letter explaining the research project thatwas beginning at Monsanto. Rogers threw the letter in the garbage, but after some prompting from hiswife, he called Jaworski back and was soon part of the team. The final member of the team, Robert Horsch, was looking for a research career. He was doingpost doc research at the University of Saskatchewan. Researchers suggested contacting Jaworski becausehe had connection to University and supported its programs. Jaworski’s group was first temporarily housed in the new biotechnology laboratories on the fourthfloor of “U” Building at Creve Coeur campus in 1981. In the same year his group started with 36 members.Later, they increased to more than 100 people housed in a $150 million modern

other devices have an embedded, commercially available OS allowing different models tohave the same base OS. If development tools exist, developers should find porting anapplication to a different device using the same OS far easier than to one using a completelydifferent OS. This paper examines issues for the development of an operating systems’courselaboratory assignment using a commercial OS. The embedded system platform that is targetedfor this laboratory assignment is a H/PC device using the Microsoft Windows CE operatingsystem. Commercial developer’s tools for these platforms and environments from Microsoftare used. The primary software result of this assignment is to develop parts of an application thatare used to create a time

Cincinnati, College of Engineering. This survey used the same formatand gathered results for 10 distinct disciplines in the undergraduate program. Canale & Duwartconducted parallel studies at Northeastern University. Results from both sets of studies areconsistent. They indicate that the students’ perceptions of the learning that occurred throughcooperative education has a direct and significant impact on their development in the elevenABET attributes. Within all engineering disciplines surveyed, and without special treatment,cooperative education shows itself to be a strong partner, along with traditional academiccoursework and laboratories, in the development of these attributes in the engineering graduate.The authors propose that colleges who

but has been used in both Statics and Dynamics as well.Engineering Design III at BCC is a one-credit, three-hour laboratory format class offered intraditional and ASL mode. The course is a required core curriculum course usually taken in the1st semester of the 2nd year. Although formal instruction is presented on the “design process”using a traditional design text, most of the class focuses on two class projects that requireconsiderable development of SDL skills to be completed successfully. Although, the topics forthe projects vary, the overall themes require a “paper” application of the design process to abiological science field and a “working model” that requires an integrated application ofelectrical/mechanical systems at the appropriate

fact that individual portfolioentries are not scored by the instructor. It is the entire body of work that is judged, and part of theevaluation process is performed with both student and instructor looking together at the portfolio.Another effective method for combating plagiarism is the use of the closed laboratory session,where the instructor is present in the lab and interacts with the students. It is rather difficult toperform an act of plagiarism while under the instructor's direct supervision. It is not necessaryfor all programming sessions to be conducted in this manner; an occasional closed laboratorysession or two is sufficient to discourage this type of plagiarism. Having short conversationswith one's students regarding their

not fixed, and they are also temperaturedependent. Thus, there is no point of using a complicated model in this particular design, especiallywhen the accuracy of the transistor parameters are not available. The best that one can hope for is touse the typical values of parameters from the manufacturer data sheets.Thus, it can take a lot more time to design a transistor circuit using the other two models.The re-model makes the design simple and straight forward. Although the voltage gain accuracy isaround 20% to 30% compared to the actual circuit voltage gain. From experience, time is better spent in the laboratory for re-designing and tweaking the values of the resistors, such that the designperformance specifications are met. b) The

mid-years, the student is expected to gain anunderstanding of how and when to use the theories and concepts learned. In the last years of theprogram the student is expected to become competent in applying the theories and concepts tothe solution of engineering problems.Achievement of learning objectives will focus on whether a student has gained the intended levelof ability with each objective in each semester. Not all of the learning objectives will necessarilybe addressed in each semester. Students will develop a portfolio of work examples, includingtests, papers, reports, laboratory reports, projects, etc., which, by the grades and or commentsprovided by the Professors, demonstrate achievement at the required level.There are two sets of

progress, they are differentfunctions from that of technological innovation. However, strategic research serves a different purpose than doesbasic academic research. Strategic research is often technology project-driven rather than curiosity-driven. Itspurpose is also to gain a better understanding of phenomena when new knowledge is needed to solve fundamentalscientific problems related to products, processes, systems, and operations. As Cauffman, chief scientist at theDepartment of Energy’s Idaho National Engineering and Environmental Laboratory, stated: “… A lot of thefundamental work today is driven by a need … but it is still an effort to understand the fundamental way thingsinteract.” 52.5 Recognizing that Graduate Engineers in Industry
