calculations of their diameters and chirality (two of the mostimportant physical properties in terms of calculating their electrical properties) be made. AnSEM, which magnifies by shooting electrons at samples and recording the speeds at which theseelectrons return in order to form a picture, was available for this project. Unfortunately, thepictures captured by the SEM (see Figures 1 and 2) were not clear enough to calculate thesemeasurements exactly; atomic resolution can only be observed with high resolution of a TEM.This means that all tests of these CNTBs were conducted without knowing the physicalstructures of the CNTs making up the bundle.

learned in the past can serveas stepping stones for the new knowledge.I. IntroductionElectromagnetics is widely considered as a very difficult course, and students often get lost at thebeginning. There are several challenges: mathematics, imagination, as well as new concepts andapproaches. First, vector calculus is the language of Electromagnetics, and many students havepoor background in this subject.1 Second, most students can visualize the motion of particles, butthey have a hard time imagining the spatial distribution of the EM field.2 Third, a number of newconcepts and theorems are introduced in a short period of time, as well as new approaches tosolve problems.3 One way to overcome these challenges is to engage new technology.4 There

Herein, the authors explainthese fundamentals and illustrate how they were implemented by the DCT Department at IUPUIas they created their strategic plan.We begin by listing and describing three fundamental tasks strategic planners complete as theystrategically plan. 1. They encourage, seek and desire participation from everyone involved in the organization. They communicate this loud and clear. If a group or organization is too large for all to participate, those not directly involved should have their voices heard and interest advanced through others who will represent them.1

Further examination of the twoassessment tools (StrengthsFinder and MBTI), along with the language and descriptorssummarized in the two tables, has led the authors of this paper to propose a connection betweenStrengthsFinder themes and MBTI typing.IV. b) COMPARISON OF METHODOLOGIESIt is possible, then, that one might consider associations between the MBTI preferences and theStrengthsFinder themes as follows in Table 1. The descriptors used by Yokomoto and Ware4 aswell as the engineering attributes provided by Veenstra et al.20 were used to create this mappingof the MBTI dichotomies to the StrengthsFinder themes.It should be noted that there will not be a completely one to one mapping since

In addition, the assessment process must be efficient, to ensure sustainability.The program must identify or create opportunities to assess each of its student outcomes at oneor more points in the program, where students are expected to have attained, and should be ableto demonstrate that outcome at an acceptable level.The junior-level embedded systems

The expectation was that interviewers would engage in a conversationwith the interviewee in which they worked to elicit student’s thoughts about 5 focal themes. Asa result, we consider the interviews a “negotiated text” 4 (p. 663) that was co-constructed throughthe conversation of the interviewer and interviewee(s).

A photovoltaic cell is designed to convertradiant energy in light to electrical energy that can be used to power devices.
