Page – 11 -The management of SBT places a high premium on on-going self-assessment to monitor therigor, quality, and effectiveness of each of its academic programs. With the on-going self-assessment, SBT not only assesses the results of program outcomes but also continuouslyevaluates its “assessment process” to establish a systematic and sustained assessmentapproach and create an assessment environment that is receptive, supportive and enabling.Bibliography1.

This creates many problems forthe traditional classroom which uses the same exam questions and lab assignments fromone semester to the next. Instead of fighting the flow of information (which industry hasfound to be exceptionally hard), the learning environment must adapt to not only toleratethis, but use it to further educate. We have redesigned our digital systems design courseto incorporate these changes.In traditional digital systems design, silicon chips from different manufacturers arebrought

The speed of the penetrator is 0.2 mm/s, but the speedis reduced to lower the limit in order to more accurately determine the end point. The preferredmethod for determining is by the drop-in load on the specimen. In general this indicates the onsetof necking in the dome.

economists frequently treat all GLDs as OI, but there are situations in whichthe GLD becomes a capital gain or loss (CGL). If a firm is a corporation, then the error intro-duced by treating a GLD as OI will be seen to be either non-existent or minimal, but this mightnot be the case for engineering firms operating as sole proprietorships, Sub-chapter S corpora-tions, limited liability corporations, or partnerships. These organizations are called pass-throughentities since their revenues and expenses and gains and losses are passed through to the ownersor partners who pay taxes on them as individuals. Computing the tax effect of GLDs requires determining the type of asset disposed, theholding period of the asset, the character of the GLD, and
