns aboutadopting active learning techniques in their own classes. Common concerns includeworries about preparation time, content coverage and student resistance to new teachingmethods. This session is designed to introduce quick and simple active learningtechniques that are effective, require little preparation or class time, and which

Convolution for Engineers, Technologists, Scientists, and Other on-PhDs Wm. Hugh Blanton, East Tennessee State University ABSTRACT One of the more important and one of the least understood principles in electronic engineering technology is convolution. The convolution integral provides a convenient mathematical equation that expresses the output of an linear time invariant system based on an arbitrary signal, x(t), and the system's impulse response, h(t). Because the interpretation takes some effort, most instructors take advantage of the linear transformation into the frequency domain where convolution becomes simply multiplication, eg. Laplace and Fourier transforms
