1 Furse, Cynthia M.13 crazy, notorious things to do in an EM classThe average attention span of an adult human is 12-20 minutes. Our lectures are 50-80 minutes. Attention Span Math reminds us to take a break now and then, and to bring the class back to life by bringing some life to the class. Many students learn things better if they can see and touch them, so thi...Attention span; Fun2005-06
2 Furse, Cynthia M.; Farhang, BehrouzIntegration of signals/systems and electromagnetics courses through the design of a communication system for a cardiac pacemakerAs students go through a traditional ECE program, they lean a great deal about individual components and tools: transistors, op amps, diodes, resistors, transmission lines, and Fourier transforms. In a traditional lab they build and test these individual units. But when the lab is done, whether or n...2005-04

4 Furse, Cynthia M.New IEEE AP-S education web site: course/lab notes, scholarships, K-12 outreachGreetings from the Snowy West! This month I am pleased to announce a new effort on the part of the IEEE Antennas and Propagation Society Education Committee to collect course and laboratory links relevant to the AP-S community, and compile them in a central location where they can be easily accessed...IEEE AP-S; Education web site; Course notes; Lab notes; K-12 outreach2004
5 Furse, Cynthia M.Take a Stand: Speaking about RF SafetyTell your students at the beginning of the semester that they need to prepare a speech and deliver it before an off-campus audience, and they will not exactly be leaping out of their seats with joy. Remind them a week in advance that their speech is coming up, and you will inevitably have a student ...Radio frequency safety; RF safety2004-12

7 Furse, Cynthia M.Teaching and learning combined (TLC)Most professors have to lean a LOT. Every day, it seems, there IS something that we need that we don't know. So what do you do to lean this new information? Perhaps you hit the Web or the library, find a tutorial, a textbook, or a paper, and give it a little reading time in between a 12:00 class an...2003
