The Laplace transform of this differential equation is: Ms2Y(s) + BsY(s) + KY(s) = X(s) (2)where X(s) and Y(s) are the Laplace Transforms of x(t) and y(t), respectively.3 The displacement, velocity, and acceleration responses of the two cars for various car andinput parameters are illustrated in the following sections.

If there ever were anopportunity draw useful lessons from history, it would surely be on this topic. Concerns about an“engineering manpower” crisis persisted throughout the Cold War years in American history,fueled by massive federal expenditures and the emphasis placed on science and its application tothe nation‟s arsenal and economic wealth. Even as we proceed to transform, if not dismantle, theinstitutional apparatus developed to meet the exigencies of the Cold War period, it may well

Theyclaim that “After six years, only 11 percent of low-income, first-generation students had earnedbachelor‟s degrees compared to 55 percent of their more advantaged peers.” Some of theirrecommendations include additional financial aid to students and cohort development. Engstromand Tinto9 show that the learning community model improves the persistence of low-incomeand/or first generation students to stay in college and graduate.

A critical issue is the availability of inexpensive orfree software that demonstrates the major circuit design considerations necessary for laboratoriesand projects. This paper has been written to relate our positive experiences using PSpice in aclass entitled “High Frequency Electronics” (EE 626), which is a graduate level course atOakland University in Rochester, Michigan. Examples discussed include the development anduse of y- and s-parameter extraction circuits, Wilkinson power dividers and adders, directionalcouplers, baluns, hybrid rings, HF filters, and stability and load calculators.

Thesedata points were then examined to determine if there was a correlation between the S-type or N-type student’s rating and the specific content of that lecture.

In 2000, less than 5% of all undergraduate degrees were awarded to engineers.Engineering bachelor’s degrees have grown only 1% since 2005.This presentation describes the overall framework of a project that has been recently funded bythe Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) ofthe National Science Foundation.

IEs.The influence of computer technologies is not a new phenomenon in IE: Consider theperiod from the 1960's to the 1980's. It is interesting to observe that the use of computersnot only facilitated the solution of analytical models in this era, but also affected the typeof analytical models themselves, and solution approaches in a very profound manner.The mainframes were the workhorses for the pre-1980's, mostly running in a batchprocessing mode. (A program was submitted to the computer as one of many jobs.) This"batch job" paradigm is still visible in the models and methods of IE, and, consequently,many algorithmic procedures still follow the batch-job paradigm. Under this paradigm,the algorithm has a set of inputs. It then goes through a

discussion.This paper is about realizing that potential for the purpose of teaching frequency-responseconcepts. This is an area that requires a teacher to present several different types of plots – time-domain response plots, frequency-response (e.g., Bode) plots, and pole/zero maps in the s-planeand z-plane – and to discuss their inter-relatedness.Here are some of the problems using computers to create plots “on-the- fly” in the classroom: • delays result from taking time to create plots, • delays result from making mistakes while creating plots, • plots are not readable from everywhere in a classroom, • plots are not interactively modifiable, or it is not easy to modify them, • plots do not clearly and easily illustrate the points of a
