experiencesinvolve use of current real-time open-source software and supported microcontrollers.At the beginning, to introduce students the topics on defining real-time systems, power pointslides presentation and class discussion are used to in the lectures. As these topics are the basisfor further learning, it is important to help students to set up a solid and comprehensivefoundation. In class discussion questions are designed to enable student to reflect on keyconcepts in real-time systems, and to encourage active learning. Here are some examples: 1) Arereal-time systems synonymous with ‘fast or high performance’ systems?, 2) “In the statement‘All practical systems are ultimately real-time systems’, what is your idea of the degree of ‘real-time’?, 3

Engagement assignments also increased in value to contribute a greater portion of theoverall course grade. “Lost and found” engagement assignments have been used since theinception of the course; these assignments require students to reflect on course material toidentify one topic from a lecture or module which left them feeling lost and one topic that theyfound interesting. These assignments receive individualized responses to guide “lost” students toadditional resources to clarify concepts or correct misunderstandings. The instructor also gainsinsight into topics of more significant student interest.The semester project for the course is integrative, requiring a stakeholder analysis, creation of amessage map [16], and production of several written

The project aligns with moving beyond lower-level assessments to favorhigher order outcomes that reflect knowledge creation and real-world performance expectations[12]. The current HVAC project requires students to complement the in class learning andactivities with independent project work, in which they research relevant procedures and designand implement a solution. Second, it represents a culminating experience that requires thestudents to apply their content knowledge from various courses like Technical Drawing,Technical Thermodynamics and Heat Transfer, and Fluids Mechanics.

the formal.Architectural form was a function of a resolution of forces acting upon it. August Choisy and Guadetof the Ecole de Beaux Arts in Paris had laid the foundation of this attitude. While Lutyens and hisdisciples paid lip- service to Indian motifs, a thorough grounding in the art and craft of constructionwas always held to be a prerequisite for architectural training. This was reflected in the fact that theBombay school had a strong technical component and all the schools that followed it, such as theBengal Engineering College at Calcutta, Baroda's Kalabhavan (House of Art), Delhi's Polytechnic,were primarily technical/engineering institutions with a department of architecture.

entire program. ConclusionsAn attempt has been made to identify the desirable characteristics of “good” teamplayers. Some of these results may have been correctly anticipated. For example, older,more academically successful students with hands-on and work experience seemed to bebetter candidates for “good” team players. On the other hand, the fact that women andthe representatives of the “majority cultures” seemed to do better may not be so obvious.The fact that high analytical and low verbal SAT scores seemed to indicate “poor” teamplayers, may simply be a reflection of the fact that a large fraction of them were Asians,who usually do well in mathematics but tend to have (English) language

Theinstructor can also save the data gathered during a CPS session for further study and analyses. Italso can help the instructor identify and improve the content of topics that are difficult.

Such statistics would be the ever moreenhanced if collected over the course of several semesters of teaching.In conclusion thus, the author’s first experiment with PBL in an engineering Dynamics classproved helpful although certainly not perfect. It appears that more preparation and carefulplanning for such experiments is an absolute must. Qualitative evidence pointed to the benefit ofsuch an experiment to student learning as reflected by student feedback and general studententhusiasm about the assigned design project. References 1.

These products do doubleduty, performing their primary jobs while also saving energy. Roof shingles, for example,may be coated with heat-reflective materials that send the sun's heat away from thebuilding, rather than being absorbed and can even generate electricity for the building.Compact fluorescent lights use less energy and put less heat into the building, andadvances in HVAC technology mean more comfortable spaces that use less energy.The benefits from these components will not be realized
