. For a society which ismoving rapidly towards globalization, ABET assessment process is an effective system toconnect with international engineering education. Furthermore, the implementation ofinternational accreditation will facilitate the mobility of engineers in the global market.VI. Reference[1] Ran, A. (2001).

“Body of Knowledge”for computer engineering graduates. This list is rather lengthy, and inevitably in a hybridprogram some topics from both electrical and computer engineering will not be addressed.Nevertheless, having such a list is helpful in designing the ECE curriculum. Also quite helpful isanother, more general statement from the same reference on the desired characteristics of allComputer Engineering graduates: 1. System Level Perspective Graduates must appreciate the concept of a computer system and the processes involved in constructing or analyzing it. They must have an understanding of its operation that goes to a greater depth than a mere external appreciation of what the system does or the way(s) in which it

In parallel communication format, all data bits are transferred at the same timethrough a computer data bus, while in serial communication, bits are transferred through one data line ina pulse format. Parallel data must be converted to serial data form prior to transmission to the outsideperipheral device(s). The serial data received by the computer from an outside peripheral device mustbe converted back to a parallel format and then placed on the computer data bus [2]. The parallel dataon the computer data-bus is represented by either zero or five volts (0V or 5V). However, the serialdata

The design of the plant included a powerhouse 700 feetunderground and a six-mile long tailrace tunnel system, in addition to the proposed raising of Lake Manapouri by100 feet.4 This analysis reviews the technological, environmental, and economic issues that have arisen in thesiting, construction, and operation of the original plant and during the recently completed expansion of the tailracecapacity. The impacts of the deregulation of New Zealand’s electricity market and the availability of power fromalternative hydro sources are also considered in an overall benefit-cost assessment of the Manapouri project.Evidence is drawn from government records and interviews

The Myers-Briggs type indicator test was designed by Isabel Myers-Briggs and KatherineBriggs in the 1920’s. The test is based on Carl Jung’s psychological types. The general aim oftype theory involves self, others, and self-development. The first aim of type theory is “toprovide an economical summary of central aspects of personality, one which increases self-understanding and implies certain ways of behaving more than others8.” The second aim is tohelp individuals

The RCXbrick is based on the Hitachi H8/3292 microprocessor and includes three output ports thatcan be used to control motors and three input ports that can be used to receive data from avariety of sensors, including touch sensors and light sensors. The data scanner uses theRCX's light sensor(s) to read data encoded in a series of stripes on a piece of paper 8.5inches wide. This data is encoded using a bi-phase modulation code and a Huffmancompression code (that is explained in class). The project is carried out using the "Not-Quite-C" (NQC) programming
