student realization projects know theseprojects are very resource intensive. The resources required span a wide range of people,including faculty, technicians and graduate students, space, equipment, and money. All of thoseitems are scarce resources at all universities. At Virginia Tech we have been fortunate to haveadequate funding, administrative support, bright students who were interested, and faculty withthe desire to both work with students and to participate in the design and realization of theseprojects. From the early 1980’s until the late 1990’s, however, space was a continuing problem.Teams worked wherever shop space could be found. Often the space was not well-suited for the

Thestudents learned how to independently find information about specific sensors and actuators thatwere necessary for their projects even though they may not have used those specific sensors inthe smaller projects. They also had a great feeling of accomplishment as their projects cametogether and most were glad they had taken the course.Bibliography1.

temporarily to allow lower priority tasks an opportunity to execute. • Suspended (S) - In the suspended state the task is waiting for some resource. Once the resource is available the task transitions to the ready state and awaits processor time. • Rescheduling (X) - The rescheduling state is entered whenever a task runs to completion but does not need to be repeated and enter the ready state right away. A scheduling algorithm is used to determine how tasks are prioritized to obtainprocessor execution time. A single type of scheduling algorithm does not fit allapplications. In fact, there are multiple types of scheduling algorithms briefly describedbelow. A particular scheduling algorithm is employed for a specific application [4-6

One approach that appears to be effective at helping students developthe soft skills without compromising the acquisition of technical knowledge is service-learning.Service-learning is a form of project based experiential learning where the students are engagedin an activity that meets the specific needs of a community or nonprofit organization. Whencorrectly implemented, both the service and educational objectives are met. Service-learning hasbeen incorporated with varying degrees of success into many courses and/or curriculum in manyuniversities across the United States since the late 1980’s .1-3 However, only a small fraction

when they solve these examples since often verycomplicated problem may have a very simple solution(s). In addition to regular teachingassignments, there are many informal teaching opportunities that arise in which creativity andinnovation can be injected into the curriculum. Most notably, capstone design courses can beeasily utilized for creative thinking to produce quality projects, provided that the instructor andthe project advisor are willing to devote a significant amount of time to advising the student teammembers.Creativity is a process of generating and manifesting a new idea1. This idea may come in secondsand goes with the winds in seconds unless it is recorded and explored. On the other hand,innovation is taking creative ideas into
