For example a 1 Mbpstransmission line experiencing an average usage of 500 Kbps is said to be 50 percent utilized 7.Network efficiency can be assessed by packet latency or the time it takes to deliver informationfrom sender to receiver 8. Networks will exhibit exponentially increasing latency, becoming lessefficient, as utilization approaches 60 to 70 percent.MethodologyThe concepts are studied using three questions evaluated pre-instruction and post-instruction.The terms “PRE” and “POST” are used in this discussion.

successfully performed two improvement points regardingABET accreditation. The first improvement is regarding the student outcomes and the secondimprovement is related to the ABET program criteria. The goal of this paper is to share theimprovement to avoid having weaknesses in computer engineering technology programs. ABETevaluators look for these points and emphasis the importance of an efficient assessment process.One main goal of the paper is to propose five rubrics that can be used to assess the ABETprogram criteria (a-e) for any computer engineering technology program.1. IntroductionThe computer engineering technology program at SUNY Poly developed eight student outcomesthat are mapped to both ABET student outcomes (a-k) and the ABET program

The labs werefirst used during the Spring Semester of 2011 and have been improved every year since then. Abrief description of each of the eight laboratory experiments, their respective objectives and theresults obtained by some of the students are discussed in this paper. Student assessments for thiscourse/lab are also presented. The feedback has been very positive and encouraging.1. IntroductionA course in electrical power / electrical

In this paper, the frameworkstructure of an asynchronous course and laboratory development for an automation control ispresented. The challenge in this development is to implement the hands-on laboratory experienceto those distance learning students who may not be able to access the real equipment. Results ofthe implementation including opinion feedbacks and grade distributions show that studentswelcome the format of this development.1.

Theconcept of GR&R being a methodology for analyzing measurement systems was first discussedbriefly in a lecture. The laboratory exercise was to use digital multimeters to measure theresistances of ten resistors with the same nominal resistance value. Students were divided intoteams to take turns to measure the resistances. After the data were taken, there were severaloptions for analysis of the data: 1. Using Minitab software 2.

. Manyhigher education institutions have been redesigning their courses and curriculums to meet theneeds of growing enrollments. This has resulted in a shift from traditional in-class teaching tohybrid or fully online teaching. Also, as the accessibility to Internet increases in the modern age,online education has quickly become a popular pedagogy [1-3]. Online course settings not only areable to offset the growing enrollment, they also offer several advantages over the traditional in-class teaching. One of the main advantages is the flexibility and accessibility of course materials.Both traditional and non-traditional students can have the flexibility of learning the materials attheir own time that do not conflict with their day-to-day activities.

Surveys showed that thiswas due to the fact that the laboratory experiments were topic specific and did not present asystem design approach which made it difficult for students who attempted to use thismicrocontroller [1]. A new platform, the C-Stamp microcontroller, was introduced as analternative for their design. This development boards provide a pre-assembled hardware platform,which include common peripheries in addition to programming libraries.
