The project’s objectives were articulated to the students through aseries of assigned questions related to the rotation of the designed physical model.Students had to make assumptions, complete analytical calculations, and discuss therelationship(s) between their theoretical values and experiential data.Project reports plus pre- and post- project surveys were collected from each group afterthree-weeks’ work. In the report and the surveys, students’ comments reflected theirviews about this project-based learning. The corresponding learning outcome results havebeen assessed, as well.Students at Purdue University Kokomo campus are commuters. The typical

The inductor current iL and the capacitor voltage vC are the two variables which usually serve asthe control of diode or diode network.If there is only one time-based switch S, the converter operation comprises of two circuit modes: one when theswitch is turned on and the other when the switch is turned off. If there are two time-based switches S1 and S2, theconverter operation may comprise of four circuit modes. If one switch S1 is time based and the other S2 is based onthe circuit conditions such as the current inversion or the polarity inversion of a voltage, the converter operation mayconsist of two, three or four circuit modes.Each circuit mode is

Basic S`tatistical ParametersTo validate and get basic information from any data set, the fundamental three statisticalparameters (mean, median and standard deviation) are used in any field.Mean: It indicates the average of set of data points. To introduce this parameter usage and itsimportance to the students, in this experiment, the pressure sensor reading was measured 5 timesat the same PSI value.

The studentgained positive points when s/he successfully attacked someone’s VM or configured his/her owndefense VM; on the contrary, the student got negative points when s/he did not prevent an attackfrom others or failed to configure his/her own defense VM.

One improvement that wasmade to this method during the mid 1900’s was to replace the metal sheet with a sheet ofconductive paper with a lower conductivity2. This method is still in use today. In fact,several educational companies, including Pasco3 sell equipment to run this kind ofexperiment. By using either metal or more recently paper, two-dimensional potentialfields can be plotted. Advantages of using conductive paper include lower conductivitythan metal and readily available supplies of the paper. A disadvantage is that theconductivity of the paper is often inconsistent causing errors in the field.Another device

When Motorola spin off their microprocessor division to Freescale Inc., 5 the68HC11 EVB became very hard to obtain. The alternative EVB made by Axiom is moreexpensive. 1 Another draw back is that the alternative board has limited functions as comparedto the original Motorola 68HC11 EVB.1,9 In order to extend the use of the 68HC11 EVB and keep
