Again, the size of each sensor node can vary from alarge box to a microscopically small particle. Most of these tiny nodes developed by labs haveyet to be deployed in any application. However, these microscopically small particle-sized sensornodes have the potential to be used in a number of military applications.5.

At this stage, we identified basic concepts thatinstructors think are most critical for students to master AC, DC, and circuit analysis concepts. We reliedon the contributions of instructors and content knowledge experts. At the conclusion of this stage, ECCDwas narrowed to focus on the most important concepts, and identify and associate specific items to selectedconcepts.4.2 Identify alternative conceptions: The major deliverables at this stage of the project are to develop thereason-tier of the ECCD, and to develop a

addressing the STEM workforce development has been to increase the representation ofunder-represented communities like African-American and in particular, African-Americanwomen (Landivar, 2013). The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), which arechronically underfunded (Palmer et al., 2010), have been largely responsible for addressing theSTEM workforce disparity among Black aspirants (Palmer et al., 2010 and Perna et al., 2009).Although, the burden on HBCUs for addressing workforce disparity is overwhelming, the STEMinitiatives undertaken by them may be the most impactful in addressing this concern (Palmer etal., 2010).
