demographics of our country are changing at a rapid pace. According to thelast American Community Survey (ACS) from the Census Data (2015), 71.81% of schoolage individuals, who are speakers of languages other than English, identified themselvesas Spanish speakers. Soon, Hispanics and Latinx will become the largest minority in ournation. In this population, 60% of the households are considered by the system as LimitedEnglish Proficiency with low levels of college attainment (US Census, 2015). Yet, yearsof educational reform have no resulted in educational gains for students who are Englishlearners. For instance, during the 2011 NAEP writing assessment, 99% of eighth- andtwelfth-grade students classified as English language learners (ELL) performed

of 14 panels. The 14 panels arewired in the series/parallel configuration shown in Figure 3 to stay below the current and voltagelimits of the disconnects and the inverter. The inverter provides its own DC and AC disconnectsand then the wire is routed to a distribution panel within the building. Figure 3. Schematic of solar photovoltaic array.The basic construction of the photovoltaic array was relatively easy. A pre-fabricated trusssystem was mounted to a steel frame on the roof of the building. The panels were then attachedto the truss. As shown in Figure 4, much of this work was accomplished by students whovolunteered to assist. This do-it-yourself installation was a great learning experience but it didtake a

and how to useit to graph a wave or plot a frequency response (e.g., impedance of a component with parasitics)to inspect resonance are discussed. The students become familiarized with Keysight AdvancedDesign System (ADS) in the context of AC analysis of resonators. That lays the foundation forusing ADS for S parameter analysis discussed later in the course.Stage 2 (4 weeks): Transmission line (TL) theory and related topics such as reflectioncoefficient, standing wave, impedance transformation, short/open circuit lines (stubs), concept ofmatching, and power flow are covered. As the focus remains on voltage and current waves intwo-conductor TLs (e.g., coaxial cable), students would not face any EM-focused discussions.The only related background
