consists of a series of waveformsoccurring in a repetitive order. These waveforms arise from a flat baseline called the isoelectricline. Any deflection from the isoelectric line denotes electrical activity.As seen in Figure 4, five major deflections on a normal EKG are designated by the letters P, Q,R, S, and T. One heart cycle is represented by a group of waveforms beginning with the P wave,followed by the QRS wave complex, and ending with the T wave. The P wave represents thedepolarization of the atria and is associated with their contraction. The ventricular activation isrepresented by the QRS complex. The T wave results from ventricular repolarization, which is arecovery of the ventricular muscle tissue to its resting state.Figure 5 depicts

introductory PLC concepts are relatively easy to find3-5. There areseveral web sites that provide free PLC information such as book chapters, programs fordownload, and online Q&A3,6,7. The Grand Valley State Michigan Tech has a free downloadablee-book3, 8. However, tutorials that provide opportunities for practice with feedback are harder tofind, and tutorials that adapt practice and feedback to the needs of individual learners appear tobe non-existent. Some web sites provide ladder logic editors free downloads3, 9 however, not allof these editors simulate program execution. A non-web-based commercial software LogixPro,available for low cost, provides a good PLC simulation environment and comes with variousanimations for various processes, such as

image to havea greater contrast, the students first converted the RGB (red, green, and blue components) colorimage to the YIQ (luminance channel and chrominance channels) format, and then equalized theluminance component Y (which contains 93% of signal energy) only. Notice that the colorcomponents I and Q were unchanged and left as they were. Next, the students repacked the Ychannel back to the YIQ format, and converted the equalized YIQ format back to its RGB colorformat as displayed in Figure 10b. The indexed-color image equalization and enhancement of thecolor image by equalizing each RGB color channel were conducted, respectively, and theircorresponding equalized effects were verified. a.

Flipped classroom technique seems to offer the opportunity toincrease the number of practice problems solved during lecture classes. In this study, the flippedclassroom technique has been implemented during four consecutive semesters in a FluidMechanics Class in an Engineering Technology Department. Lectures were recorded with theassistance of staff from the Center of Learning Technologies. The students were asked to watchrecorded lecture modules before the class time and classroom time was used for problem solving,discussions and Q/A sessions related to the material.

precursor to other design topics such as mechanical design andanalysis. Program management and systems engineering concepts and topics were also includedin the other courses that were identified. Although all of these topics are important, the eSETProgram’s goal was to focus exclusively on the product development life cycle and the processesused by industry to innovate, develop, support and terminate products within their companies. With the fundamental framework in place, the eSET team then contacted a number oflarge and small companies in the Dallas, Austin, Houston triangle to set up meetings and Q&Asessions about their product development processes. In addition to size variation, the team wasinterested in having input from a range of
selection based on the system’s natural frequency ofoscillations, the discretization of the plant, the effect of sampling period on the plant’s poles andzeros, and simulations of control designs in cascade (e.g., PID using Root Locus) and in full-state feedback configurations using pole placement formulas. In the course ELET 6342“Modern Control Systems Applications”, the discussion would instead move to the use of theLinear-Quadratic Regulator (LQR) formulation to design optimal controllers.
