With the exception of the first section (smallest of sections), allother sections carry multiple modes and the number of modes in any section isproportional to the diameter. The large number of modes in the last section allows a fielddistribution that permits highly directive radiation patterns.

To provide the opportunity for reflection that is true of real-life problem-solvingsituations, students were also asked to revisit each problem several days later; again being givenup to one hour to work. To control for effects that might arise due to the order in whichproblems were solved, half of the participants solved the ill-structured problem followed by thewell-structured problem.

Approach to First-Year Ethics InstructionThrough both success and failure, many engineering projects have a profound impact on individuals and society.Thus, ensuring future engineers consider these impacts and reflect on the ethical implications of their future work isan extremely important topic. There are many pitfalls with the traditional ways in which ethics is taught toengineering students. Often it is taught by a non-engineer as an abstract philosophical topic, rather than an act ofpersonal decision making situated in complex real-world contexts. . It is usually included late in the undergraduatecurriculum, such as during a senior capstone project, and is a relatively short subtopic (module) within a larger

These capstone courses areexpected to help students broaden their perspectives on how to integrate theoretical andpractical knowledge and how to reflect on practice. Within the last decade, employersand leading educators have been complaining that this synthesis, as it pertains to life-longlearning and expertise, may not be enough for new graduates to compete in a fastchanging global marketplace for engineering services.

Besides goal orientation, some researchershave proposed that the how students approach study reflects on their cognitive engagement withacademic material, and may affect their performance in school [3].The Students Approach to Learning (SAL) theory proposes two major levels of cognitive processesthat characterizes students approach to studying: surface-level strategy approach and deep-levelstrategies approach [4].
