Carolina Commission onHigher Education defines service learning as follows: Service learning is college student learning at any level and in any situation that is linked in a direct, hands-on fashion to the resolution of a problem or concern in a target community outside the institution.During this trip, the students of the University of South Carolina fulfilled this definition throughthe use of their hands and their hearts to help the victims of Hurricane Katrina in the Gulf Coastregion.

Affordablehardware is now available to schools: Texas Instruments, for example, markets DSP Starter Kits(DSKs) for $99.11 While fixed-point processors are more prevalent in industry,12 floating-pointprocessors are becoming more popular for schools for pedagogical reasons. We will examinehow MATLAB, already accepted as a powerful learning tool for DSP, can be closely integratedwith a DSK for teaching purposes while avoiding the tedium of manually programming the DSPprocessor.

IntroductionThis paper describes how a two-year access college determined the demand for education andtraining in a particular technology, computer support technology, and how it met and continuesto meet that demand.

When such need isdiscovered, the institution must then decide whether or not it is capable

This approach was notappropriate to the design-focused nature of the course, so it was altered in the following way:First, the number of topics and depth of coverage was reduced. Specifically, system hydraulics,pump selection, and waste management were discussed in less detail. However, while lecturecoverage of these topics was reduced, they were all included within the design. Second, the3 The design problem was based on an actual farm on which one of us (REY) had conducted research. Having a real Page 2.345.3system in mind was critical to the design because it

however is that considerable experience in parallel programming has taken place over the last more than 4 decades and a rich body of knowledge is available. The bad news is parallel programming looks very complex to most sequential programmers. There has been recognition of the fact that it is urgently needed to offer training in parallel programming to students in general and pro developers as well. Most of them however, have hardly looked at a bridging approach where a sequential programmer is gradually moved to the world of Proceedings of the 2009 American Society for Engineering Education Pacific Southwest Regional Conference

Tocontrol the forces that might deflect and deform parts causing defects, studies using finiteelement analysis and tool orientation optimization have been performed with favorable results[6]. In addition to reducing defects, research is also being undertaken to find more efficient toolpath methodologies by determining the ideal tool path layers and flow line arraignment in orderto reduce machining waste [7].In educating students on multi-axis machining principles, an emphasis has been on being able toprovide students with improved opportunities to simulate machining operations in a low riskenvironment.
