represents the square root of –1. However, this reasoning appears logically inconsistent.There is nothing imaginary about the symbol i or its use.This paper treats the following interesting topics in the theory of functions of a complex variable:1) sensible introductions to Euler’s i that conform to the way engineers and technicians usethe symbol in analyzing alternating current circuits and mechanically vibrating systems;2) the derivation of the algebraic and topological features of the complex plane and acomparison of these features to the properties of “real” numbers;3) the description of the isomorphism between phasors and combinations of same-frequencysinusoidal oscillations that underlies the theory of alternating current analysis
thosestudents will encounter on the job after they graduate--into the course. We recently team taught amanufacturing projects course to master's-level engineering and business students. This graduatecourse included five participant groups: instructors, students, graduate assistants, sponsors, andboard members who acted as senior managers. Although including multiple participant groupsenriched our students' experience in the course, it also complicated our job as instructors. Thispaper includes a description of our course, challenges we encountered while teaching it, and ourthoughts about how to cope with those challenges. I. INTRODUCTIONThere we were, only one month into the semester, and one of our student project
conceptual understanding through those means alone may be limited. For example, evenwhen students complete pre-laboratory assignments to prepare for cookbook lab sessions, theselab exercises do not necessarily improve student learning in corresponding lecture-based courses[6], [7].Numerous authors discuss the potential merits of inquiry-based learning (hereafter IBL) as analternative to cookbook approaches to instructional laboratories, e.g. [2], [3], [8]. In a recentliterature review, Pedaste and colleagues [8] identified and summarized the core features of IBL.In general, student experiences mirror one or more steps of the scientific method and/ordisciplinary habits of mind of scientists or engineers: (1) articulating testable questions

First offered in 2022, the course was taken by students inelectrical, mechanical, and marine engineering, as well as naval architecture; all presumably withinterest in the maritime industry. Comprising a major component of the course was a collectionof several mini projects we designed [2] to focus on the maritime industry and also demonstratemost of the concepts vital to classical ML.

A university-wide teaching center organizes a college-wide,engineering-specific training program and provides consultation services to othersinvolved in the program. Faculty coordinators work at the departmental level to establishclear criteria of performance for GSIs and to resolve individual problems as they arise.Finally, graduate student mentors serve as non-threatening resources for information onpolicy and procedure, evaluators of GSI performance, and providers of effectivefeedback.Regardless of the model used for a GSI training program, it is essential that thedevelopmental stages of GSIs be kept in mind.

Unlike a traditional department, the one that plays as the leader is the so-called the educational resource center (ERC) or the center school. The professor who is in charge of the ERC supposed to have the richest domain knowledge and more hardware setups in that expertise. Meanwhile, the leader shall be open-minded and is willing to share his educational resources at least within his or her cluster. The possible resources that may be shared include not only the hardware like teaching facilities, lab equipment, but the software such as the course materials as well. At the end
