Theobjective of the lab is to help the student to learn the functions of the digital multimeterand introduce them to three basic electronic components : the photoresistor, the lightemitting diode ( LED ), and the transistor. First the student is required to obtain the basicelectrical characteristic data ( resistance , current and voltage ) of each component underdifferent power supply condition.

Surveying Equipment Using Cost-Sensitive Devices to Promote Innovative Mapping Solutions in Undergraduate EngineeringAbstractEngineering applications typically use mapping products as input for developing solutions.Several levels of data acquisition can support engineering projects, such as orbital, aerial, andterrestrial data gathering. Considering the terrestrial level, the way to acquire data can be static,where the equipment is at a fixed position during the measurements, or kinematic (mobile), inwhich a platform carries the equipment during data acquisition - in movement. Terrestrial mobilemapping systems (TMMS) usually have sensors assembled in a vehicle that collect data whilemoving, and nowadays, these systems

The UI isthe interface a user will interact to use the system. This project examined the feasibility of anobject-oriented VM based on C++ programming.

The current model does not address the individual teammember’s roles in the preparation stages or in the ability to present their work. Theproject grade goes equally to each member of the team in most cases. Furthermore, thestudents who need more training on teamwork skills can be in the shadow of their peersand miss the opportunity of acquiring these skills.
