IntroductionSmart devices are growing exponentially, and our everyday life has changed dramatically withthe advent of the Internet and networking technologies. Related to these technologies, oneemerging entity is the IoT (Internet of Things). This is a developing concept of making an opennetwork of devices equipped with sensors and RFIDs (radio frequency identification) aimed atinterconnecting all things electronic to make them more intelligent and programmable.According to Cisco, a leader in IoT and supported by IEEE, about 20 billion machines anddevices could be linked by

becoming increasingly complex across all its branches - from thetraditional civil engineering to the modern computer, space, and genetic engineering. Thecomplexity has increased even more due to a growing interdependence among disciplines andthe emergence of a wide range of new technologies.To manage this situation, engineers whocan keep pace with new technologies and think laterally when developing new applications,and engineers who are creative and capable of abstract thinking are required. It has beenobserved that recent engineering graduates are lacking in these competencies; and thetraditional and still dominant engineering curriculum at most universities, especially indeveloping countries, makes little provision for developing them 1-3

Depending on the lab, the DUTwill be a comparator, a DAC, or an ADC. The DIB contains circuits that will allow the DUT to beplaced into different configurations for different specification tests (e.g. input bias current, offsetvoltage, linearity, propagation delay, etc.). The DIB circuits may be as simple as load structures(output resistors and/or capacitors) or input resistors to gain up input current measurements, or ascomplicated as negative feedback servo-loops to force the device into a known state.

Theresearch questions that guided the study presented in this paper are as follows: (1) What are the main considerations for engaging math and science teachers in engineering research and design? (2) What are the challenges that teachers face and what of type of support should be provided to help teachers translate their engineering research into engineering content relevant to the math and science concepts they teach.This paper presents the methods and results of a case study where a team of three teachers wereengaged in engineering research that consisted of

if the situation were real, role-play simulations tend to have higher psychological fidelity.9Thus, they are thought to be effective at forcing participants to feel the emotions of a situationand to display skills needed in an actual situation. Further, they are intended to developawareness of the difficulty of enacting the decisions that a person makes in a realistic situation.A single role-play can open students to the realistic difficulties involved with following throughon decisions.1 Thus, role-plays have the potential to show different perspectives on a problem,improve the depth of understanding, and capture participants’ attention because of theexperiential nature and realism of the training design.

Butler found that astudent’s understanding of a learning activity is grounded in productive metacognition abouttasks associated with students’ thoughtful planning, self-monitoring, and selection of appropriatestrategies to accomplish task objectives [1]. Metacognitive skill plays a particularly critical rolein real-life or open-ended tasks, such as solving ill-structured design problems.Metacognition is critical to the self-evaluation of one’s knowledge and abilities [2], which isessential in mathematics [3, 4], science [5, 6], technology [7, 8], engineering

In particular, the tasks in applying statics to a real physicalsystem include: 1. Survey the physical system to recognize the various parts, how they are connected or supported 2. Select a subsystem, that is, a some portion of the system, for analysis 3. Draw a free body diagram of the subsystem 4. Write down equations of equilibrium for the subsystem 5.

The energy sent into the material is either transmitted through the material,or absorbed within the porous structure of the material. The sound absorption coefficient is thesum of the percentages of sound that were not reflected. From Figures 1, the sound transmissioncoefficient, τ, is simply the ratio of the sound power transmitted through the material sample intoanother space to the sound power incident on one side of a material sample.
