This type of model can be easilycustomized and adopted by different engineering technology programs of peerinstitutions, especially those with diverse student body. Similar pattern can also beadopted by four-year mechanical and electrical technology programs to upgrade existinginstrumentation and control courses.Bibliography1. Wepfer, W J.

Control of the IDMA port is achieved through an internal register mapped into DM(0x3FE0) accessible to both the ADSP-2181and the host device (80C552). In this application, only the 80C552 host accesses this register. Data transfer through the IDMA port takes place via the 16- bit IDMA port address/data bus and is controlled using the handshaking signals listed in table 1 below.

measurement. Further, it is also possible that a metric/method that adequatelymeasures a particular outcome in question does not exist. In this case, by triangulating differentmethods and metrics, one obtains multiple surrogates for the real measure of the outcome, thusproviding a much needed anchor measure where none exists.Once results from triangulation have been obtained, statistical methods may be used to determinethe relationships among the various metrics. If there is strong correlation among the metrics,then the use of multiple measures may be reduced. Those metrics/measures that are moreefficient and cost effective could then be used to routinely assess students’ progress on anoutcome(s). The more in-depth, and often more costly metrics

Only engineerswho have received training or exposure to fundamental aspects of polymers in relation to othermaterials will be prepared to deal with real-world engineering problems that they must encounterduring their professional lives as engineers. Because of the significant developments andadvancements in the field of polymer science and engineering since the 1950’s, it is becomingpractically impossible for the traditional engineer or scientist to pick up the understanding ofpolymers on the job which is needed for him or her to advance professionally.

At the same time, the higherreliability of Layton’s instrument lends credence to Layton and Ohland’s conclusion thatfocusing on identified behavioral characteristics of good teamwork (as Layton’s instrument does)can improve peer evaluation. Layton’s instrument accomplishes this to an extent, yielding amodest improvement in reliability. More focused attempts to define teamwork successbehaviorally, such as the modification of Brown’s instrument by Kaufman et al., may yieldfurther improvements in reliability. The overall reliability of the two instruments validates suchinstruments as repeated measures of a consistent trait.I. IntroductionIn order to satisfy ABET EC 2000’s charge for
