communicates with the Bluetooth USBmodule on Computer-A. The Bluetooth USB module driver software on Computer-A creates alocal virtual COM port. The TCP-COM software installed on Computer-A in the server modetakes the serial data from virtual COM port and retransmits it to Computer-B over the Ethernetnetwork by using the TCP/IP network protocol. Another instance of the TCP-COM softwareinstalled on Computer-B in the client mode, converts the data received using TCP/IP protocol toa local virtual COM port on Computer-B. The Hyperterminal communication program onComputer-B receives and transmits serial data through the local virtual COM port, therebyestablishing a two way communication channel with the PIC micro-controller as seen in thefollowing Figure 2

indeterminate problem. Using the load-displacement relationship, aswell as the fact that the relative displacement between the bone and nail is 0, the followingrelationships can be developed:where F is force, L is the length, A is the cross-sectional area, % is the percent of bone loss, E isthe elastic modulus, and σ is the stress. The subscript B represents values of the bone, and thesubscript N represents values of the nail. Synthes, the producer of the nail and screws, uses atitanium alloy Ti–6Al–7Nb.[6] Therefore, the elastic modulus used for the nail was 114GPa,[7]and the elastic modulus for the bone was 18.6GPa.[8.9] Due to their complex geometries, thearea of the nail was calculated as an area formed by 2 concentric circles, while the area of

In this project, students were responsible for: (a) identifying the input parametersthat would be investigated, (b) identifying existing analytical methods for characterizingdependent variables, (c) developing new analytical methods for characterizing behavior where anexisting formalized approach did not exist, (d) creating an experimental matrix that summarizedthe key parameters under evaluation during each run of the experiment, and (e) developingsuitable datasheets, lab notebooks, and other data storage methods for collecting and preservingthe results of experimentation.

Group A consisted of 50 students while Group B had atotal of 40 students participate in the study. The total number of students participating in thestudy was 90, which provided an adequate sample of students out of the 500 students enrolled inEngineering at Morgan State University. Qualitative data were gathered from participants inGroup A since they were part of the experimental group who participated in the critical thinkingintervention.

Firstly, although the freshmanclass of 2009 appears to have the same single semester drop-out rates as years previous, the twosemester drop rates imply a decrease. It is possible that this is within variance between classesbut it also may be the result of improved calculus performance. Secondly, it can also be inferredfrom the analysis of the data presented in Figure 1 that, although D’s and F’s in the course do notdecrease the course mainly helps B students become A students.Modifications and SummaryFor the fall 2010 offering of ENGR-1113 Foundations of Engineering Math several alterationswere made to the existing original class model in an attempt to further increase the

Three influences for successful transferinclude (a) the degree of mastery of the original matter, (b) transfer, and (c) time to learn.Without an adequate level of initial learning, transfer cannot take place. It was also observedthat the time to learn is proportional to the amount of material being learned. Bandura observedsimilar developmental stages in his social learning theory6.

This method uses qualitative data that may becollected and analyzed separately from the quantitative data, giving diverse perspectives of thecollected information and a better understanding of a phenomenon of study. Two sequentialstages define the methodology of the study: a) an initial phase in which qualitative data on thekey requirements for re-designing the course syllabus and instruction strategy was collected andanalyzed, and b) a second phase in which the effectiveness of the proposed instruction approachwas evaluated and statistically validated with

Student Xstudies for three hours and ultimately earns a B- on the exam. That was fairly efficient – smallamount of resources (time) was used for an acceptable grade – but not necessarily very effectiveas the desired outcome is an A. Student Y studies for ten hours and ultimately earns an A on theexam. That is very effective but could be viewed as inefficient. In this scenario, the amount ofresources used is not so important as each student had an entire day available. The importantthing is getting to the desired outcome.
