each of the forty-three in-classexample problems. The simulation must duplicate the mechanical conditions of the problem andproduce a numerical result for an output parameter. This result is compared to theoretical analysisproduced by algebraic manipulation of equations and computation on a hand-held calculator. Eachvideo demonstrates how to extract numerical results from the simulation and compares these tohand-calculated results, finding remarkable agreement. Students follow the videos in the school’scomputer laboratory listening to the audio on individual headphones. They are often seenrepeatedly rewinding and replaying the video while simultaneously constructing a simulation oftheir own similar but distinct homework problems. To define

the student body is receiving an education that approaches critical thinking in aholistic manner (e.g., formulating problems, working in a laboratory setting, mastery ofgraphical/written/verbal communication). Institutions collect a series of assessments targetingthese individual student outcomes (SOs) with the goal of determining how well the student bodycan achieve the goals prescribed by ABET. This process provides a thorough overview ofstudent attainment in the SOs from the perspective of the institution and its individual faculty,but it lacks any substantive measure of student self-efficacy.Self-efficacy is a term used to describe how well an individual believes they can accomplish atask [1].

Working with a matched Radiotronixtransmitter and receiver [8], [9] the team ran many laboratory tests to understand the relationshipand the requirements of the system. The transmitter needs 3 volts power and a square wavesignal in order to transmit correctly. Two AA batteries and a 555 timer chip [10] were used topower the transmitter. The 555 timer was used to generate a square wave. The receiver also ispowered by a 3 volt supply; similarly the team used two AA batteries to power the receiver.

. Laboratory testing has confirmed this and range testing has yielded resultscommensurate with this.The most important lesson learned in this project is setting realisitic, sufficiently short termgoals. Everyone has a tendency to overestimate what they can accomplish and grosslyunderestimate the amount of time it will take. Students are notorious for procrastinating. Given afull academic year to complete a project, the most diligent students would probably start to getreal work done around the half-way point. Most would start even later. This leads to staying upall night for a few weeks straight, rushing to put everything together, and not meeting all theproject requirements. This can be avoided by having weekly goals that must be met
