class discussion that follows produces a lively debate about the ethicallapses of most of the engineering constituencies. This is followed with a summary of the code ofethics and a framework for ethical decision making.6 Then the students are asked to write a two-page essay on the ethical situation faced by the consulting engineers before and during the mockpublic meeting, the fundamental principles and cannons that apply to the situation, and theappropriate action(s) that should be taken by the consulting engineers. These essays are thensubmitted to the Rose E-Portfolio system for documenting student learning outcomes.Personal TestimonyAnother successful technique that I have used to introduce my students to the topic ofprofessional ethics is

The student made all the measurements and calculations and broughtabout a change that s/he could see. Subsequent experiments have involved making laminateswith Style 181 glass fabric. Each student made a 15-ply, 100 mm square laminate from which asample was cut for density determination and burn-out to obtain resin-fabric ratio. In anotherexperiment, one team of students made a 50x500 mm laminate with the longitudinal direction ofthe fabric in the long (500 mm) direction of the laminate.

The advantage of using shunt filters over the series one is that the shunt filterscarry only a fraction of the load current while the series filters carry full load current.Power factor and power factor correctionPower factor (PF) is the ratio of real (active) power used in the circuit to the total power(apparent power) supplied by a utility, also is defined as the cosine of the power factor angle (θ).The basic formula for power factor is the mathematical ratio of the real power (P) to the apparentor total power (S).

In this self-education process, the particular backgroundneeded for a particular task was acquired on an ad-hoc basis. In a rather notorious example, inthe 1980’s an astrophysicist was working as a network engineer when he stumbled across adiscrepancy in some billing records3. He then trained himself to troubleshoot this issue, andeventually to track the hackers that were at the root of the problem. Anecdotal examples

Examples of digital sensors include inductive proximitysensors, which are used to detect the presence of metals, and optical proximity sensorsthat use light to detect the presence. Analog sensors, on the other hand, output valuesover a range. Examples of these include thermocouples, which produce a small voltageproportional to temperature, and potentiometers, which provide a resistance proportionalto an angle or displacement.Example 2: Wor king with sensor s using LabVIEWObjective: Investigate popular industrial and laboratory sensors and determine theircritical specifications.
