Itcalls for changes in policy and infrastructure to implement Technical Writing-related courses inEnglish and Chinese.

adjustment of one or more actuators connected to it. Anexample of this would be to add a decision making thing to the above example that “subscribes”to the temperature, light and motion data that has been ‘published” by the sensing devices.Using a control algorithm, the decision making device would “publish” new actuator positions tothe broker that would store these instructions. When a third actuator device logs into the IoTsystem, it can subscribe to the subset of instructions pertaining to it actuators and makeadjustments based on the instructions published by the decision-making device(s). This systemcan operate without constant human intervention and does not have to be fully connected at alltimes – thus the creation of an IoT system. Finally

Does the threshold vary by higher educationinstitution? We investigated whether the data supports using a singular combined threshold usingboth high school grade point average (HSGPA) and standardized test scores, or whether the datasuggests using another model for predicting success in engineering as measured by a six-yearengineering graduation rate.Background: During 2005-2015, 81% of all U.S. undergraduate engineering degrees wereawarded

This survey proved critical as it wasused by the CEBOK3TC to determine which outcome statements should be revised and to develop theappropriate levels of achievement for the outcomes.Following the first full draft of the CEBOK3 outcome rubrics, the CEBOK3TC developed and conducted afinal survey seeking input on the outcomes.
