Therefore, itincludes a lecture covering the relevant concepts needed to understand the different IEEE 802.11[5], IEEE 802.15 [6] and IEEE 802.16 [7] standards, etc. and their applications.OPNET Inc.

to promote learning at several educational levels. Inthis particular student design project, the student must first analyze the forces in each member ofa truss, then determine the cross-sectional dimensions of each truss member and finally build andload test the truss. Over the course of more than twenty semesters, the details of this projecthave been refined to produce a realistic design experience that solidifies the learning of trussanalysis by requiring the student to both design and build a model truss.In this paper, detailed information will be presented on how to successfully incorporate thisproject experience into a Statics class in a time efficient manner.TRUSS DESIGN PROJECT DESCRIPTIONThe objective of this truss design competition

Itconsists of a schematic capture program (PROCAPTURE), a simulator (PROSIM), a displayprogram (PROWAVE), and two programs (XACT and PROFLOW) used to download the designinto the field programmable gate array chip.First, the class uses the schematic capture program to simply place an “AND” gate in the design.The circuit is simulated and the results displayed. Next, the process is repeated with a four flipflop ring counter. After that, the ring counter is placed and routed into the XILINX chip(XC3020-50), using the automated design program (PROFLOW).
