Our multidisciplinary and multi-step approach is motivated by the emerging policyinterest in instruction that better integrates science learning across years1, includes modernworkplace skills2 and more exposure to engineering3. Math as rote procedures can be a barrier toconceptual understanding in science. But math is the language of science and it explains criticalconceptual components of scientific ideas (e.g., the differences between constraints on area vs.constraints on volume, differences between linear and exponential growth). Studies have foundthat math can serve as a thinking tool for making conceptual analysis of complex scientificsituations more approachable

The researchers were alsoconcerned with the way in which concept mapping has been used to evaluate interdisciplinaryknowledge integration and the manner in which instruction can play into that integration15. Ourmethod draws heavily from Shallcross’s16 methodology that targets semi-structured mappingactivities by single students in a short time frame. This affords an efficient deployment of conceptmapping within a course setting without being disruptive. Due to the exploratory nature of theproject and diversity of approaches taken within each section, the authors avoid assessing theconcept maps to an exemplar developed by an expert or a singular complexity

1980s an expensive 16-bit ADC had a samplerate of only about 100Ksps. This could only unambiguously sample a signal with a bandwidth of50kHz or less, which was fine for audio, but not for broadband signals, and certainly not fordirect conversion of RF signals. Application specific integrated circuits (ASIC) helped advancehardware digital radios in the 1980s and 90s, and helped to usher in the era of digital mobilephones [2]. Today, ADCs operating with tens of Msps are relatively inexpensive, and for muchsteeper price, several Gsps sampling rates are available.
