Theenrollment for the IET department during the 1960’s began to increase, especially in IndustrialEducation as the biggest program, due to post war economy and close recessions during the yearsof 1953 through 1961 12

Of 104 ABET- accredited 2-year ET programs, over a third are at those same 100 4-year colleges. Most original (1950’s) 2-year College ET programs were in Mid-Atlantic & Great Lakes states. c) The average ET program enrolls fewer students than the average Engineering program; also, each Engineering School has more recognized or accredited programs (usually several) than each College with ET programs (often just 1 or 2 accredited ET programs, with few offered anywhere beyond

A common example being counterfeit cell phone batteries that may pose aperformance and safety concern.

interestedreader can download a sample lesson outline and associated PowerPoint slides.IntroductionFor the purpose of this paper, timing jitter is defined as “the phenomenon seen when a digitalwaveform’s transition appears before or after the expected time.”1 When jitter displaces thesignal’s transition so much that it happens in an adjacent clock cycle, the result is a data error onthe bus. Because of the high speeds and compact designs of today’s systems, jitter that used tobe negligible is now very significant, and can prevent a system from working correctly.1Today’s designers need the ability to analyze jitter, trace its root cause(s), and mitigate oreliminate the cause(s).In order to effectively analyze jitter, one must understand its nature, the

) codes demonstrate high performance capabilities, arbitrarily close to the Shannon limit,and are becoming feasible with today’s processing technology [10]. LDPC codes are founded onbasic linear-algebra principles. In this paper math is performed in the binary subspace of real-numbers, and hence addition and multiplication are performed in base 2, e.g. addition becomesthe XOR operation, and multiplication becomes the AND operation. LDPC codes utilize a sparsebinary parity-check matrix, H, with dimensions M×N. Matrix H can be either regular, meaningthat there are a specific number of 1’s per row and column, or irregular, in which there may ormay not be a constraint on the number of 1’s.
