Models can be examined further, if need be, by stepping through eachconsecutive slice layer to determine if model and support material exist in the proper places. Themodel is then placed on a graphic representation of the build table and can be saved or sent to themachine for prototyping. If saved, the model can later be merged with other pending jobs tomaximize platform use. When sent to the machine, via a network connection, an approximate Page 10.1051.4 Proceedings

While many of the ATE projects and Centers tend toaddress new and emerging technologies, several ATE projects are attempting to address theperceived declining state of electronics technology education. One of these NSF funded projectsis titled, “A New Systems View of Electronics for 2010”, and is run under the auspices ofMATEC[5] a mature NSF ATE Resource Center. This particular project has enlisted ET and EETfaculty from across the nation to provide input into the transformation of the classic “componentoriented” electronics technology curriculum to an updated “systems oriented” approach that ismore student centered and provides for an earlier

This method is similar in spirit tothe DSP approach although not quite as cost effective or as flexible

The advantage of causticsrelative to other optical experimental techniques is that the same equipment can be used in eithera reflection or transmission arrangement.SettingThe proposed experiments introduce the students to a practical experimental technique ofcaustics for the understanding of stress concentrations in the vicinity of a hole in a plate. Thedetermination of SCF is beyond the scope of this paper.

its third semester, the program investigates explanted (orretrieved) medical implant devices, specifically total joint replacements, which commonlyinclude total knee and total hip joint replacement components. While 8-10% of Americans(roughly 20-25 million people) currently have these types of implants, rare complications canlead to device failure ultimately resulting in revision surgery and removal of the implants.Unfortunately, very few retrieved implant databases exist to study implant performance andfailure modes. Therefore, CU-REPO, through the means of a Creative Inquiry team, sought toestablish a retrieved implant database whereby undergraduate students could interact in a hands-on manner with retrieved implants from patients of local

research hasindicated that instructors should create classroom environments that foster inclusivity andbelonging. However, there is a lack of specific guidance for how to create these environments,especially in engineering classrooms where much of the focus is on technical content. This studyis addressing this gap through developing and providing pragmatic, proven, and trusted practicesfor engineering faculty who are seeking to make their classrooms more inclusive environmentsfor all students. This research is informed by and aligned with the Theory of Change Model developed byHenderson, Beach, and Finkelstein which notes 4 categories of change strategies for highereducation: disseminating curriculum and pedagogy, developing reflective

Student’s willingness tolook beyond rules and known methods may contribute to how they perceive their control oversituational outcomes. The inverse may also be true. Students who feel control over the outcomeof a situation may be more likely to take innovative approaches and abandon models that theyreceive through instructional content. This alignment, of the innovation and personal controlconstructs, seems plausibly linked in student mindsThe authors believe this correlation is worth further exploration to see if these coalescedconstructs hold throughout students’ careers or begin to diverge towards the model proposed byRobinson.

The RFID 125 K-Hz frequency is the idealtechnology to be used in places where attenuation and reflection are a major constraint. At thislow frequency level the attenuation is very little, which gives the magnetic waves the capabilityto penetrate through a large variety of materials, including metal [17].RF project structure Having RFID as the main technology used to identify the location of the local user, theSoS designed to give indoor location and awareness is described in figure 3

A PBL approach naturally introduces the student to abstract conceptsthat need to be applied to a practical problem. PBL also has a universal appeal particularly inengineering that goes beyond cultural contexts as is evidenced by the large number ofpublications devoted to such approaches in various geographical locations3-5.PBL and project-enhanced learning are slightly different approaches. The former refers toapproaches where the structure of the course is driven by an open-ended problem posed to thestudents. The latter refers to approaches where a project is integrated

Glaser’s primary aim was to identify key strategiesor “codify” (p.9) the methods to demystify and conduct rigorous qualitative research [2].Glaser’s research partner, Strauss, impacted the development of GT by bringing a symbolicinteractionist perspective to the methodology. Symbolic interactionism assumes that reality isconstructed through language, symbols, and social interactions that are utilized by individuals toconstruct, make, and enact meaning and action [2, 18].

The hypervisor environment, which runs in Xen Domain-0, can be easilycustomized, and access to Xen virtualization functionalities is straightforward.
