By the 1970’s thegraduates were beginning to find more and more success with aerospace companies inmanufacturing and maintenance management positions. By the 1990’s over half of the graduateswere finding careers with major aerospace design companies and performing duties inengineering support. By 2010, the graduates were finding leadership positions across aviationand aerospace in positions ranging from maintenance development to program management ofengineering programs. Also by 2010, graduates had begun finding opportunities in

the facility to select, by the teacher, the 2-input gate under study and the method to excite the logic gate inputs. It was desired to make the learning tool fun with an innovative method, to change the gate input logic level, which would mimic a “magic show”. Figure 1 shows the typical usage of the device. As seen in Figure 1, top-left image, the light falling on two photo-resistors is translated, using an electronic circuit, into logic 0, which is then applied to the gate-under-test housed in a separate digital circuit unit. Blocking the light, by using hands, one can apply logic 1 to either one or both, the gate input/s. Depending on the gate-under-test, the LED matrix will light up for one of the four possible

Suchexperiments are typically found in curricula at both 4-year universities and 2-year colleges andare sometimes performed as part of an experimental sequence in physics courses as well. Inmany cases, they are part of a first or second course in electrical and computer engineering andall too frequently are presented in a somewhat superficial manner. Furthermore, the transformeris often assembled in an ad hoc fashion, and students are advised to be aware of safety

There is a real danger of inadvertent disclosure and access to project information must be controlled. Most tier 2+ schools are not initially prepared to accommodate the restrictions and provide the security required. The only way these can be safely done is at a separately controlled area. Additionally, there are usually restrictions on presentation, publication and review.Projects done at the sponsoring company’s facilities.

It also provides insight into some complicated, yetcritical, relationships that impact both teacher and student persistence in schools in Indiancountry. Further research on pre-service and in-service teacher development that highlights andleverages the strengths of the American Indian culture in an effort to engage youth and theirfamilies in academic endeavors should be conducted.
