early 1970’s, state budget cuts forced the elimination of funding for instructionalequipment and laboratories. Rapid changes in technology, particularly the growing application ofcomputing, presented challenges to maintain quality in the instructional laboratories in theCollege of Engineering. A funding program in the 1980’s helped to revitalize some of the engineering lab facilities;however, many objectives were unfulfilled. The realization of the importance of computertechnologies by industry prompted significant contributions by technology companies. TheIllinois Society of Professional Engineers promoted the establishment of the Illinois EngineeringEquipment Grant Program for the purchase of lab equipment and other resources. The need

A computationaldomain with the same size as the wind tunnel test section was chosen for numerical simulations.The size of the computational domain in the streamwise direction was 0.3 m in front of theleading edge and 0.548 m after the trailing edge. In order to get a reasonable calculation time, a2D plane steady flow calculation was selected. A free stream velocity of 20 m/s, a wall surfaceroughness of 100 micrometer and a turbulence intensity of 1% were chosen for the settingsfollowing the CosmosFloWorks wizard.

decision.While traditional mechanisms of evaluation (homework sets, quizzes, and exams) are good fortesting a student’s knowledge and skill in the use of formal methodologies, such as discountedcash flow analysis, performing a breakeven analysis, or choosing the minimum cost solutionbetween two mutually exclusive alternatives, they do not necessarily allow for examining otherrelevant steps in decision-making (problem-solving). In the problem-based learning context, thegoal is not relegated to knowing how to apply a methodology (i.e. execute a breakeven analysis).Rather, the goal is that a student understands how to (1) formulate a problem from incompletedata; (2) determine what parameter(s) are critical; (3) identify and execute the correct analysis(i.e

digital pinscan be used for various output modulation schemes (e.g. Pulse-Width Modulation, PWM)and as a logic analyzer; in addition to simple control and monitoring applications.Analog InputAt the heart of the analog input system is a 1MS/s, 12-bit analog-to-digital converter. TheADC is multiplexed to 12 channels, seven of which are available to the user via a screwterminal mounted on the board. Channels 3 through 7 are able to read voltages between 0and positive 2.5V. Channels 1 and 2 are enhanced in order to more closely match acommercial oscilloscope’s input capabilities (though any analog channel can be used inoscilloscope mode). The input range is -10V to +10V on these two channels, which isachieved via a digitally-adjustable front end gain

andWi-Fi systems have to overcome to provide acceptable service, even in more or less benignenvironments.Finally, it is important to note that the I and Q signals can be captured and stored through minormodifications to the LabView VI’s. An instructive exercise is to have the students demodulate areal-world signal using Matlab. For example, suppose an FM signal is captured and stored in aMatlab vector “s” such that the in-phase and quadrature components are represented as the realand imaginary parts. We can extract the signal envelope as “envelope = abs(s)” and theinstantaneous phase as “theta = angle(s)”. Since the FM phase is the integral of the messagesignal, the message signal can be extracted by differentiating the phase using “m = diff

 Engineering Education  This paper attempts to quantify the hiring pattern in the field of EE/CS at the top 10 electricalengineering research programs in the United States. This is important as people who have trainedat great length and expense to be researchers confront a swindling number of academic jobs5. In1974, fewer than 30% of all science and engineering (S&E) Ph.D.s were working in industry,and more than 45% were in tenure-track faculty positions. By 1999, the trend had reversed withnearly 38% S&E Ph.D.s who had received their training in the United States were working in industry, whereas about 25% were working in a tenure‐track position in academe5.  MethodologyColleges and universities now customarily provide information about their
