recent research related to multimedia computer-based instruction(CBI) found to affect usability: (1) prior subject matter learning, (2) experience with CBI, and (3) learning style(Ross and Weise Moeller). Kolb Learning Style Inventory(LSI) tests from McBer and Company will be performedto assess the students learning style (Kolb, 1984). Past assessments of the correlation between learning style andthe effectiveness of videodisc instruction in data communications(Larson, 1992) and nursing(Billings and Cobb,1992) did not demonstrate a strong link between learning style and effectiveness. However, no similar studies havebeen undertaken for scientific or engineering educational material (Ross & Weise Moeller). The results will becorrelated with

MOS samples made in-house aspart the microfabrication course taught at the University of Southern Maine. 1. IntroductionThe Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor structure, universally referred as the “MOS”, beside formingthe basis of the working of the MOS Field Effect Transistor (MOSFET) which is the backbone ofour integrated circuits, lends itself as a diagnostic tool for determining the quality of the processused in the fabrication of an integrated circuit. Therefore, it constitutes an essential part ofsemiconductor wafer fabrication as well as semiconductor device physics and deserves emphasisas an instructional tool and fundamental background status in the microelectronics education,both undergraduate and

When a solid model is opened, this programreads the complete history that is stored within the CAD file. This history contains all save datesand times, a hardware identifier corresponding to each save time, and previous file names.
