The dependent variableis a dichotomous variable indicating if students marked engineering as their major at the end ofthe fourth year of college. As all students in the sample indicated engineering at the beginning ofcollege, this variable represents whether they were retained in engineering at the end of theirfourth year of college or not. Students who initially did not select engineering, but later switchedmajors into engineering, were not included in this analysis for two reasons. First, the number ofstudents who switch into engineering tends to be quite small, much smaller than the number

voltage of the VCVS appears atterminal VCD and is a half-wave rectified triangle which may be positive-going or negative-going, depending upon the polarity selected by switch S1. This output of the VCVS provides thecollector voltage for BJTs or drain voltage for MOSFETs. Resistor R10 is a built-in current-limiting resistor used with diode IV measurements. The anode of a diode under test is connectedto terminal DA. The VCVS output current is limited to approximately Β±25mA.Fig. 2. Partitioned curve tracer schematic.

andconfusing for students. One manner in which we have attempted to simplify the sheer number ofmathematical approaches that the students need to consider in our Vibrations course is toconsider any linear SDOF and MDOF problem using a state-space approach, in which only fourmatrices, ο Aο , ο B ο , οC ο , ο D ο , need to be obtained from the system in order to fully evaluate the 1Β response and the associated properties (natural frequencies, damping ratios, mode shapes, etc.) ofthe system, regardless of the initial conditions or forcing function [1]. While we have found thisapproach to be effective in our instruction of the course, we have commonly encounteredscenarios in which the students have
received SNR, to the thresholds in each state, each of which hascertain packet error probability. Each state can have a different threshold level, and depending ona given threshold, we associate an error probability with that state. In our approach we use threestate Markov chain model, where there are two good states, E (Excellent) and F (Fair), and asingle bad state, B. This gives us an insight for modeling wireless channels more accurately.Assuming that probability of transition from state E to state B and vice versa is very low, we canrepresent this with the diagram in Figure 1.
