Paper ID #11629Framework for Evaluating Simulations: Analysis of Student Developed In-teractive Computer ToolKelsey Joy Rodgers, Purdue University, West Lafayette Kelsey Rodgers is a graduate student at Purdue University in the School of Engineering Education. Her research focus is investigating how engineers’ understand, develop, and use mathematical models and simulations. Her research also focuses on feedback. She is currently conducting research in first-year engineering on the Network for Nanotechnology (NCN) Educational Research team. She previously conducted research with the Model-Eliciting Activities (MEAs

Absent other design criteria, this assumption willnormally allow for close to optimal output amplitude. Therefore:VRD = VDD - 0.5 * VDD = 0.5 * VDDso b) RD = 0.5 * VDD / IDqThe transconductance of a MOSFET can be found by taking the derivative of the transferfunction for
