in the School are technical professionals(mostly engineers), it is kind of in our nature to try to optimize everything we do and try tosee whether what we do makes economic sense. Inevitably, we are looking for economicfeasibility, break-even points, and a benefit/cost ratio that is feasible and defendable also inthe case of assessment activities that the School is involved in. I usually get the feeling thatone reason why I see some resistance to assessment undertakings from some of my colleaguesis probably due to the fact that they are not sure whether there is also an economicjustification to all this even though we do not much of a choice.So far assessment work has progressed with the premise that this is a good thing to do, andthat we

During that time the department has also expanded its use ofelectronic computer aided design (ECAD) software for the design and analysis of circuits and forthe design of printed circuit boards (PCBs). The department has purchased equipment suitablefor use on SMDs, has actively pursued donation of SMT parts, and has added a second course onelectronic manufacturing.backgroundSurface mount technology (SMT) was developed in the 1960s & 1970s by IBM and others toreduce the size of electronic component packages and thereby reduce the size of electronicdevices designed with those packages (1,2). The technology has other advantages, includingreducing package-related parasitic capacitance and inductance, with concomitant

Many universities offer graduatelevel courses on materials science. These courses provide fundamental knowledge on thestructure, mechanics and physics behind advanced materials. The emphasis on these courses is“science”, not “engineering”. Students graduating with a materials science degree acquire theknowledge on the fundamentals of materials science and very little on materials engineering. Ingeneral, they do not acquire the proper background to design with these materials or to selectmaterials based on their design and processing

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
