are striving to emphasize entrepreneurship even more in all these courses, and toprovide students help in acquiring the resources they need to pursue their ideas. We drawupon the availability of faculty from business and commerce, and encourage our studentsto take courses in those schools. In addition, we now offer a business minor at ourengineering school. We share a commitment to innovation and entrepreneurship withcolleagues at many other schools, and hope for even greater emphasis in the engineering Page 12.422.9curriculum to help meet the challenges of the 21st Century.References1.

has been the pattern in U. S. education. The developers of theStandards propose that fewer topics be taught to a deeper conceptual level, so that studentsdevelop an understanding of the big ideas, which can then be applied to other areas. Oneemphasis of the science Standards is on teaching science as a process of inquiry, honoringstudents’ prior understanding of the natural world around them and building upon that byallowing students to investigate questions they themselves frame. When teachers and schooldistricts develop their science and math core curriculum around the Standards, a more coherentprogram of instruction emerges; equity for all students and excellence of instruction areachievable
they will lead theirrespective home teams through. Each core concept also has a hands-on module that allows forexperimentation and illustration. After the jigsawgroups have developed their teaching modules, thehome teams rotate through the core concepts. As allof this is going on the professor and TA(s) coach thegroups, spending time listening, asking guidingquestions, and correcting misconceptions. After this,the home teams have a design project thatincorporates all of the concepts covered.The hands on modules are small scale apparatusmounted on wheeled stands along with a whiteboard.The resulting unit is roughly six feet tall and four feetwide. Even though the modules are largely selfcontained and require minimal hookups, electricity

year 2002 somesixty-three community colleges had received grants that directly addressed the IT workforcetraining needs of their local communities [1]. To a great extent, the success of this program wasdue to the vision and generous philanthropy of the Microsoft Corp., the expertise of the AACCmanagement team who oversaw the program on a day-to-day basis, and the dedication of thecommunity college faculty and administrators that took part in the mentoring process.It should be noted that prior to the Working Connections program and the start of the NationalScience Foundation’s Advanced Technology Education (ATE) program in the early 1990’s, mostcommunity college faculty worked in relative isolation with very little contact with colleaguesthat
they didn’t seem applicable to ourapplication, plus their computational and resource requirements were thought to be too extensive.Implementing the entire TCP/IP protocol stack was out of the question, as our system had limitedcomputing resources that needed to be dedicated to the sensor tasks. However, selectiveimplementation of portion(s) of the stack could be appropriate 3. Since the TCP/IP protocol usesSLIP for data transmission over serial lines, it seemed reasonable to investigate how SLIPhandled the task.It turns out that SLIP is similar to our original approach of terminating a packet with an LF+CRpair. However, SLIP does not assume that the packet contains only printable ASCII characters.SLIP uses a single termination character (not
