, also known as a supplemental instruction program, were designedto provide subject-specific support and enrichment to students in the program throughout the firstyear, particularly in subjects that students typically find challenging. Supplemental instruction isa method that was developed at the University of Missouri-Kansas City in the mid-1970’s byDeanna Martin5. Originally, it was designed for a medical school program, and was successful inimproving course grades and retention. However, today, it is used across several universityprograms, although it has not been widely researched within the engineering community.Facilitated study groups are designed to enhance students’ understanding of course material, andprovide them with skill

From the beginning, leaders of business andindustry cooperated in the institution's development, and a close relationship was established thathas continued throughout the school’s history.The Biomedical Engineering Program at MSOE was started as a Biomedical EngineeringTechnology program in 1969. In the mid 1980’s the program moved from a technology focus toan engineering focus, and was ABET accredited as one of the first four Biomedical Engineeringprograms in the country in 1990. MSOE’s

Procedures that address these issues must also use a measure related to height to quantify roughness. This is necessary as measures of frequency, 2-d size, and distance between features alone cannot define roughness.

implementation is easier to implement because there is noadditional cabling required beyond power to the access points, but the distribution system mustbe configured manually by the administrator.In order to replicate similar course modules, the instructor(s) must obtain the proper hardwareand make it available for student use. Access points must support some kind of similar meshprotocol, as well as wireless distribution system protocols that can work in conjunction with802.11 standards. Ideally, wireless access points utilized for this course module should supporttwo separate radios. One radio should support 802.11a while the other supports 802.11b/gstandards. In this manner, the distribution system can be separated from the client-accessdomain. A
