Latest advances insoftware development by National Instruments allow secure, effective and efficient use ofLabVIEW-based front panel in server-client environment. The portions of the system describedin this paper are built and tested but were not yet used in actual on-line learning.Bibliography1.

with ultimate allowable forces in tension (Tu (#)), compression (Cu (#)), and bending (Mu (in-#)) also indicated.The fourth step is to shift our analysis from the JHU software to a commercial software package,ModelSmart. This software package incorporates the strengths for the different elements intension, compression (buckling) and bending, assuming they are made of balsa wood. It alsoallows the user to choose between three element sizes to adjust the load bearing capacity asneeded. The allowable truss members are all square, with dimensions of 0.125 inches, 0.187inches, and 0.250 inches. The span for the truss bridge is specified to be 15 inches and theloading point(s) is varied from semester to semester to prevent students from

Further developmentis needed, especially in the case where AC signals are to be generated and measured. To improvethe delivery of electronics education for off-campus studies, we propose to develop a web site‘companion’ for the kits, and additional hardware devices to allow students to perform real ACexperiments at home.AcknowledgementsThe authors thank S.

Librarians shouldbe paying attention not only to developing partnering arrangements and improving their library-based instructional programming, they should also be improving the user (electronic) interface tobetter accommodate the delivery of ethics education.4Information LiteracyA popular concept in the library community since the late 1980’s has been the idea ofinformation literacy. While a person may be ‘literate’ and have an ability to read, an‘information literate’ person appropriately incorporates critical thinking skills in mentallyprocessing the material.

. The wind tunnel consists of a contracting inlet with flow straighteninghoneycomb followed by a plexiglas test section. Downstream of the test section is aslowly diverging diffuser and a fan that draws the flow through the tunnel. Directlyupstream of the fan is a screen to protect the fan blades from any solid objects that traveldownstream during tunnel operation. The maximum tunnel velocity is 26 m/s. Thisvelocity is not large enough to cover the entire Reynolds number range desired, but islarge enough to illustrate the drop in the drag coefficient of the golf ball once theReynolds number gets large enough that the flow becomes turbulent.To illustrate this concept a smooth wooden ball of similar size to the golf ball was used tosimulate the

Each campus organized and hostedone teleconference. The teleconferences featured a speaker or speakers who focused on studentlearning. The intention was to have the featured speaker make a presentation and then answerquestions from all four campuses. Following the multi-campus session, the host campus had aface-to-face, interactive discussion with the speaker. Table 4. Teleconference topics and speakers for the 2001-2002 NFTS group.
