benefits this program provides to the teachers, their students,and the university.IntroductionColorado School of Mines, in Golden CO, is a public research university devoted to engineeringand applied science. The Classroom Communicator Project was created when the PhysicsDepartment was honored in June 2001 with the CCHE (Colorado Commission on HigherEducation) Program of Excellence Award. This prestigious recognition of the quality androbustness of the Engineering Physics program provided the original funding for disseminationof classroom communicator technology both on-campus and in outreach to the greaterkindergarten through community college (K-14) educational community.What is a classroom communication system?Classroom communication system is

To develop a modular lumped mass experiments for integration into control systems, vibrations, mechatronics and other potential engineering courses, 2. To create an opportunity for collaborative research and design efforts between engineering student(s) and faculty, 3. To generate a modular, cost-effective, reproducible apparatus with outstanding design

To accomplish this, the industry wouldprovide funding/grants for undergraduate projects to be included in theelectromagnetics, RF circuits and wireless communication courses. This projectcould also lead to a master level thesis and could be a part of the graduateprogram in electrical engineering. The industry would then benefit by hiring thesegraduates with expertise in this area.Bibliography:[1]Khan, A.S. and Karim, A, 1997.

Studentscommunicated with each other by phone and email.

Near the 80’s decade final, there was a significant increase in personal machines computa-tional power accompanied of an also significant reduction in hardware costs and this allowedthat mathematical modeling projects and engineering processes programs could be developedand used with reasonable adaptation for the personal machines and, consequently, this promotedsignificant changes in the methods of engineering project and research. So that these methodol-ogy changes had influenced the learning process was a very few years matter.Finite Element Analysis Among all of the computer
