However implementation is not. Resource allocation forinfrastructure, laboratories, faculty salaries and other forms of student facilities are inadequate. In theabsence of accreditation standards quality control of programs and its graduates is illusionary. This isin spite of most private engineering schools charging upwards of $2,000 in tuition per year, a highamount compared to personal income. The government-funded universities and colleges, which wereeffectively free (including room) in the 1980s, have also instituted tuition fees in the range of

We used AutoCAD to design the detector’s parts that weremachined and assembled to form the proposed detector.

By introducing thismodel to students early in their college careers, we anticipated that various psychosocial and socio-economical impediments to student learning, retention, and academic success would beminimized.

The laboratory exercises also coverdata analysis and interpretation, which could also target C3 and C4. However, since SPC coversthose topics more directly, the focus of the DOE module is to satisfy C1 and C2. Introduction ofDOE also enabled the incorporation of additional educational components.
