The process is becoming increasingly structured and the underlying selection matrix isbecoming more focused based on past experience. The prior project experience provides a basis ofnegotiation as to what can be realistically achieved to inform the final s and the ability of facultymembers.Communication and the VIP CalenderPolyCom At the heart of the VIP is the ability to communicate.

amplify them. A weightedsummer circuit for the LM35 temperature sensor [8] was used as is shown in Figure 2. where theLM35’s output range is 20mV to 1500mV. With this design the group was able to manipulate theoutput to the proper 0V to 2.5V required by the microcontroller. In order to condition the outputsignal from the Figaro TGS6810 [11] gas sensor, an AD620 operational amplifier was used (seeFigure 2). This was necessary because each Figaro sensor has an offset that needs to be adjustedby means of a differential voltage. The AD620 is capable of amplifying the output of the gassensor to range from 0V to 2.5 Volts. Not all components in the system though are intended to aid in amplifying a signal. In thecase of the circuitry that

In some ways, constructing theappropriate assessment vehicle(s) was a more considerable challenge. The open-endednature of realistic design does not always lend itself to concrete assessmentmethodologies. The rest of this paper briefly outlines the UT Tyler CE program

Wechose phototherapy because students all had some background in previous coursework related tolight, and because it was unlikely to give an advantage to any students as a problem inmechanical or electrical modeling might have.
