setup forstudents to achieve fundamental knowledge on the logic gates, pin configuration of the chips andin building simple circuits on breadboard. However, too many connecting wires on thebreadboard make the circuit cluttered and almost impossible to trace bugs in case the circuitfails to work. The problems could be anywhere from a faulty circuit design to the connectionsbeing loose and the board itself getting bad due to aging. Two major undesirable outcomes wereobserved in using this traditional way of learning, i) dissatisfactions of the learners and therebyreluctance to learn the subject and ii) difficult to complete a planned syllabus on time. It hasbeen found that, as the circuits become more involved, it is a good idea to switch over

students. It was a daring offering: an eclectic course whose main objective was todeal in a single course with the fundamental concepts of the three topics listed, each classicallytaught in a deep and specialized single topic course. Researchers in these fields have beenconsistently bemoaning the lack of a cohesive and integrative theory of security beyond thesubjects of compression and error correction (already individually well developed) butparticularly in cryptology, considered an emerging science, albeit an art [1]. Given the social,economic, scientific and national security implications of the topics it is surprising that moreattention is being given to the development of such theoretical basis. While we are still far fromcurrently realizing

. According to Goldratt2 the first step in the Thinking Process is todevelop a list of at least 10 – 12 undesirable effects (UDE) that currently apply to the problem athand. It is helpful to write the current state in a diagram format. This diagram shows a logicalexplanation of the situation (Figure 1 – Current Reality Tree).In figure 1 the undesirable effects (UDE) of starting the mechanical engineering program wasthat it reduced the enrollment in the existing industrial technology program. Once the enrollmentdropped we had faculty leave, and they were not replaced. Putting courses online helped reversethe trend. However, repeating the same courses too frequently meant that the online studentscould not take new courses. We had to develop a plan to

ValidationFull Analysis Parametric Sizing Code LogicThe Parametric Sizing Code is written using MATLAB object-oriented programming style. Therun time of the code is not the only aspect that is improved by combining the codes. When data ispassed from one hand to another there is a chance that error can enter at some point, may it bethe units or just incorrect data altogether. Unit errors and pure miscommunication plagues canplague a non-integrated sizing code. This is eliminated by combining the codes together. Anotherbenefit to combining the codes together is the ability to write in numerical convergence logic.Figure 14 shows the graphical user interface (GUI) in MATLAB that the parametric sizing codeuses.

A wide range ofcomplex biological structures owe their formation to self-assembling processes.11 Therefore,knowledge of self-assembly is incredibly vital in bio
