engineering instruction is oriented toward introverts (lecturing and individual assignments rather than active class involvement and cooperative learning), intuitors (emphasis on science and math fundamentals rather than engineering applications and operations), thinkers (emphasis on objective analysis rather than interpersonal considerations in decision-making), and judgers (emphasis on following the syllabus and meeting assignment deadlines rather than on exploration of ideas and creative problem solving). In 1980, a consortium of eight universities and the Center for Applications of Psychological Type was formed to study the role of personality type in engineering education. Predictably, introverts

? How would we replacethe lock system now if we had to? The original materials are still being used after over 100 yearsof service. There must be a plan to replace them, right? Perhaps a class could pursue this as aproject. Could we create a temporary dam and replace the lock doors in a short amount of time?What modern methods could we use to keep the replacement time down to a minimum and stillreplace things that will also last for another 130 years.I am also interested in how he worked together with other engineers. The leaders of the projectwere almost always US Army officers. How did they work together? One of the biggest aspectsof the Fundamentals of Engineering Program (FEP) here at WVU is teaching students how toorganize their project

, and producing a secure embedded system. The following are some researchactivities that can be considered by embedded systems design instructors: • Memory Operations and Array Processing: The objective of this activity is to review and strengthen the understanding of memory operations and array processing. The student will write programs (assembly and C) to perform simple memory operations and array processing routines using development embedded systems. The student will then identify potential security breaches and provide solutions to fix them. • Simple and Complex Arithmetic Operations: The objective of this activity is to build a strong foundation for embedded mathematical operations. The student will
