activities when the younger attendeeswere still completing four activities. A compromise has been developed for the 2005 program inwhich the 5th / 6th grade teams will continue to complete four 45-minute activities and the 7th / 8thgrade teams will complete three 75-minute activities and have an element of team competition.Another challenge is the increased number of persons to be fed and the logistics to do this in asingle time slot. During 2004 too much time was required to feed everyone and some of the lastparticipants and volunteers to receive their lunch had cold pizza, often finding it difficult to finda desirable choice among the remaining options. For 2005’s program the activities will be re-arranged to provide a staggered lunch period. Also

The information requested included a short, descriptive title, backgroundinformation to orientate the students to the area of research, a brief introduction to the field ofresearch, and a paragraph to establish the context including the prior art. The project proposeralso listed one or more issues or research question(s) with the focus on the question or issue to beaddressed in the research and an indication if this topic may result in several thesis topics arounda common theme and what these might be. Crucially they had to outline the expected outcomesof the thesis. To assist the students to get started on a literature review, the

In order to repay these loans, poor governments mustrely on the material wealth of its location, sacrificing long term sustainability for theshort term gain.

to configure the computer display in a waythat best presents the teaching materials. This configuration can support an instructor whowishes to use a single camera and computer to capture his presence (talking head) whilelecturing to students using computer-based media such as PowerPoint slides or by using a pen-based input device. In this configuration, the classroom computer will generate approximately100-120 MBytes of information for storage at the LIVE Server each hour. This translates intoapproximately 250 kbits/s of bandwidth that is needed to support each classroom. Obviously, iftwo cameras/computers were used in the classroom, the bandwidth requirements would double. Another important lesson was in the area of camera resolution

Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) seems to agree; the 2000 “a-k” criteria5 call for a design rich curriculum and contemporary, real-world educationalmethodology. Beginning in the early 1990's, but specifically during the last few years, engineeringeducators have been modifying the curriculum by initiating courses and projects that fosterin their students advanced thinking skills and an understanding of creative and inventiveprocesses. Once predictable engineering classrooms are experiencing a (perhaps overdue)transition to a more holistic, multi-disciplinary educational ethos that has traditionally beenenjoyed by students of the arts and humanities.

with the current state of technology3.In the early 1960’s, heat removal rates ranged typically from 0.1 to 0.3 W2. The SemiconductorIndustry Association estimates that rates for 3.5 GHz chips used in servers and workstations willreach 160W in 20064. Air cooling is the most common technique used to cool electronics.Innovative air cooling techniques allowed heat dissipation rates of 60-70 W by the late 1990s2.However, the point has been reached when many industries have had to look to high-capacitycooling technologies rather than air cooling. One high-capacity cooling technology, liquidcooling, has been used for many years by such companies as Cray (using immersion in liquidnitrogen) and IBM and Honeywell (in their water-cooled mainframes

deployment.Despite repeated attempts to recover the spacecraft by the cadet-faculty operations team,the mission was declared a loss after only one month [3].Although it was considered a technical failure, FS-1 represented an academic success forthe program because cadets participated from “cradle to grave” in a real-world missionwith an all too real-world outcome. Cadets designed and built FS-1’s payload andsubsystems, which were integral in the mission operations from devising operations plansto participating in the launch campaign. Cadets also manned the Academy’s groundstation during overhead passes of a satellite not operating under normal conditions.Cadets involved with trouble-shooting the anomalies soon after deployment certainlygained deep insight

these, some colleges run classes on weekends or in the evenings. Thisonly partially satisfies the need for some people, as there are still some who have difficultygetting to a college campus. Many universities have responded by developing distance education,a means of delivering academically rigorous courses to students in their own homes. A goodexample of this is The Open University in the United Kingdom, which was established in the late1960’s. Since then, distance education has gone through significant development. This includesdelivering distance eduction in science and engineering.1,2Australia is a large continent with a population of around 20 million people.
