andEffectiveness) as tools for assessment of instruction.Key words: Assessment of instructor performanceIntroductionHistorically student performance was judged through an evaluation process that was pretty muchthe prerogative of the instructor. The evaluation was reflected for the most part in a final grade.Upon graduation, observations and comments in reference letters by faculty either for graduateschool or employment would add additional insight to the academic performance of the student.In recent years grading (evaluation) has developed into a more objective process referred to asassessment. The terms evaluation and assessment are often used synonymously. But there is adistinct difference; evaluation is quantitative judgment of performance, whereas

. The approximately 300,000 cycles ofloading are expected. The Simulink is used as an equation solver in Simulink (Appendix F).Discussion: The computational methods provide data, simulation, and visualization of mechanical system. Through advanced mathematical modeling and numerical solutions reflecting a combination of concepts, method, and principles that are often interdisciplinary in nature of mechanics, and mechanical design. The study of computational methods can increase the computer skills and analytical skills for our student, who has had less mathematical background. This one-credit, two-contact hour course is only an elementary introduction which can only provide a basic need in the solution of technical problems in mechanical field

received from the camera, the individual pixels must be converted to abarcode. A method to do this is described in by Lamarche [4]. The process begins with readingthe pixel from a current location. Assuming a user touches the screen on a barcode, the currentlocation of the touch can be found from in Objective C by:CGPoint centerPoint = [touch locationInView:[self view]]; float x=centerPoint.x; float y=centerPoint.y;Next the photo needs to be reflected to an image space. The code below shows how to do this,assuming imagData is the image space.CGImageRef imageRef = [view1.image CGImage]; NSUInteger width = CGImageGetWidth(imageRef); NSUInteger height = CGImageGetHeight(imageRef); CGColorSpaceRef

The lock-in amplifier gives VDC output depends on reference signal input from signalgenerator used to modulate optical signal chopper and output signal from photo detector.Optical glucose sensing techniques using the optical rotatory effect of glucose have manyadvantages over currently existing invasive and noninvasive methods, since the method is basedon shining a brief pulse of light into the front of the eye. Although our previous research hasshown that we can isolate the lens/aqueous reflection and detect polarizational changes, themeasurements in presence of a

The values of the formal parametersare entered first, followed by a trace of the execution of the statements of the function body. Thereturned value is then encircled, and the trace returns to the left. Figure 6 shows a program inwhich a function is used to calculate the hypotenuse of a right triangle. In the trace, input valuesof 5.0 and 12.0 are assumed, and the function getHypotenuse returns a value of 13.0.Tracing functions with reference parametersAny change in the value of a reference parameter is reflected in a change in the value of thecorresponding actual parameter. In the trace, a double arrow is used to indicate this relationship.Figure 7

systems of differentialequations, fitting parameters to the models is complex and presents convergence issues as thesystems grow in size. In spite of such issues, the analysis of in vivo time series data is veryuseful in gauging the response of in vivo systems that have not undergone artificial isolation andpurification. In particular, such data accurately reflect the activity of cells and organisms andhow they respond to signals and stimuli. Living organisms must coordinate biological machineryacross several levels of organization, from gene expression to dynamic changes in proteinabundance to adaptive changes in metabolic profiles and physiological response. These changescannot always be deduced from in vitro measurements of rate constants and

Clinics, throughout the engineering curriculum. In this sequence ofcourses, engineering students progress from projects with carefully limited scopes in thefreshman year, to ill-posed and open-ended projects that reflect professional practice in theJunior and Senior years. Indeed, most projects in the Junior and Senior year are externallysponsored. The faculty in the College of Engineering feel that this progression is a logical wayto take full advantage of project-based learning and to allow students to develop towardprofessional practice throughout their studies.Like many engineering programs, Rowan University is also striving to develop a sense ofentrepreneurship in their students. The College of Engineering has established a venture
