Assess the effectiveness, efficiency, and usability of IMODS in creating outcome-based course designThis paper describes our efforts in the High-level (Conceptual) Design phase of the UCDmethodology. This phase follows the collection of data from potential users on what theycurrently do and will need in the future. The main goal of high-level design is to create an earlyblueprint of the system. We have identified 2 tools that will be most suitable for this phase of theproject: Navigation Model and Prototyping. The navigation model will illustrate how all userinterface screens should be connected. Ideally this should reflect the user’s mental model tofacilitate

, members of a culture are asked to list as many items or beliefs that they can recall aboutone or more dimensions of a cultural model identified by the researcher, usually from previousstudies and the literature. For example, a researcher can ask participants to list their beliefs about“how the teacher-student relationship should function,” a dimension within the cultural model ofeducation success. Free listing assumes that individuals 1) with extensive knowledge providemore responses than those with less knowledge, 2) list most familiar and meaningful responsesfirst, and 3) provide responses that reflect their local cultural knowledge. 3 Ultimately, free listingmeasures the strongest beliefs shared by participants about this dimension.Currently

The sophomore students are required to attendsome of the presentation sessions and group meetings of the senior students (working on theirCapstone projects). They are also required to attend the poster presentation session made by thesenior students at the culmination of their Capstone project. The sophomore students are requiredto write reflection papers to explain their experience and to explain their understanding of theproject. The main rationale behind this interaction is to introduce the sophomores to the open-ended, and often vague, project objectives of the Capstone projects. Furthermore, the

After the sensors and actuators were installed and functioning correctly, studentswrote a simple program to check gripper function at the pick-up point. A few smalladjustments had to be made to the gripper design at this time to allow for compatibility withthe feeder equipment. The changes are reflected in the drawings included in Appendix A.The accuracy of the points taught was crucial at this step to ensure the proximity sensorwould be close enough to find the screws. The sensor does not sense metal until it is 0.8mmfrom it, so the error margin during this segment of the program is almost nonexistent

A particularly 10 striking example is a learning experience in a traditional signals and systems biomedical engineering class that required a cross discipline twist: producing a musical instrument from biological signals. The cross discipline induced constraints forced students to engage and dramatically learn from cross discipline subject matter experts. Other elements include the ability to learn from reflection, and being evaluated according to the metrics of the cross discipline vs. one’s own discipline. Cited references

This key reflects the lock’s bitting.The blank is placed in the lock, torque is applied, and the key is moved up and down againstthe pins; any pin at the improper height will be bound against the sides of the lock body andcylinder. This binding friction slightly marks the pins on the blank. The key is then removedfrom the lock, inspected for marks, and cut with a file where they are found. Cuts are madeone bit-depth at a time, and the process is repeated. This can be done for all pins in the lock atonce under normal circumstances.
