laboratory experience. Our intent is to guide the students in preparing for eachlaboratory session and impress upon them the significance of each subcomponent and thecontribution to the entire system. The pre-laboratory assignments are geared to prepare thestudents for each laboratory session by learning the applicable new material and completingpreparatory work for designing and conducting their experiments in the lab. To encouragestudents to continue their development of technical writing skills, students are required to submitthe compilation of their design work and characterization of their temperature alarm system.Assessment of their work is based on the merit of their experimental and engineering designs,presentation of results, and overall
springs must be in place beforean attempt for testing to see if the desired (on paper) sets may be physically generated.The elementary equation of F= K. may be used to obtain the index of a spring.4 By knowingthe exact value of the mass/load and the induced contraction, K= F/ should provide a goodestimate of the Index of the Spring (K). However, one such application and estimate may not besufficient. Application of 4 to 6 incrementally increasing loads may suffice.A table for recording of the corresponding contractions should be constructed. With the plot ofdata points for each spring, it would be possible to obtain the slope of the generated line which isreflective of the K-value of that particular spring (only) in that set.This design of the

technology field use this term (convergence) to represent thetransformation occurring in the telecommunications field where voice, data, and video are allbeing transported over the Internet (IP). That is not the concept that is being presented here.Continuing, if one considers a college education at the highest levels (i.e. terminal degrees), thisnew paradigm of convergence science translates into a need for interdisciplinary cooperation andteamwork. A researcher should have a depth of expertise in one area but should also have a widebreath of interests and knowledge. How does or will the parallel evolution of convergencetechnology affect the needed skills of the graduates of two-year college technical programs? Therest of this paper will attempt to
