description of Rose-HulmanInstitute of Technology. Using the concepts developed in the section on theorganizational culture in higher education, we next describe some elements of theorganizational culture at Rose-Hulman. The next two sections describe the processesthrough which the freshman and sophomore curricula were conceived, designed, andimplemented. We then discuss these change processes from a cultural perspective andconclude with recommendations for those attempting change in the future.Organizational Culture in Higher EducationThe concept of organizational culture became popular during the OD (organizationaldevelopment) movement in the 1980’s, gaining exposure in popular books like Peter’sand Waterman “In Search of Excellence.15” The concept

Itshould be noted there was little or no disagreement as to the final paper grades.NOTE: A “Guided Leadership Analysis” form specifically designed to assist students inidentifying the leadership characteristics and traits of the main characters in the film(s)will be available at the session. It can be used by faculty at other universities if they wantto try this approach to teach leadership.ConclusionsOverall this novel approach to writing a term paper on the subject of leadershipcharacteristics and traits of the main character of a film was well received by the students.Since students generally enjoy watching movies, they embraced the concept of what wasbeing

For example, if it outputs 5-bit words, the 2’s complementvalues 10000 to 01111 can represent -1 to +1. If an analog output is required, the DDS presentsthese samples to a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) and a low-pass filter to obtain an analogwaveform with the specific frequency structure. Samples are also commonly used directly in thedigital domain. A look-up table can store uniformly spaced samples of a cosine and a sine wave,representing a single cycle and corresponding to specific values of the phase argument.The output frequency of the DDS waveform is a

The lab instructor would thendemonstrate the proper operation of the machines to each group of 3 students. Each module wasperformed by a group of 3 students during which they would each manufacture small pre-designed projects as a demonstration of their understanding of each process.
