provides the componentsnecessary for each laboratory session. Every exercise is described in an instruction manual. Thenormal procedure for performing a single experiment is as follows: 1. The student forms the circuit specified in the laboratory instruction manual using the breadboard and some of the components provided. The instruments are connected to test points. 2. The instructor checks the circuit formed to avoid possible damage. If the circuit is harmless the student is allowed to go on and activate the voltage source. 3. The student reads the instruments and evaluates the results. If they are acceptable s/he

instructors can be moreefficient and more effective with their course websites by focusing on the basic coursemanagement features that students want while at the same time eliminating or reducing the moretime consuming content students do not typically use. Instructors creating or maintainingsupplemental course websites might be advised to start with the basics and build from there withperiodic feedback from students. In terms of website content, more is not always better.1 Chen, J., Ellis, M., Lockhart, J., Hamoush, S., Brawner, C., and Tront, J, “Technology in Engineering Education:What Do the Faculty Know and Want?” Journal of Engineering Education, July 2000, pp. 279-283.2 Dutton, J., Dutton, M., and Perry, J, “Do Online Students Perform as

(Takes about10-60 seconds over the Internet and less than 2 seconds when locally installed). Like Maxwell's demon, this custom calculator is a thermodynamic wizard that takes careof the menial task of a solution. The core of every daemon is its robust state calculator, whichbundles an extended state (p, T, u, h, e, s etc.) into a single graphical interface called a State.

American universities, Academic freedom and tenure are two sides of thesame coin. The current view of tenure was established in 1940 when the American Associationof University Professors (AAUP) and American Association of Colleges (AAC) officiallysanctioned it for purpose of preserving faculty` s right to academic freedom. Legally, it assuresfaculty the right to pursue any line of inquiry in the course of their teaching or researchwithout being censored, penalized or fired by university administrators. In 1973, theCommission on Academic Tenure in Higher Education (jointly sponsored by the AAUP andAAC) recommended that ‘adequate cause in faculty dismissal proceedings should be restrictedto (a) demonstrated incompetence and dishonesty in teaching

It has its origin in biology and the study of human behavior rather thanphysical phenomena. More concisely, the functioning of the system in the goal-seekingparadigm is represented by two items: goal(s) of the system; and the processes which thesystem possesses to pursue these goals and to respond to the influences from theenvironment.
