temperature is to place sensors in individual rooms. Thesearch temperature transducer is the Analog devices AN22000. The AN22000’s onboard signalconditioning and linear output make it an ideal sensor for this application.Conversion from the linear output of the AN22000 into an 8 bit binary number wasaccomplished by an Analog-to-Digital converter.The design of the chassis was intended to be a miniature card cage, however in the prototypestage bus connections were made by a much more bulky 60-pin IDE cable. Addressing of eachcard was performed by manual jumper manipulation.As configured, the system accepts input from four sensors, three of which are located on theinside of the house, one on the outside. The three inside sensors are averaged, and

A typical project mayconsist of transforming an idea or a concept into a design, prototype and an actual manufacturingsystem for producing the product. The deliverables typically include documentation of alldesigns, cost analyses, prototype(s), and in some cases a limited production run.5.0 Competency Gaps AddressedThe MLC provides experiences for students that helps to close four of the five criticalprofessional competency gaps and all five

In most engineering schools, this task falls into the hands ofthe lab graduate teaching assistant. Not only is the lab teaching assistant often a new graduatestudent, but due to the current demographics of higher education in engineering in the U.S., s/heis also is likely to be an international student and a non-native speaker of English.
