-Design YearFulbright recently completed its co-design year, which saw a group of 54 students (co-designers)working together with faculty members from different disciplines to design and develop both theculture and curriculum of the institution before the launch of the undergraduate program in thefall of 2019. Admission to the co-design year was competitive, with an acceptance rate of 14%.Students ultimately received a half-year of elective credit for their participation in the year.The co-design approach was inspired by the partner year at Olin College, which was an earlycollaborator in the establishment of the institution. However, while the co-design year was adeliberate choice to lay the groundwork for the university, at Olin it was more of

The students also learned some of the economics involvedwith project development, especially when it comes to the thorny issue of prying loose the pursestrings of college financial support.

Faculty within a CG degree program would benefit from an understanding of theexperiential learning instructional methodologies to pedagogically develop curriculum for an ELcourse in computer graphics.Generally, employers who hire CG graduates want proof of “real-world” experience and oftenask for a minimum of three years experience in the field. Real world experience, to employers,often includes not only the technical skills but also the “soft skills” of teamwork, appreciation fordiversity, and communication. Traditional classroom learning, as well as traditional classroomsimulations of real-world portfolio projects, may not always fully prepare the learner for the CGwork environment. Conversely

Even though, in this paper, the chosen system variable is temperature, theproposed experiment can be easily adapted to work with other control variables such as level,pressure, humidity and flow. This would only involve changing the sensor to measure the newvariable and hardware modifications to implement the new control action. This experiment encourages both self-confidence and skill-development. Since studentsare dealing with a measurable variable, they can actually see the result of their work. It is asimple experiment, easy to design, build and troubleshoot. Students are very involved throughout all of

Although integratedcircuits have been developed to implement the most common codes, the circuitry can becomequite complex for very long blocks of code. A special case of the block code, the cyclic code canbe implemented relatively easily. For example, take the codeword c=(c 1,c2,...,cn), then (c2,c3,...,cn,c1), and (c3,c4,...,cn,c1,c2), etc.are also code words. This structure enables cyclic codes to correct larger blocks of errors, thanwhat non-cyclic block codes are capable of correcting, and specific rules for generating thesecodes may be set up.The generating matrix can be
