frommismatched code-execution speeds of the two microprocessors, we have successfully integrateda pair of Synapse End Node and BASIC Stamp in cascade for each ARobot. With a Synapse EndNode on the ARobot, we have established networking capability among ARobots and the BridgeNode based on the SNAP. With an in-house GUI for generation of control commands, we havesuccessfully executed these commands on ARobots and controlled their motion as desired. Theinevitable inter-command delay was reasonable for the purpose of controlling ARobots in indoorenvironment. Finally, we have suggested a set of laboratory experiments for undergraduatestudents in electrical and computer engineering to help them better prepared for their early-stageprofessional career measured

core of the university selection process. In the twentyyears following this debate it could be asserted with considerable confidence that an‘A’ level in engineering science was the equivalent of 1st and sometimes 2nd yearcourses in four-year university programmes in other countries. This was achieved atthe expense of breadth of study. From the age of sixteen a student, in that period,pursued three perhaps four subjects for two years either in the sciences or the arts(humanities).For the most part, however, attention was focused on the schools and to argue thatteachers should do much more to encourage students pursue careers in science andtechnology. Some schools experimented with engineering subjects. One outcome oftheir efforts was the

Since face-to-face meetings involving all members of geographically distributed teams areinfrequent at best, other methods of communication must be used as work progresses. These cantake the form of either synchronous (interactive video, text-based chat, telephone), orasynchronous (e-mail, facsimile) communications. Having multiple modes of communicationsavailable is important, as the best mode of communication often depends upon the type ofinformation to be conveyed [2].

Thearticulation of care allows them to create their own meaning and narrative, which in turnenables them to better understand and appreciate interdisciplinary content and providesthe necessary impetus to actively engage with interdisciplinary research
