Thisgives two different received powers: P1dBm at receiver 1 (connected to antenna 1), and P2dBm at Figure 6: Antenna pair with incident radar signalreceiver/antenna 2. Look carefully at Figure 6. Note that the difference between the tworeceived powers varies linearly with the angle off of boresight, from a maximum of AdB_BS at 0°(antenna 1’s boresight) to a minimum of 0 dB at 45°. (Beyond that the arrival angle is closer toantenna 2, so all of the following calculations would be reversed and worked with respect toantenna 2 instead of Antenna 1.) It is this

Student designs will comply with a realistic level of engineering codes and standards and shall include considerations such as environment, economics, manufacturability, sustainability, health and safety.There are a variety of options when it comes to teaching both design process and the actualcapstone course(s).5 Some schools have a separate course in design methods.6, 7, 8, 9 This wouldthen be followed by either a one or two semester capstone course. Other schools integrate theinstruction in design methods or processes into the one or two semester capstone experience.10As previously mentioned, this may be the first time that students have been exposed to a

Such projects requirean understanding of the capabilities of the student teams on the part of the corporate sponsors, aswell as an understanding of the culture and expectations of their corporate partners by thestudents and faculty. This level of trust requires long term planning, development, and nurturing.The engineering programs as Grand Valley State University were launched at the request of localindustry in the 1980’s.

The major cause was lack ofresources and awareness which eventually resulted in absence of defined career path neither inacademia nor in industry. The situation is changing now with a positive rate. However, there stillis only a small fraction of students opting for this field in their undergraduate studies. This hasposed a challenge to academia to introduce students of different background to thismultidisciplinary field. A new introductory course for undergraduate ECE students was neededespecially.

The majority of all bachelor degreesawarded in engineering are to [w]hite males”[4],[5]. Thinking about students’ meaningful writingexperiences as related to enagement may be a way to further examine engagement as a “precursorto persistence”[6].Defining meaningful writing is important to understand its distinction.
