IntroductionBluetooth is a wireless communication standard/system operating in the 2.45 GHz ISM band with79 frequency channels. Bluetooth uses low-power and low-cost units employing frequencyhopping to make the system more robust. Devices exist in a dynamic master-slave relationship.There is only one master in every piconet (a piconet is a Bluetooth network). Upon entry to apiconet, the slave adjusts its clock to sync with the master’s and the master then determines thehopping sequence. These units can have a nominal 10 meter range or an extended 100 meter rangewhen amplified.Figure 1 provides an

But there is growing sentiment that 4 years is no longer sufficient time toproperly educate an engineer. Indeed the National Academy of Engineering has recommended thatthe first-professional degree be a Masters

This design becomes a multiple processorenvironment that has a single master which takes the control commands from a user and passesthe necessary control functions to an appropriate slave to perform the operations. With thisdesign concept, there will be virtually no limit on the number of slaves in the system. Theprevious limitations on a single CPU design are automatically resolved. Certainly, this approach requires a well planned software protocol design, and thehardware requirement becomes a fixed module that is less complex 8,13.

VIPs send commands and retrieve data frommeasurement equipment that is connected to devices under test (DUT) and provide a browser-based user interface for students.VIPs play two primary roles: (1) they provide connectivity between the measurementinstruments and the PC lab station and (2) they are embedded in web pages that are used bystudents to perform distance labs.

Bluetooth 2.0 has been designed to complement existing Bluetooth devices(backward compatible) and offers data transmission rates up to 2.1 Mbps [2]. Although Bluetooth is getting increasing popular one of the major limitations is a small bandwidth of 1 MHz.

We have designed three case studies to aid inour research study. The three case studies involve three assemblies: simple, intermediate, and complex. The four differentiatingcriteria of the three assembly models are the number of parts per assembly, the number of sketch planes required to create assemblyparts, total number of feature required to create all assembly part, and the number and type of features required to create a given part.The pencil represents a simple assembly.

This structure isbased on three degree cycles: Bachelors, Masters and Doctoral [1]. The structure is sometimesreferred to as the “3-5-8”-structure, with a 3-year bachelors program, a 2-year mastersprogram and a 3-year doctoral program.In several countries in Europe, traditional engineering professional degree programs of four tosix years existed long before the ambitions to create a uniform structure emerged. In somecountries, more academic oriented programs coexisted in parallel with the professionalprograms. At the moment, various countries and educational systems have

The equivalent full-time graduate enrollment in engineering increased regularly since 1994 but dropped from859.39 students in fall 1993 to 835.83 students in fall 1994, As for the situation regarding the rate of degrees awarded, it does not seem much more brighter. Certainly, therate of degrees awarded in fust cycle studies is more stable: the students study fill-time and have a more structuredand supervised development, which allows them to finish their studies in an almost identical lapse of time (9trimesters). But the situation is not the same for research master or doctorate students: many of them abandonduring their studies, those who persevere take a lot longer time than is desirable to obtain their degree.
