All programming code is written in SUN 'C' using the Sense8 WorldToolkit library calls.Sense8's WorldToolkit (WTK 2.1) is a very powerful, easy to use, object oriented package of 'C'programming function calls for visual simulation and virtual reality applications. WorldToolkit's high-level application programmer's interface (API) allows students to prototype applications quickly andreconfigure them on the fly. WTK also supports many vendor's virtual reality devices and has devicedrivers built in to the package

The response is returned to theclient via the same network module that passed the data to the server. A loop in the CGI perlprogram reads the data from the server until it reads a termination or EOF character from theserver. The received data is then packaged into HTML code and finally given to the web clientfor display.Like the first project simplicity was our primary goal. The instructor supplied the complete codefor a simple application wherein the server just echoes the client data. It consists of a sampleHTML module, a corresponding CGI module and a server

let's look at how research became overemphasized. Let's investigate the origin of thiscause. I think there are several interrelated reasons for this overemphasis, which I offer below. 1. Many research type faculty come to universities because they can do research in thearea(s) of their choice, free of the restrictions they would encounter in an industrial or researchlaboratory environment. They do not come to teach, develop, and guide students. In many casesthey cannot even cope with an industrial environment, or perhaps a university is the only placewhere they can find employment. Again, they did not come to teach. Consequently, theysupport, consciously or subconsciously, the idea that research is an essential part of a facultymembers
