Production Technician (MSSC-CPT) credential was developed bythe same named council and grew out of the US Department of Labor efforts in the1990’s to develop a credential for manufacturing front line or entry level employees. Theskill sets for a CPT are built on the industrial engineering principles and practices forproduction which are common to all manufacturing and production enterprises. Thus, thecredential is portable and applicable to all manufacturing sectors. These foundationalskills and knowledge are bundled into four broad areas common to the manufacturingsector: Manufacturing Processes & Production, Quality Practices and Measurement,Maintenance Awareness, and Safety. The skill sets are also aligned with the USDepartment of Labor

Page 25.146.8Planned next steps to this research include the continuation of this study and this cohort groupinto their senior year as well as launching a new study with a new group of freshman cohorts inorder to compare results. In addition, it would be advantageous to expand this work to otherinstitutions, such as one in a traditional campus environment, for comparable results.Bibliography1. Carliner, S. (2004.)

typically have highunderlying ink density and students frequently cross-out strokes with a single straight line.Strokes are first processed by the cross-out recognizer. Strokes not positively identified as across-out are then classified using our extension of Peterson et al.’s method.3.3 Stroke GroupingWe have found that there are two types of errors that can be made in classifying strokes: actualerrors and contextual errors. Actual errors are straightforward, incorrect classifications, such aspart of a beam in a free body diagram that was mislabeled as an equation stroke. Contextualerrors are more subtle and depend on the situation in which a stroke appears. Consider the letter“F”, which appears frequently in both free body diagrams and equations

The telescope ismounted on the GTO 3600 German equatorial mount from Astro-Physics6. Like many Germanequatorial mounts, the GTO 3600 employs worm gears on the two control axis. The rightascension axis, the one responsible for countering the Earth's rotation, contains a high resolutionencoder that reduces the tracking error to under one second of arc providing a very stableimaging platform. The software system is designed to provide maximum flexibility. At the lowest level, theASCOM platform7 provides a driver based programming interface to the observatory hardware.This driver

The major differentiation from architectural drawings is that this diagram isnot to scale and it cannot be used for lineal, area, or volume calculations during the takeoffprocess. Students then informed about the schedules sheet(s) which provide information onequipment and fixtures. They are informed that this is critical information and it needs to becompared with the respective information provided in the specifications. Specifications mayinclude similar, additional or complementing information. Last step is to analyze the details. Notonly plumbing drawings but HVAC and electrical drawings will contain details.

Performing this inspection for all combinationsof inputs for simple sets of equations, or an interesting subset of those combinations for complexsets, can lead to an in-depth understanding of any specific design and of HDL described designsin general. As stated earlier, both combinational and sequential logic are supported inVisiBoole. Combinational assignment equations have only a variable name to the left of anequal sign. Sequential logic assignments use a variable name with a “.d” sufix. When formattedfor the display, the variable name and the “.d” are separated by a space. The

projects. Therefore, if they have not already done so, other CEMprograms should be encouraged to establish formal faculty mentoring programs for theircapstone projects. Efforts should be made to move the mentoring beyond the role of merelymonitoring student progress or performance to one of coaching that contributes real value tostudent learning. Faculty are the professional experts; the challenge becomes how to usementoring effectively to impart some of that knowledge and experience to students.ReferencesLikert, Rensis.
