If during the final test the team encountered a problem and wanted to request a re-test,this was allowed, but their final performance grade dropped 7% each time. Of the 16 teams thatfaced this performance grading, 14 successfully raised their quarter above 6 feet, one team raisedit two feet, and one team’s design did not function.Case 2 - The main difference in Case 2’s final demonstration was that every team competed atthe same time. The students were given one hour to demonstrate their design. It was set-up as adepartment event that faculty and students from other

During normal operation these devices can implement thedesired functionality of the system while during testing they can be configured to supportspecific test requirements. These devices can be used as test generator for other neighboringcomponent(s) or response collector from them. These responses can be analyzed to identifyfaults in the system. As such, the dual use of reconfigurable devices can be an interestingacademic material at

The ruddersystem allows quick turning action and a bumper in front of the boat protects it against collisionwith underwater rocks and debris. The NXT based system has also allowed students to use theplatform to learn and implement software tools such as ROBOTC and LABVIEW, over andabove the NXT code that came with the LEGO-NXT system.

Engineering and other externally accredited programs are anticipatingthe flow of assessment information from the liberal education part of the core to satisfyaccreditation criteria. (To date, systemic assessment of the current core has not taken place, atleast not in a form that is made available to all academic units.) Key aspects of the core will bedelivered by departments whose members are relatively new, and in some cases resistant, tooutcomes based assessment.

The theoretical plots are actually in terms of Eb/No, although thevalues of S/N and Eb/No are approximately equal for the signaling in this experiment. Secondly,the observation of eye diagrams with various levels of noise is done in this BER experimentrather than as a separate experiment.
