experiments, the correction seems to be significant at the low salinities (less than0.9 Mho/m). Furthermore, since the down-hole MWD tool is operated at 2 MHz, a set ofcorrected data is essential for the tool calibration and the raw data correction. Therefore, thecorrection at the higher frequencies, such as 2 MHz, which is essential for MWD logging, hasbeen developed.Bibliography 1.

Hence the capacitor voltage represents the water tank level. Potentiometer R1represents the drain on the tank by the customers. The pump is modeled by a current sourcerealized as a current mirror. The current in the matched transistors of the LM3046 are controlledby the PLC output connected to Q1. The output voltage at the PLC output corresponds to thepumping rate. In this laboratory, the students would use an oscilloscope to monitor the capacitorvoltage at node 5. These first two laboratories lay down the model for the PLC as a robust and reliablecontroller.

Since ABET has relaxed the requirementsfor specific science courses required in the curriculum, it is interesting that although 92% of theschools require a first chemistry course in the freshman year, only 37% require a secondchemistry course. Of course, one limitation of the data is it does not indicate what courses aretaken after the first year. Based on ABET requirements for mathematics, it is not surprising thatall the schools require calculus I during the first year and 90% require calculus II.Computer programming and computer tools have essentially equal representation.
