a zoom account in which we setup the meeting links andthen provided the evaluator with the shared login credentials. (Appendix 5 shows the logistics ofusing the all-day Zoom links for both single-evaluator and multi-evaluator meetings).We distributed Zoom links on campus via Outlook calendar invites. We also had one of our officestaff available with a master list of links. We setup a spare office for anyone on campus experiencingequipment failure.Key Lessons Learned for Zoom Virtual Meetings: • Switch internal meetings to the ABET required platform weeks in advance to gain familiarity • Specify all virtual visit meetings will use the same meeting system (such as Zoom) and ask evaluators to provide meeting links well in advance

The challenges arise from the need to interpolate, theneed to identify the correct region, and the requisite familiarity with property trends. The use ofsteam tables to retrieve thermodynamic
information from either wired or wireless sensors is sent to the master node of thesystem. Access time is the time it takes the master node to retrieve data from the connectedsensor. Propagation time is also referred to as propagation delay because it is classified as theamount of time it takes for the information signal to travel from the sender to the receiver.Lastly, receive time is the time it takes for the master node, to receive and graph the datareceived from the sensor, either wired or wireless. The sum of all these times is called the offsetbetween the two nodes. If the offset can be measured, then time synchronization can be achieved.To achieve this goal, the so-called Unix time is utilized. Unix time, measured in milliseconds(ms), is

improved eight-member swarm is under development by this design group. The group’s focus is to improve communication among swarm members, upgrade software, and improve mechanical reliability.Experimental MethodologyThe initial experiment, conducted in the fall of 2006, aimed to improve self-efficacy among RSTmembers by requiring every member to undertake a mastery project exercise. Successfulcompletion of this project would address Bandura’s first principle. Another goal was to assessthe RST environment in view of Bandura’s three social/psychological principles 2-4 above. Onepremise was that development of area masters would enhance horizontal restructuring of theRST while maintaining the vertical project group structure
any online student’s home can meet theseminimum requirements. Therefore online students are able to conduct these computernetwork laboratories from their homes and accomplish all the tasks independently withproper plans and instructions.3.1 Network Basics and Connectivity TestingThe physical linkages of a network continue to be the most neglected components inmany computer network laboratories [9] [10]. However in reality many network-relatedproblems result from poor cabling. In order to address this issue and train students’practical problem solving ability, students are first instructed to make a UTP cable beforelearning to build a reliable, efficient, and cost-effective network cabling infrastructure.After they master these techniques

The authorspresent a setup where a subject is presented with a number of artifacts such as a broom, a keyring, a chair, duct tape etc and then asked to perform a task with the equipment, such asretrieving the key ring without crossing a line on the floor. When performing the exercise withstudents, the authors show that the number of artifacts relates to the time it requires the subject toperform the task. Typically, a subject being given only the broom and few other tools are muchquicker at mastering the task than a subject given more tools.In their analysis, which provides a base for a following reflection with the subjects, involves boththe need for a structured methodology versus a large number of tools, the need to master thetools

Furthermore, having an additional course inthe same area as their field of interest will provide them with sufficient time to accomplish ascholarly work. Consequently, such courses will better equip them for post graduation career inthe today’s competitive world.MS Tech Program at IPFWThe Master of Science in Technology at the Indiana University Purdue University Fort Wayne(IPFW) was formally launched in the Spring Semester of 2007 with an enrollment of six fulltimes students.

done with school and get out into the ‘real world’and have a ‘real job.’ For civil engineers the trouble with this attitude is that it is not consistentwith the pre-licensure philosophy and requirements outlined by ASCE Policy Statement 465.PS465 proposes that aspiring engineers attain the pre-licensure Body of Knowledge (BOK)through a combination of a baccalaureate civil engineering degree, a masters degree (or theequivalent of 30 coordinated graduate level semester credits) and appropriate experience1. Wecan show, brief, teach, and inculcate this philosophy, but our students are still going to want toend their baccalaureate education and start their ‘real’ experience. In response, the authorsrestructured their program’s capstone design

Preliminary results fromusing this pedagogy will be presented along with implementation attractors and detractors.IntroductionThe motivation for offering an integrated, inter-departmental applied undergraduate physics-engineering curriculum at UST is shaped by the goal of providing graduates with a practical skillset that is attractive and useful to prospective employers. Experience has shown that excellencein mastering E&M theory does not directly translate into competence with E&M metrology orlaboratory practices. Since a majority of the UST engineering and physics students that graduatego directly into the work force, these observations motivate several questions
