Atemperature control of ± 1 C RMS is shown to be achievable which is mostly limited by noise in thetemperature readings. 1. IntroductionIn the university operated microfabrication laboratories, unlike an industrial production setting,the diffusion/oxidation furnaces employed for semiconductor device and integrated circuitfabrication have very small average usage time due to the inherent low-volume of suchoperations[1,2].

Real Time Communication Systems With PCsAbstractCommunication system classes have been traditionally taught with a lecture-only format.However, the proliferation of new concepts and algorithms in communication systems makes itincreasingly hard for students to master them only through mathematical derivations.Furthermore, without a hands-on demonstration of how the algorithm is used in real-lifeapplications, students without strong mathematical skills can become frustrated and generate aretention problem in EET/CET/EE programs. To overcome this problem, the theory taught inlecture has been complemented with laboratory experiments and class projects. However, manytraditional communication systems’ laboratory experiments are related to various

Examples of sensing and control systems experiments and projects are also given.IntroductionThe Universal Serial Bus (USB) has quickly found its way from consumer electronics (cameras,scanners, printers, cell phones, etc.) to laboratory equipment. The ease of connection andrelatively high data rate of USB makes this technology very useful for portable data acquisitionunits.

They also feature on-line capabilities that allow users to operatethem remotely through the Internet.The new curriculum has positively impacted our existing programs in many respects. For thefirst time, our students have been able to perform applied research in their fields of engineeringand science and publish/present their findings in a national scientific conference. In addition, thelab has been utilized as an instructional facility in teaching of a number of courses inmathematics, physics and engineering.This paper describes the efforts undertaken with respect to curriculum

workindividually or in self-selected pairs on a directed active learning assignment as faculty and labassistants employ a “teaching by walking around (TBWA)” philosophy. By implementingTBWA, faculty can interact with every student in the class in an informal manner as each student/ student-pair work at their own pace. Students receive individual attention and can receiveimmediate feedback as they work.During the ECE-322 annual continuous improvement cycle, it was suggested that the existingmixed-mode format and TBWA style could easily be adapted into a MOOC [6]. In turn, theMOOC could serve as an interactive textbook that integrates many components such as readings,video lectures, homework assignments, self-assessments, quizzes, laboratory projects, and

The timing also meant betterweather in Darmstadt, opening up opportunities for more destinations to be open. Unfortunately,this combination of timing and duration also meant greater expense.

As an example, it could be said that a student has a basic knowledge ofcorrosion measuring techniques and understands their underlying electrochemicalprinciples but has not developed the skills to specify the most suitable technique(s) for aparticular industrial application. Four elements of Bloom’s Taxonomy (application,analysis, synthesis and evaluation) are particularly relevant in this context.The Southampton study included an application concerning phase diagrams and oneconcerning engineering design.
