These approaches are explained in Table 2. Power levelswere specified as a percentage of the user-defined maximum input into the Sycon controller.Observations and Experimental FindingsMethod 1: Manual Linear IncreaseWith this method, the general trend was long deposition times of 30 minutes or more, lowdeposition rates (typically below 5 Å/s), and poor reproducibility.

Today, linear motors are capable of achieving speeds up to 5 m/s(3 m/s average), and sub-micron accuracy1, 2. In railway transportation, linear motors are used inmagnetic levitation (maglev) train systems allowing achievement of high speeds unattainable byconventional trains3. However, most textbooks on electrical machines for undergraduateengineering students either do not cover linear motors at all or provide only a cursory coverageof the topic4.Since, in general, linear motors with accompanying controllers are expensive; their use inengineering education was fairly limited. Atencia et al.5 designed a low cost linear inductionmotor that can be used for

Heavy Rotor Schematic using NdFeB permanent magnet material laminated in the Silicon Hub with electro-deposited Ni80-Fe20.Electrodeposition of Permalloy Ni80Fe20Electrodeposition is the process used in electroplating, whereas electroplating is the process ofusing electrical current to reduce metal cations—an atom or group of atoms carrying a positivecharge—in a solution and coat a conductive object with a thin layer of metal2. The primaryapplication of electroplating is to deposit layer(s) of a metal having some desired property(example, abrasion and wear resistance, corrosion protection, lubricity, improvement of aestheticqualities, magnetic, etc.) onto a surface lacking that property.

Professional Development (ECPD and today’s ABET)quickly implemented changes that resulted in a shift from the practical aspects of engineeringthat were taught in the laboratory to an increased emphasis on theory and basic science.2In the 1970’s with the completion of the moon mission and the cancellation of major engineeringprojects such as the supersonic transport, engineering education saw a significant decline infunding and as a result, many schools reduced laboratory requirements to save money. At thesame time, industry demanded more practical skills and in response, many education institutionsdeveloped technology programs. The boundaries between engineers and technologist becameblurred and so ECPD began to accredit two and four year programs

For a simple client like the Arduino there seems to be no way to check the IPaddress assigned by the network, it can only respond to the IP address pre-assigned in its code.To resolve this problem, the team met again with the campus network administrators whothankfully agreed to allocating a static IP address to the Arduino’ s Wi-Fi card.Wi-Fi Connectivity Sequence ChartThe student tasked with wireless connectivity and information logging had no prior knowledgeof wireless
