The ultimate goal of thisdesign course is to bring together seniors in electrical engineering, and industrial designengineers with a focus on mixed signal testing of discrete components in themicroelectronics area. The lecture will cover the following topics: modern analog andmixed signal technologies, an introduction to test electrical characteristics of integratedcircuits (IC) and devices incorporating both digital and analog functions; the laboratorywill give the students an opportunity to test a variety of circuits for AC and DC

Like theother facets of the West Point environment, the academic experience encourages study in a widevariety of traditional subjects to include the humanities and sciences essential to such service.To this end, USMA requires its graduates to take a set of engineering courses to develop theirproblem solving skills and expose them to technology in society.

This simple scenario intrigued the following two-prong issues for engineeringeducators: 1) what should be the underpinnings/justification of the decision-making process of anengineer? 2) when and in what context should an engineer learn these decision-makingprocesses? Engineers should anchor their decisions on ethical/moral basis, and learn and practicethese ethical-decision-making skills in their early professional development phase.Undergraduate education is one of the first formal places in the professional development of anengineer. Engineering students would be able to far-transfer ethical decision-making skills intheir industry career if they learn and practice in context. Capstone design

Evenso, this slow adoption of active learning is apparent despite a dramatic increase in ourcapabilities and capacity to leverage instructional technologies, and that as project-baseddesign education has become common in engineering programs. Active learningpedagogies challenge the more traditional teacher-centered pedagogies such as lectures,which are the dominant form of delivery.
