ABSTRACTDespite the fact that it has been over a decade since the first university in the United Statesoffered a bachelor’s degree in software engineering, opinions still differ as to whether thesoftware engineering discipline is a distinct engineering discipline or whether it is more properlyregarded as a sub-discipline of computer science.

Out of a total of six students whoparticipated in TCURMP, all graduated and went on to enroll in their BS in environmentalSciences program. Most of the students who were not retained were much weaker students andusually did not make it to the point where they were ready for the research program. United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) participated only minimally in TCURMP. Inthe last four years, UTTC did not have students in this program. Therefore, they were not able toassess the impact of TCURMP on their retention. Besides, UTTC also runs a STEM researchproject mentoring program of

relaxation oscillator. Oscillators are characterized by the frequency of theiroutput signal. Oscillators designed to produce a high-power AC output from a DC supply areusually called inverters. Project #4 comprises sound generation using the transistor oscillatorcircuit shown in Figure 8. Turning on the slide switch (S1) causes the LED (D1) to light up asthe speaker (SP) emits a tone. The circuit oscillates and generates an AC voltage across thespeaker through the transformer (T1).

He also develops accessible computing solutions to address these disparities in multimodal information access. For example, he has implemented and verified the benefit of enhanced captions that provide visual cues to non-speech information. In the ac- cessibility/intellectual property law field, he advocates for updates in accessible and intellectual property law, to incorporate accessible computing advances such as automatic captioning/subtitling.
