A dialog box will appear to remind you that the microcontroller board should be in “bootstrap” mode. 4. Click OK when you are sure the board has been properly reset as described in step 1. This should start communication between the PC and the microcontroller board. 5. Click on the Bank Utilities tab.

manufacturing in the US hasdeclined slightly, partly due to lower labor costs in international markets and the shift in the early90’s to the information technology sector. One way of addressing these shortfalls is to providemanufacturing engineering education aggressively at all levels of education and to as manyschools as possible. However many states cannot achieve this because of limited resources andlack of access to expensive facilities required to provide such curriculums.The demand for qualified engineers and technologists continues to increase in the U.S. despitethe fact that the rate of graduation of students in these areas has been declining since 19901 - 3.According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the projected demand for skilled

. Hoover was a prolific (and sometimes eloquent) writer—often more coherent than like-minded contemporaries, such as Arthur Morgan. As engineering educators, we should befamiliar with two of his more important political tracts: American Individualism (1922) and TheChallenge to Liberty (1934). We should also be familiar with the first volume (of three) of hisMemoirs: Years of Adventure (1952). George H. Nash wrote an excellent, multi-volumebiography, the first volume of which, The Life of Herbert Hoover: The Engineer (1983) bears onHoover’s engineering career. Finally, the eighth chapter of Edwin T.

However, research on the effects ofteaching scientific genres of communication has been less well documented.2 In our work, weattempt to understand how learning to write scientific genres of communication can improve theacquisition of
