  • Exploring the lived experiences of rural college student transitions

    Creator:
    Ast, Karen M.
    Abstract:
    This study explores the lived experiences of first-year, rural, Oregon students in their initial entry to college. Through qualitative research involving one-on-one interviews with 10 participants, the author examines the transition of rural students into higher education, common experiences of rural students in their first term of college, and perceived...

  • Congruence between student and adviser perceptions of academic advising

    Creator:
    Bingham, Lisa M.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of this study was to assess the congruence of perceptions of academic advising between students and advisers. Seventeen tasks involved in developmental academic advising were identified from a review of current academic advising literature. These criteria became the basis of a questionnaire that asked students whether their adviser...

  • The relationship between student involvement and self-esteem among college sophomore women

    Creator:
    Bridges, Laurie M.
    Abstract:
    This study examined the relationship between self-esteem and student involvement among American college sophomore women. Self-esteem is defined as "a positive or negative attitude toward the self" (Rosenberg, 1989, xxviii). Student involvement is defined as the amount of time a student spends actively involved in various activities in college (Astin,...

  • Middle Eastern student perceptions of mattering and marginality at a large American university

    Creator:
    Norris, Kent
    Abstract:
    This study aimed to explore the relatively undocumented experiences and perceptions of mattering and marginality among Middle Eastern students attending a large American university, it also sought to inform higher education administration about the unique characteristics of this rapidly noticeable student population and it attempted to narrow the knowledge gap...

  • Challenges of creating and maintaining international alumni relations programs

    Creator:
    Read, Lillian S.
    Abstract:
    During the 2006/07 academic year, 582,984 international students studied in the United States (Open Doors Study, 2007). Roughly 430,000 of these international students were pursuing Bachelors or Graduate level degrees. Of the international students that complete degrees, most will return to their home country and will be unable to attend...

  • Increasing the digital divide : the online college application process

    Creator:
    Werth, Loredana L.
    Abstract:
    The major objectives of this study were to ascertain if certain ethnic and racial groups of first-year Oregon State University students are without access to online admission materials, and to determine what students' point of view are about computer access or applying to Oregon State University online. In addition, the...

  • Architecture design of multiplexed incremental analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Zhang, Zhiqing
    Abstract:
    Analog-to-Digital Data Converters (ADCs) used in instrumentation and measurements often require high absolute accuracy, including excellent linearity and negligible dc offset. Incremental data converters (IDCs) provide a solution for such measurement applications. Since IDCs are essentially delta-sigma converters with reset operation before each conversion, they retain most of the advantages...

  • A survey on continuous-time modulators : theory, designs and implementations

    Creator:
    Gao, Xiaoran
    Abstract:
    Recently, delta-sigma modulation has become a widely applied technique for high-performance analog-to-digital conversion of narrow-band signals. Most of the early designs used discrete-time structure for good accuracy and good linearity. The transfer functions are independent of the clock frequency. However, high unity-gain bandwidths of the opamps are required to satisfy...

  • A comparative study of lowpass continuous-time delta-sigma modulators with pulse-shaped DACs

    Creator:
    Fang, Jie
    Abstract:
    Recently, continuous-time ΔΣ modulators are appearing increasingly often in both the literature and the marketplace due to their features of inherent antialiasing and relaxed requirements for opamp and so on. However, several nonideal factors such as clock jitter, excess loop delay, inter-symbol interference and so on, degrade the SNR performance...
