. Networks provide the “glue” that connect each of the localizedmodules together into a functioning whole. We believe that students who take courses inmicroprocessor embedded control should have some exposure to network-connected controlsystems, and if possible they should also have experience in their implementation. This paperdescribes a project that we undertook at the U.S. Naval Academy in our computer engineeringtrack where our students used an I2C network and PIC16C84 microprocessors to construct amodel distributed shipboard damage control system.1.

MethodologyPurpose of the StudyThe purpose of the study was to determine whether the presence of coordinate axes in a test ofspatial visualization ability affects scores and response times on a mental rotations task forstudents enrolled in introductory engineering and technical graphics classes. Coordinate axes wereadded to the PSVT to determine whether the presence of the axes was a sufficient contextual cuefor improving scores and response times.SampleStudents enrolled in introductory engineering graphics courses at North Carolina State Universityduring the 1998 fall semester were required to participate in the study as part of the requirementsfor their course.

By that last phrase we do not wish to imply that we aim to producenovelists or poets, though those too are worthy endeavors; rather, we intend to avoid the tragedyof talent embedded in the following statement by George Heilmeier, corporate executive atBellcore: Communication skills are extremely important. Unfortunately, both written and oral skills are often ignored in engineering schools, so today we have many engineers with excellent ideas and a strong case to make, but they don’t know how to make that case. If you can’t make the case, no matter how good the

on the results of the study conducted, 50 % of the students have come to under-stand and 70 % became interested in learning CAD. Some students who at first disliked the tradi-tional manual drafting turned out to advocate CAD and CAD preference is more influenced by thetraditional drafting experience rather than by keyboard skills.1.IntroductionTowards the end of 1970 CAD has been especially prevailing as the main tool in the field of theautomotive, aircraft, architecture and electricity. Presently, it is not too daring to say that CAD hasconsiderably replaced traditional manual drafting. In light of this technological advancement, CADsystems have been gradually putting into use even in high-school level. Considering the fast tech-nological

Environmental Engineering, 1947 N. 12th Street,Philadelphia, PA 19122ABSTRACT It is a known fact that most engineering problems are complex and challenging, therebyrequiring the collective skills, experiences, and knowledge of several engineers to tackle them. Asa result, many potential engineering employers consider the ability to work in teams an essentialand sought-after skill when hiring new talents. In cognizance of the afore-stated fact, theAccreditation Board of Engineering and Technology emphasizes, as one of its criteria, thepreparation of students to function in high performing teams upon completion of their studies.Consequently, this survey study seeks to explore the effectiveness of teamwork and team-basedlearning as perceived by
