desktop computer. We used low-cost (ca. 120USD) interactivetablets and styluses to enable annotation of the PowerPoint slides as we recorded each lecture orlecture segment. For programming- or spreadsheet-focused lectures, we used Microsoft Excel,VBA within Excel, MATLAB, or Simulink as appropriate, and could readily switch the videocapture between the programming environment and the relevant PowerPoints as needed. Ourpractice of splitting the lectures led to typical segment lengths of 5 – 15 minutes, and total videocontent per class period of 30 – 40 minutes.From a delivery standpoint, we initially used a flipped model in the Y3NM class. Lecture videoswere posted several days prior to class, and student were asked to watch the video(s) and often

The purpose of this exploratory study was to investigate theeffectiveness of teaching the reflection process in an engineering class in order to developintegrative, global and socially conscious engineers. Thus, this paper seeks to promoteBoyer’s (1990) argument that effective teaching stimulates “active, not passive, learningand encourage[s] students to be critical, creative thinkers, with the capacity to go onlearning after their college days are over”2 (p. 24). This study examined the effectiveness of teaching the reflection and integrationprocess in an engineering class by creating opportunities for engineering students toreflect on prior knowledge

the ispPAC10’s analog circuitry isbased on continuous-time, as opposed to switched-capacitor technology, filters implementedwith the ispPAC10 are not subject to the sampling and aliasing problems often encountered whenusing switched capacitor filters. Due to the frequencies used in the proposed experiments, it isunderstood that the sampling/aliasing problems associated with switched capacitors are far frombeing noticed, although this issue describes one feature of the ispPAC device that might beimportant depending on the application being developed. The ability to program the internalcapacitor values of the ispPAC10 allows the designer to realize thousands of distinct analogcircuits and filter characteristics from a given circuit architecture
