This means that the students see a consistent set of tools used across all theircourses. Although the University was ranked number 75 in the “100 most wired schools” in1999, we have found that the use of wireless technology has made fundamental changes in theway students work. Students still make use of the wired LAN when they are transferring largeamounts of data (for example, MPEG files they’ve created), but they prefer the convenience ofthe wireless LAN for most of their work. With the wireless LAN students can work anywherethey want. For example, for the house design discussed earlier, in past years the

Because of their different circumstances and lifeexperiences, these groups of students had widely differing perspectives on modernmanufacturing practices.Comparison of these three groups of students offers some interesting and useful insights intoappropriate teaching methods and course emphasis for students presently employed in amanufacturing environment.IntroductionSuccessfully teaching undergraduate students about the organizational structures and functionspresent in a modern manufacturing organization can be challenging

temperature is to place sensors in individual rooms. Thesearch temperature transducer is the Analog devices AN22000. The AN22000’s onboard signalconditioning and linear output make it an ideal sensor for this application.Conversion from the linear output of the AN22000 into an 8 bit binary number wasaccomplished by an Analog-to-Digital converter.The design of the chassis was intended to be a miniature card cage, however in the prototypestage bus connections were made by a much more bulky 60-pin IDE cable. Addressing of eachcard was performed by manual jumper manipulation.As configured, the system accepts input from four sensors, three of which are located on theinside of the house, one on the outside.
