Output signals are also transferred through this interface for the control necessary to condition the flume for the experimental design. The data acquisition subsystem consists of a printed circuit boards with both input and output capabilities. The signal output contains sixteen channels with code addresses and ISA bus connectors. The input board contains eight channel programmable gain analog, three counter/accumulators, and seven digital I/0. Computer System

The majority ofstudents majoring in science, technology, engineering, or math made that decision during highschool.17Many high schools contribute to the low numbers and gender imbalance through non-existent CScourses or by mislabeled non-CS offerings, such as keyboarding, with the CS label. High schoolsalso often lack teachers trained in the CS subject area, are unaware of the gender issues incomputing, and engage in minimal efforts to recruit students into CS.
