However, this new design also calls for visual evidence to support this assertion as well assome specific formatting guidelines as described in The Craft of Scientific Presentations [5].The guidelines for the new design, as outlined in Table 1, were developed through critiquesessions of more than 400 graduate research and senior laboratory presentations over four years,primarily at Virginia Tech [3].

Atthe conclusion of this session, the students were allowed to keep their motors and take themhome and share with their parents and other family members. The students really enjoyed thisactivity. On the third day of the institute, a session on using the web and unexpected internetadventures was presented. Internet resources were highlighted and shared and the many uses ofthe web as a teaching and learning tool. Several important caveats regarding use of the web ineducation were presented.

A focus on the networking aspect of the RTOS kernel wasexplained by teaching the CAN bus. The emphasis was to make clear the networking part of theRTOS [9]. Laboratories were developed for teaching RTOS. For example, a virtual machineenvironment was introduced to reduce the setup time [10].
