base-current generator could be stabilized if long leads areused by adding an 0.01μF ceramic capacitor between the base and emitter of the BJT under test.This paper presents an inexpensive curve tracer module for determining the IV characteristics ofcommon electronic devices. It is intended for use with introductory courses in electronics and iscompatible with both standard laboratory equipment and with “lab-in-a-box” apparatus like theNational Instruments myDAQ. It is hoped that this device will prove itself useful to a wideaudience and be beneficial to students’ understanding of basic electronic device characteristics.References[1] M. Shwehdi, C.

for a greater diversity oftraining setups to be utilized in a smaller area.IntroductionIn order to effectively teach instrumentation, mechatronic and robotic courses in an Engineeringor Engineering Technology curriculum, a variety of electromechanical laboratory setups aredesirable. [1] Exposing students to an assortment of technologies is also desirable, to give themas broad an experience as is reasonable. Thus, setups containing different sensors, effectors andactuators and indicators are needed. Quite often, the cost of such laboratory setups (or trainers) ishigh, thereby challenging the desire to have numerous full setups.To broaden the students’ programming capabilities, many programs teach such courses acrossboth microcontroller and

separated for convenience ratherthan some requirement of mechanics. Constitutive stress-strain relationships can be skillfullyapplied in a numerical model developed using the finite element method or finite differencemethod to reasonably predict the behavior of soil and soil-structure interaction1; however, astudent needs to believe what they are seeing is “true” in order for the teaching tool to beeffective. Soil behavior previously observed in the field or in the laboratory can be expressed in avariety of ways including charts, as shown in Figure 1, and photographs, as shown in Figure 2.These ways of illustrating soil behavior can help student appraise the reasonableness of theories

againstcyber treats is education. According to Frost and Sullivan [7], a global shortage of 1.8 millioncybersecurity professionals is projected by 2022. U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics projected 37%of information security job growth from 2012 to 2022 and announced that more than 200,000cybersecurity jobs in U.S. are not filled every year.Education in cybersecurity draws more attention from K-12 to adult. Recently, U.S. Congresshas urged to develop high-quality educators to cybersecurity education [8]. Many researchersstudied teaching methodologies to maximize the student learning. One of the key components inengineering and science education is a laboratory-based course, which includes a practical hand-on exercise. Many academic institutes developed

For this experiment, the antenna andthe receiver were connected above each other on a wooden pole. Antenna height was fixed at 3.5feet from the ground. This set up has been shown in figure -3. When a tag is placed facing theantenna, its reading is taken for 20 seconds. All RFID readings are taken for to
