introductory courses offered by the department. A qualitativeinvestigation revealed that ENGE‟s faculty members not only readily adopted the tablet PC buthave also helped faculty members outside of their department learn how to effectively use theTablet. Some of the faculty members within this department are also considered to be championsof other forms of instructional technologies. The COE has been finding it challenging to getother departments to wholeheartedly accept the tablet PC like ENGE did and are using the resultsof this study to assist in identifying strategies that can assist with greater diffusion ofinstructional technology across departments.IntroductionThe College of Engineering (COE) at Virginia Tech is considered to be a forerunner
items, one might thinkonly about pirated music CD‟s and „fake‟ Rolex watches. However, a significant part of thecounterfeit industry is producing items that consumers may find indistinguishable from „the realthing‟. A serious concern is items in the industrial supply chain that are not what they arepromised to be. A common example being counterfeit cell phone batteries that may pose aperformance and safety concern. Fraud in the area of counterfeit goods ranges from simplemislabeling of product, to enterprises completely dedicated to producing exact copies of namebrand consumer products. Items counterfeited range from sneakers with an illegal designer logo,to counterfeit prescription medications and medical devices.Counterfeiting has been

Under Nagarjuna ’s leadership, Mission10X has so far reached out to over 19,000 faculty members in innovative methodologies from 1000+ engineering schools spread across India and has recently launched its second phase targeted by 2013 to reach out to 25,000 more faculty members, develop 250 academic leaders and deploy 2500 unified learning kits to bridge technology gap between industry and academia. Under Nagarjuna’s leadership Mission10X established many partnerships Most technical Universities in India have affiliated to Mission10X, International partners like Dale Carnegie, University of Cambridge, Harvard Business Publishing, Development Dimensions International.

is important to avoid metastabilities in the sequential design. • Two 8-bit registers. One is the Input Register (INPR), and the other one is the Output Register (OUTR). These facilitate communications with external input and output devices. • A collection of 7 disjoint flip flops that collectively act as the CPU status register. The Interrupt Register (R), The Stop Register (S), The Carry Register (E), the Addressing Mode Register (I), the Interrupt Enable Register (IEN), the Flag Input Register (FGI), and the Flag Output Register (FGO). These are individually controlled as will be detailed later. 3. A simple instruction format
isbeing delivered. Navigating the course web site and/or student management tool, such asWebCT or Blackboard, prior to starting the course is paramount for students’ success. A Community of Learners:Building a sense of community during the first week of the course provides a critical andsolid foundation for the success of the course. A threaded discussion can be veryeffective in accomplishing this task. This course incorporated a “Tell Us About You”threaded discussion assignment to allow students interact and share personal informationthey were comfortable with such as hometown, major, work experience, background, andother information or photo(s) they would like to include. Also, this assignment has themstate one objective they would like to

to explain the effect of filtering in the frequency domain orwhen explaining the causes of frequency and phase distor�ons, I have no�ced that the studentslack the understanding of what are the results of the Fourier analysis and how to relate thoseresults to the amplitudes and frequencies of the harmonics cons�tu�ng the �me-domain signalanalyzed by the Fourier series/transform. As such, I have spent �me explaining these concepts,and by now, the students understand the term “frequency spectrum” or “spectrum.” However,the students s�ll do not know how to prac�cally generate the frequency spectrum of real data oruse the straigh�orward spectral analysis tools in MATLAB. 3.

Second, we were challenged by the requirement that we must focus on educationalresearch, rather than the practical concerns of improving the “student professional formationexperience,” such as, for example, improving and expanding course offerings, student successstrategies, and transfer policies. We were, however, fortunate enough to have one of the Co-PIsfrom our partner university who was trained as an engineering education researcher through anNSF Research Initiation in Engineer Formation (RIEF) grant and had experience working onresearch on an S-STEM grant.

Specifically, we proposed to use DNA, RNA and proteinalphabets to represent information, to use pseudo random sequence to intronize plaintext, and touse modified genetic code for information translation.

noted as one persistent attribute that students exhibit during theseexperiences. For instance, one aspect of Behroozi et al.’s work [7] compared anxiety levels thattheir participants exhibited while conducting mock technical interviews either in a public settingor in a private setting. It was determined that participants who conducted technical interviews ina public setting exhibited higher levels of anxiety than their counterparts who were in a privatesetting. Similarly, Hall and Gosha [23] conducted a study that measured the correlation ofanxiety and preparation in a technical interview that targeted junior and senior CS majors at aSoutheastern Historically Black College/University (HBCU) in the United States.

sustainable energy through salinitygradient [2]. Prospects for the various energy sources were assessed after the 1973 oil crisis, andSidney Loeb [3] introduced the idea of PRO in the 1970’s. However, research slowed down in the80s and 90s due to the expensive cost of the available membranes, which would make osmoticpower generation financially unviable. More recently interest in searching new clean and non-periodic energy sources resulted in the construction of several large or small-scale pilot SGP powerplants [4, 5]. Salinity gradient can provide us with a very large source of clean energy. Riversaround the world with an average flow of 1.2×10 m3/s have the potential to produce up to 2.5 TWof energy. This is about 13 percent of the current world's
