The system discussed here avoids these problems by requiring only a littlescripting on behalf of the author, and a user with a web-browser with JavaScript.IntroductionThe system described in this paper easily allows a user to create web-based animations of linearsystems while requiring no web-programming experience.. S/he simply writes a simple script.The system is described mathematically by using a state-space model (i.e, A, B, C and Dmatrices) with initial conditions and optional input functions. The drawing to be animated isdescribed in terms of graphics primitives such as masses, springs, resistors, and capacitors.System

This included 12 Mac Mini workstations, 1224-inch Dell LCD widescreen monitors, 12 iPod Touch devices, and 3 iPad tablet devices. Totalcost could have been reduced by approximately $3,000 by using existing computer monitors.Necessary funding was realized through two sources: an unrestricted gift from ArcelorMittal;and some funds from our department’s annual Supply and Expense (S&E) fund.Fall

for the robot. In order to test the dynamic scripts, a fault hadto be artificially introduced into the system. This was accomplished by interrupting the robotexecution of the script, removing ball(s) from the environment, and then informing the script ofthe fault. This need to create a fault was due to the conservative behavior of the robot. Thisbehavior was necessary due to hardware limitations such as a limited accuracy of the visionsystem, and communication delays. Page 15.1045.5Baseline ScriptsThree baseline scripts were created and carried out. The reason for this was to determine if thetask could be successfully completed in less than
shorter period ofthe micro-controller application course and, at the same time, achieve higher efficiency inteaching the course. The scores of the students are obviously elevated when the presentedteaching approach is applied.AcknowledgementThis work was supported by the National Science Council of Taiwan for financial support undercontract number NSC 94-2516-S-131-001.

Aggregate number of usersConcluding RemarksClassroom Presenter Viability. Readers should keep in mind that several of these tests wereconducted in worst-case situations. For example, it is highly unlikely that all student machineswould download or upload slides simultaneously, as in Test 1 and 5. Test 3 provided worst casescenarios of CP3’s real-time broadcast implementation. From Table 1 in the Appendix, we seethat the students’ machines took four additional seconds to display all vertical ink strokes duringTest 3A, and three additional seconds to display a continuous line during Test 3B. Feedbackfrom students indicated that this was a very much worst-case situation which only occurred onless than 5% of the student client machines. Most students
students having the sameprogramming language, let alone a uniform programming experience. To complicate mattersfurther many of our students took their introductory programming course at regional communitycolleges. It has been observed that anyone foolish enough to make a programming assignmentalmost surely risks lowering their course evaluation. Borrowing an idiom “the more computingchanges, the more the introductory programming course remains the same.” Can theintroductory programming course be changed to render it more beneficial both to the studentsand the faculty? Can we identify a rationale that allows us to create a more relevant computingexperience? In this paper we make several s regarding the computing experience for engineersand suggest

Page 25.472.6[5]. Running a CAD package on a provider’s server(s) through the cloud and paying a smallfraction of the original license fee on a pay-as-you-go usage basis is certainly appealing. Inaddition, time and cost intensive software updates and maintenance issues are out of the pictureas well. On the downside, it is obvious that an internal local area network connection allowssignificantly faster data transfer rates than an Internet connection. In addition, rendering CADdata can be very demanding in terms of computing power and over the Internet one mayexperience a slight lag in response time. Whether or not the lag is tolerable will depend on thevarious usage scenarios. While it may be perfectly acceptable in a CAD training environment
