-ical alternative is a Computer Science degree program with no ABET accreditation at all. On theopposite end of the spectrum is the ABET status quo, with a fully accredited degree program. Ateach alternative level of the spectrum, the paper discusses the pros and cons relevant to that level.Where appropriate, the paper makes concrete experience-based suggestions for how specificaspects of the accreditation process could be improved.1. IntroductionABET (the Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology) is a large and very well knownagency for the accreditation of post-secondary degrees. At present, ABET accredits approxi-mately 3,700 programs at over 750 colleges and universities in 30 countries [3]. Computer sci-ence and software

Electronic Engineering Technology (EET) program called“Embedded Microprocessors System”.1- IntroductionThere are a number of strategies for correcting output errors. In order to measurethe error, you need to know both the current measurement and the correctmeasurement. The correct measurement is known as the set point. Obtaining thecurrent measurement involves a sensor. Typically, a sensor's job is to receive aninput. A motion sensor on an alarm system receives an input when the infraredbeam is broken. This causes the controller to sound the alarm. Most systemscorrect errors using feedback: the output of the system is fed back into the sensoras an input. The sensor measures the current state of its own system. The currentstate is also known as the
sensor network routing and security.
