. Bydiscussing HEV-problems, all students have real-world examples in mind to which they canrelate very easily. Probably they can even go home and discuss certain things with their parents(fuel economy, emission). I had a case, in which a student asked me a question from his parentsabout car efficiencies (Is it really true that conventional vehicles have a overall efficiency of only17%, whereas HEV-cars have efficiencies of 30%?).Also, we all enjoyed giving the students some insight into the d ifference between science and Page 7.296.3engineering.

There may be enough time in oneterm to cover all theory and concepts, but not enough to have programming assignments for eachof them. Instructors could therefore be more efficient if they can find assignments that exercise awide variety of OS concepts.
