organization are an additional burden against gross revenue thatresults in a reduced profit/residual to the academic department(s); the home department foradministered academic programs.Coupling the need for controlling overhead rates with the theoretical employment vulnerabilitiesof being employed in a self-funded administrative organization, it is even more important thatemployment growth capitalizes on individual knowledge, skills and capacity for growth withineach specific individual context. The manifestation of this theory and practice is twofold: to freesenior employees to perform those many activities requiring their advanced knowledge and skillset, and, to fill open opportunities for employment at the lowest levels of the organization.Filling

In this field of graphics and design, which is more linked to STEM education, there are testsuch as the Purdue Spatial Visualization Test – Rotations1 (PSVT:R), the Mental Cutting Test10(MCT), and Shepard-Metzler Rotation9 (S-M) Test and its modification12. The underlyingconcept in these tests is the mental rotation of 3D objects. PSVT:R is perhaps one of the mostcommonly used test, and after its initial development in 1977, there have been reports aboutimprovements and expansion of tests for spatial visualization and spatial orientation.

students use the proper solution technique with the correct equation(s), theywill still get an incorrect answer if the property values are wrong. It is believed that spending asufficient amount of time to teach this skill is very beneficial to the students and necessary forsuccess in both thermodynamics courses. Thermodynamics I looks at the primary laws of thermodynamics and some additionalconservation equations along with the application of these when analyzing various processes andcycles. Although the zeroth law is critical in measuring temperature, it is only given a trivialamount of coverage due to its simplicity and the fact that it is not actually used in the analysis ofthermodynamic systems. The first law of thermodynamics examines

project– one that not only exercised the capabilities of the microcontroller, but also related to their ownfield(s) of endeavor. These team proposals were then evaluated and adjusted based on a) whetherthe project was too trivial; b) whether the project was overly complex for the scope of the course;and c) whether (hardware) resources were available to fulfill the project.Team projects make use of sensors and actuators that the students have had to identify during theplanning phase. Each team is in charge of its project design with the advice of the lab assistantsand the instructor. As part of the project, each team had to become familiar with sources forsensors or components for their projects. The predominant source of such components
