: • Project-1: the students were given digital logic functions such as f =xx +x x,1 2 2 3 and were asked to implement them by using the standard 7400 series chips. Figure 1 depicts a typical practical implementation of the logic function f . The students were asked to prepare the truth table of the circuits, and to implement them on breadboards and verify the expected functional operations. An Light Emitting Diode (LED)s were connected to the output of the logic circuits so that Logic 0 and Logic 1 output could be identified easily, i.e., when the light was on, Logic 1 is understood while logic 0 is interpreted when the light was off. x1
-build method also had a statistically significant effect onconstruction time at less than the 0.0001 level. The results indicate that, at least for the sampleprojects, construction time was significantly lower when design-build delivery method was used.By converting the value of the intercept and assigned values of delivery methods to theirexponentials (EXP), the model for estimating actual construction time in South India may beexpressed as follows:TIME = 2.354*COSTβ1*EXP(DBB)-0.094*EXP(DB)-0.661 Eqn.

This ensures that every instructor is aware of what and how he/she needs to assess. B. During Semester: All instructors are reminded that they need to document their course’s assigned performance criteria and to enter this information into ACTS.

become a reality it is necessary to identify: 1) how students are thinking about Page 22.204.2engineering and 2) how their beliefs change over time. Since much of the previous research hasfocused on secondary levels, it is time that we take what has been learned and begin to determineat which stage(s) in the students’ development conceptions and beliefs are being generated. Forexample, if we know that female and minority students are shying away from engineering whenthey come out of high school because of lack of understanding about the profession, then it isvital to determine at what point they formulate these beliefs and implement

The system discussed here avoids these problems by requiring only a littlescripting on behalf of the author, and a user with a web-browser with JavaScript.IntroductionThe system described in this paper easily allows a user to create web-based animations of linearsystems while requiring no web-programming experience.. S/he simply writes a simple script.The system is described mathematically by using a state-space model (i.e, A, B, C and Dmatrices) with initial conditions and optional input functions. The drawing to be animated isdescribed in terms of graphics primitives such as masses, springs, resistors, and capacitors.System

Based on recent experience with pen-based technologies in ENGR 315, the instructor now uses this method in other courses, recommends this learning environment to colleagues, and is experimenting with new technology as part of the continual improvement process.
