-EB main activities in the first year of the project have been recruiting members andreviewing current site materials. The LES-EB reviewed a number of existing OEC casematerials; key measures concerning content—including the content “area(s)” portrayed in eachcase and whether the case raised “ethics and society” (macroethical) issues—reinforced the needto develop additional materials. Regarding content areas, the review showed that the existingcollection only has substantial sets of resources for “genetics and genomics” and “biomedicalsciences.” Only these fields had more than 15 resources when reviewers assigned cases tosubfields within the life and environmental sciences using a modified version of the taxonomy oflife science graduate

The intent of these changes most often affected end-of-life issues (e.g., reducing the carbon footprint or producing less waste). In Class B, 50% ofdesign changes addressed one (i.e., changing the material or reducing the number of productparts), 38% indicated two, and only 12% considering three or more modifications.

If that were the case, some students might be better served by a more traditionalcourse offering that focuses more on standardized course learning objectives rather than open-ended student-driven learning. This last point is a serious consideration, and one I intend to studyin the future.

By using the “colon operator” (:) this can be done in a single line of coding in Matlab.An array of time values starting at zero and ending at with an increment of is created bytyping 0: : to create the message signal and the carrier signal.
