When the crystal issubjected to a force, it generates a small electrical charge. That charge is directly proportional tothe applied force. Using Newton’s Second Law (F=ma), it is very useful to use piezoelectricsensors to measure force and acceleration, opening a wide array of applications.2,3 Farlow, et alwere able to micromachine piezocomposite transducers with kerfs as small as 13 m, using acopper vapor laser.4Independent Study Research OpportunitiesMinerick, et al show that research can be used as a recruiting tool to draw talented high schoolstudents to the

ConclusionsThe education system was heavily misused between late 1980’s until 2003. As educationalvalues evaporated from the institutions, most of the appointments of the chancellors and deansand the promotions of academics from lower to higher ranks were based on political affiliationrather than academic excellence. Therefore, the quality of education has gradually degraded, andconsequently, the knowledge and skills of university graduates have deteriorated significantly,affecting all sectors in the country.To establish a viable

microcontroller (Microchip TechnologyInc.’s PIC16F684) via an analog to digital converter module of the microcontroller.This design decision was dictated by the need for reliable and independent operationof the accident detection algorithm and also by the limitation of the number of theinput/output channels on the main microcontroller. The primary job of the PIC16F684chip is to take the G-force readings from the MMA7260QT accelerometer periodically.The simplicity of operation on MMA7260QT determines that its programming code isvery robust and runs fast; this, in turn, leads to desired sensitivity and reliability of theoperation. If a spike in G-force is detected, an accident may have happened. ThePIC16F684 chip then sets one of the inputs on the main

: Knowledge,Comprehension, and Application (see Table 2). During the 1990's a new group of cognitivepsychologists, led by Lorin Anderson, updated the taxonomy and modified the form of thesethree categories to Remembering, Understanding, and Applying. Lower order cognition isadequate for memorization and for following simple procedures.Some types of learning and understanding require more than rote memorization of facts orsimply following directions. Cognitive activities such as analysis, synthesis, and evaluation aremore complex, and open ended. There can be many “correct” solutions (as well as many wrongones). Whether or not a solution is “right” might depend on the specific context. Bloom referredto these functions as “higher order cognition.” In
