Session 2242 Strategic Management Issues with Engineering Management Distance Learning E. Parkinson, M. Hailey, G. Garrison The University of Tennessee Space Institute Abstract This paper identifies and discusses real-world strategic issues in making distance learning a“Win-Win-Win” for the primary customer(s), the general public, and the educational insthution. TheUnivershy of Tennessee’s Graduate Engineering Management Program is used as a case study. Concepts andissues are discussed generically to promote
significant accomplishments,the students still wanted younger speakers. This may be accomplished by including collegestudents who are majoring in IT as part of the summer workshop, linking high school and college Page 14.1104.10with a career in IT. A similar approach is likely to be appropriate to other high schoolinterventions which share similar goals. Even without these changes, the SPIRIT workshopsappear to be accomplishing their goals with respect to the participating student groups.Bibliography1. Patterson, D. A.

He is a registered Professional Engineer in the State of Connecticut. He previously taught at the Coast Guard Academy from 1974 to 1978 while serving on active duty in the Coast Guard. He retired form the Coast Guard in 1992 at the rank of Captain having had assignments in Marine Safety, Naval Engineering, Acquisition, and Research and Development. His last assignment on active duty was as Commanding Officer of the Coast Guard Research and Development Center in Groton, CT. After retirement from active duty, prior to coming to the

Note MSComm only supports COM ports one to Page 11.89.5sixteen, which makes RocketPort COM ports seventeen to twenty invalid for VB.MC03 was found not to have the ability to receive serial data late in the development cycle. Thislimitation was a surprise for the project and GE Fanuc factory technical representatives. This isunderstandable due to the large quantity of PLC models GE Fanuc sells. A solution wasdesigned by directly wiring MC04’s outputs six to fourteen to MC03’s inputs eight to sixteen.Then, the transmitted serial data planned for

IntroductionSince offering its first distance learning courses in the 1970’s, the New Jersey Institute ofTechnology, NJIT, has been a leader in distance learning education. From its inception, NJIT hasemphasized the use of computer-mediated communication systems, or asynchronous learningnetworks (ALNs), as a means to keep distance learning students engaged in their coursework, topromote a sense of community among classmates, and to improve student learning. The firstALN used at NJIT was the Electronic Information Exchange System, EIES1. This system wasexpanded and modified to make it web-accessible, and became
overviewyour idea, rationale, major activities, expected results, and achievement of the NSF meritreview criteria of intellectual merit, and broader impacts. Thus, at minimum, the projectsummary should state the issue or problem you propose to study, establish its relevanceand importance to your field of study, state your research hypothesis, and define the longterm goal(s), short term objectives, and associated activities. This is a good point todefine your proposed activities in the areas of research, education, and service oroutreach if appropriate. It is mandatory to state the intellectual merit and broaderimpacts of your proposed work in the project summary, as these address NSF’s meritreview criteria that are required of all proposals submitted

Associated with each module, are (a) backgroundinformation at the appropriate level, (b) list of references for further study, (c) description of theproblem(s) to be studied, and (d) relevant software.There are six topics over which these modules range: architecture, voltage scaling, operatingsystems and middleware, compilers, VLSI, and wireless networks. A brief description of somerepresentative module is provided below.Architecture • Static and Dynamic Power: This module explains the two types of power consumption in Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) circuits.
