The laboratory will enable students toconduct visualizations of the waves that develop due to the instability.The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability is a classical problem originally studied by Helmholtz 1and Kelvin2. The mechanism causing the instability has been studied in detail by Lamb3,Bachelor4, Drazin and Reid5, Chandrasekahr6, Craik7, and many others. The Kelvin-Helmholtz instability can appear at the interface of two fluid layers flowing with

Recently the author hasre-structured the laboratory to become a term-long group project in the area of analog integratedcircuits. This paper describes the results of one of these team projects.IntroductionThe objective of this capstone course is to expose senior EET majors to the design process foranalog integrated circuits by working as a member of a design team.

Theresponsibility for a third course, Professional Development II, was assumed by the School ofHumanities and Social Science; it was organized to be completely independent of the ArcherCenter sequence.

A host of students here at Alfred State College have alluded to thebenefits experienced in a laboratory setting where they are able to apply the theorypresented during lecture. This added dimension of application has been cited numeroustimes as the main reason for selecting an engineering technology curriculum over anengineering science curriculum.

Therefore, this is a very logicalplace to assess what students have learned. Furthermore, since these experiences are usually Page 12.548.4done in teams and they usually involve written reports and oral presentations, the professionalskills (teamwork, communication, global/societal context, life-long learning, contemporaryissues) can be assessed similarly.
