Withineach module, the students were required to read the appropriate textbook material (Degarmo andKibbe) pertaining to the module they were assigned, complete the homework assignments, andfamiliarize themselves with the components for each machine. The lab instructor would thendemonstrate the proper operation of the machines to each group of 3 students. Each module wasperformed by a group of 3 students during which they would each manufacture small pre-designed projects as a demonstration of their understanding of each process.

many refinements during this experiment. These refinementsranged from the elimination of “wobble” in the mechanical supports of the LED and thephotodetector (via the use of vertical post mounts and an optical rail) to the elevation ofeach, in order to reduce the possibility of back-scattering from the environment. We alsoexplored the use of apperatures and better detectors…all resulting in a curve fit to a lineof slope much closer to –1 than the far-field prediction of –2. Currently, my new studentsand I are involved in further experiments in hopes of resolving this issue – ourenthusiasm only further enhanced by the desire to solve “mysteries.”References[1] S.

While this capability is also available in variants of the SMC [4], thespreadsheet-based simulation usually requires less support overhead since thespreadsheet software is already available to most students. Potential Improvements The following improvements would expand the range of programs the students couldexperiment with: 1. Conditional control flow – there need to be one or more instructions that use the results of calculations to alter the program’s control flow. The TX-0’s Jump instruction was actually a conditional instruction that only jumped if the accumulator contained a negative number. That is one way to do it. 2. Input/output – students

The finalrankings reflect weighted averages of the individual rankings for the factors. In a value-addedmodel, by contrast, high inputs raise expectations for outputs.
