paper), have receivedvarious awards as the result of their work (e.g. Figure 1, Figure 8) from Airbus, Bosch and othercompanies ([63] examples of student awards). In all the above projects, the initial research workincluding literature review, feasibility study, and proof of concept have been carried out by thefaculty supervisor (e.g. [52], [53]), prior to introducing the topics to the students. Therefore, thestudents with little research experience, who are not in fact expected to perform advancedengineering research, can manage the projects successfully, while under supervision of the(faculty) advisor. In a research-led project, students are generally very successful in the hands-onwork, development, and implementation of the project (e.g. in

Senior design projects additionally allow the industries to identifypotential talents for employment and recruiting benefits. Strategic Interdisciplinary Research Grant ProgramBuilding prototype components in turbomachinery can be very costly, and that is the main reasonstudent senior design projects in turbomachinery do not often reach the stage of building the actualdevice. These projects are sometimes limited to 3D print using plastic material. We took advantageof a grant for research initiatives given by the Office of Research at Cal Poly Pomona

Other types of programmable anti-fuses exist, but for the purposes of this paper we will assume a metal- to-metal type cell which can be fabricated above our transistor array, and, therefore, shows a lower bit-cell area.

Research Project Task: Design a Non-Volatile Latch using Anti-Fuse Memory Technology The latch is the most fundamental unit of binary data storage. A Non-Volatile (NV) latch is a type that does not lose its binary state when the power supply is lost. The use of non-volatile latches includes storage

Thepresentations address the following topics: Organizing the Capstone Team, Creating a PositiveTeam Culture, Learning as a Team, Making Decisions and Addressing Conflicts, andDeveloping Communication Skills. A primary objective for the presentations is to persuadecapstone teams to do what the research says effective teams do. The initial presentation onorganizing the capstone team is based on recommendations gathered from the interviews citedin this report, while the remaining presentations are based on a literature review written byEduardo Salas and colleagues that outline the “the attitudes, behaviors and cognitions thatconstitute team competencies”9.

template for future modules of other biomedical systems that have well-studied behaviors. In subsequent courses, students perform the glucose tolerance test modeled inthis module on themselves and record the results. Efforts are currently underway to integratethese results with this module, and future work as well. We are hopeful that this type ofintegrative module will continue to be successful and that it will initiate the development ofadditional modules that can be used to both develop student’s computational skill and systems-level thinking, while also serving as a research platform for faculty seeking to develop or modifyexisting engineering models of biomedical system.Works Cited[1] M.

Additionally, in the interest of safetyfor both students and equipment, an initial tutorial, such as pre-class work and the presence ofthe instructor during laboratory sessions is recommended.Bibliography1 Bishop, J.L. and Verleger, M.A. "The flipped classroom: a survey of the research" 120th ASEE Annual Conference & Exposition, June 2013.2.
