introduce core computer design concepts primarily to college students studying applied science and technology programs, such as computer science and information technology. With a particular focus on single-board computers and associated hardware modules, students are introduced to core computer compo- nents early in their coursework, and encouraged to study advanced engineering concepts as higher elective courses to help them better understand the underlying design of hardware modules. Hands-on ac- tivities and problem-based modules are re-designed with the flexibility to be applied in settings that involve all in-classroom cohorts, as well as courses offered in synchronous and/or asynchronous online learning methodologies, which is

This can contribute to establishing ataxonomy of the types of data generated and utilized in 360-CI efforts. Scholars can use such ataxonomy to help in exploring and optimizing the dynamics and interactions of a tightlyintegrated set of 360-CI components.References[1] W. E. Deming, Out of the crisis.

Introduction to ODEs Differential equations are used to model a wide range of physical processes; technology students will use them in chemistry, biophysics, mechanics, thermodynamics, electronics, and almost every other scientific and engineering discipline. An ODE is used to express the rate of change of one quantity with respect to another. One defining characteristic of an ODE is that its derivatives are a function of one independent variable.
