The negative change instudent’s attitude can be attributed to difference between students’ perception aboutprogramming before the course and the reality they learned during the course.REFERENCES [1] Shallcross, Lynne, “Piecing It All Together”, ASEE Prism, November 2006, Volume 16, Number 3, http://www.prism-magazine.org/nov06/tt_01.cfm.

Garcia-OteroAbstractThe Goddard Electro-Magnetic Antenna Anechoic Chamber (GEMAC) is a world-class facility formeasuring radiation patterns of antennas and other microwave devices and instruments.. Anechoicmeans neither having nor producing echoes and is a shielded room whose walls have been covered with amaterial that absorbs so much of the incident energy that it can simulate free space. The anechoicchamber measures the isotropic (all directions) gain pattern of an antenna. These measurements are takenat different angles and frequencies. Goddard Anechoic chamber has been used for decades to test bothprototype and flight antennas affiliated with Goddard missions and outside entities. This paper presentsthe procedure and findings to

5This course attracted enrollment of employees from nearby A.T. & T. (formerly Western Electric) andsubsequently Lucent (now Agere/LSI) and from a Ford/Visteon plant that was just in the planning stagesin 1987. In the mid-nineties the semiconductor industry was in the throes of debates about wafer sizes(forecasts going to 300mm.) and the projected high costs of building new s-c fabrications plants (fabs). Itwas decided to assign students in MSE496 with the task of developing a product/process forecast as thebasis for making an estimate of the costs and potential output for a 300mm. wafer fab projected to beoperational in 2001.

approaches to rationale refer to processes in which the goal of the DR is to describethe thinking process that the system designer(s) utilize. Alternatively, prescriptive approaches areaimed at improving the design process by improving the reasoning process of the systemdesigners [1]. Also, the extent to which the method of DR capture intrudes in the design process isa characterizing feature. Most of the DR approaches are of the intrusive nature, though over thepast 15 years there has been extensive research done to find less intrusive ways of capturing andformalizing DR [7]. This work in reducing the intrusiveness of DR is being done in an attemptreduce the overhead involved with capturing and utilizing DR, and make it much more intuitiveto

Ernesto described finding friends as a source of support based on his experience in the S-STEM program–this sense of community flourished in his third year as a student at theuniversity.

Ifthe grading has little weight on writing an explanation, the students would simply ignore theverbal thinking aspect and just apply algorithm learning to get to the numerical answers asked inphysics questions. In a typical example where a block on a ramp is connected to a verticallyhanging block via a cord, the acceleration and tension can be calculated with algorithm learning.However, in a learning assessment in terms of verbal thoughts and writing skill, most of thestudents would fail to show in their writing that the acceleration answer must be less than 9.8m/s/s; and that the tension is the force that pulls up the block on the ramp and the same tensionprevents the vertically hanging block from free falling by acting as

Conclusions are formulated that support the recommendation of developing an open loop, analog fiber optic gyroscope which will satisfy the requirements of the particular application of interest as well as those of similar systems.

Designing curricula and courses thatutilize these modern tools without short-changing coverage of classical engineering theory canbe a delicate balance. Consider the use of finite element analysis (FEA) software. In the1970’s and early 1980’s, most courses in FEA courses were taught at the graduate level, withheavy emphasis on theory. Later in the 1980’s and into the 1990’s, FEA classes were added atthe undergraduate level, as use of the tool became more widespread in industry.
