For example, students, who would otherwise become businessmajors due to an inherent need to manage and lead, can now visualize engineering ortechnology as alternative gateway to their career destinations. The number oftechnologists can also be enhanced by creating student-centered transfer opportunities ofA.A.S. degree holders and Certificate holders.References:1. N. L.

Most of low bitrate codecs limit voice bandwidth to 50-3400 Hz whereas iLBC utilizes the full 4 KHzbandwidth producing higher quality reconstructed voice.b. Advantages‚ As opposed to CELP codec that require previous data to estimate the pitch gain and lag, internet Low Bit rate Codec estimates the pitch of the signal in the same frame eliminating the dependency of previous samples and look ahead delays. This is why iLBC offers a better performance during packet loss conditions.‚ Use of LSF/LPC interpolation enhances the performance of the codec during high

It is not enough to be “book smart.” Industrywants engineers who are flexible, savvy and can produce quality results in real world situations.Higher education must find ways to educate engineering students with both practical andtheoretical knowledge to ensure the student’s success.ABET1 has led the charge by instituting learning outcomes for accreditation. Many of theseoutcomes are not technical but are considered “soft skills.” Soft skills include interpersonal,“people” skills.

Second, professional development wasintensive and sustained. Third, professional development engaged the teachers in concreteteaching tasks based upon teachers’ experiences with students.
