sequential slides in a PP show cannot be displayed in a row or column. There is no flexibility in PP for printing five slides on one page, two on the second page, three across the width of a third, with strategically planned whitespace. 6. Homework assignments were limited to what would fit easily on a slide, which made it difficult to assign wordy problems, or problems using graphs or pictures. 7. Supplemental handouts, such as Figure 1, were stapled to the end of the PP handout, not in the order of discussion during the class. The only way to insert this material within a PP printout is to create a new slide within the PP show. The solution to all of these problems was to import figures, tables, graphs, and text

One solution well suited to this problem is the use ofparallel processing to reduce computation time. An effort to adapt this software to a parallel-processor system is currently underway by the co-author as a two semester Senior DesignProject.Instructor’s Notes: This project is suitable for student research in a 10 week, 40 hours/weektimeframe. Approximately three weeks should be planned for the design of the user interfacethat establishes the habitat and fauna, sets initial conditions and performance parameters, reportsintermediate results and displays final circuitry and analyses.

The students were made aware of thefact that a designer had to choose the material best suited for the specific situation from a vastmenu of materials. The material selection decision could be effectively performed usingAshby’s book [3] and elements from the Cambridge Engineering Selector [4]. The software CESEduPack[4] was not used, but was planned to be used the next offering of the course. To establishthe rational way of material selection, the concept of the material indices as discussed in Ashby’s Page 26.265.4text [3] was briefly mentioned. These indices

From the first day of class,teams work together to set goals, plan experiments, acquire and interpret information, anddevelop skills and understandings. In addition, the instructor encourages collaboration on allhomework assignments.

Written feedback onstudent evaluations have indicated that, in general, most students enjoy learning about thetechnologies and working on the projects. Students also recognize and appreciate the fact thatthe fundamental material is repeated in the modules helping them see it from differentperspectives and understand it at a deeper level. Negative comments indicate some students arebothered by not following the textbook order and having to learn extra material outside of thetext. Extensive quantitative assessment is planned for the 2006-2007
