the following reasons: 1. To ascertain the relative benefit of using a peer-to-peer active learning technique with a first semester freshman class. 2. To encourage students to communicate, provide teamwork practice and encourage learning techniques for self-directed continuing professional development − all of which are criteria of the “Program Outcomes for Engineering Technology Programs” by the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET)15 and part of the American Society of Engineering Education (ASEE) Green Report – “Engineering Education in a Changing World.” 3. To add variety to a nearly 3 hour lecture class that does not have a laboratory component beyond soil sieve testing, thus

While both software and hardware essentially perform the same function,there are many advantages in using hardware to directly implement the algorithm.Hardware has a size
