It is the upper division students thathave “the best stuff” coming out of laboratory experiments and design projects to present asartifacts for the high school students. The presentations that have been done by this author arisefrom incorporating a requirement of participation for all the senior design students and juniorlevel machine design students. In both of these courses, as taught at The University of Texas atTyler, there is a team based design project. The presence of such a project is a key requirementto establish involvement.The third “Who” relates to the audience for the presentations. Which high school

He pointed out that the problem was not what kind of mathematics was taught, buthow it was taught. Even the fact that the teacher

All of the effort so far has been toward creating the n-type device.However, the solutions to the problems encountered with the magnetic flux density, the currentdensity, and the doping levels are expected to be directly applicable to the p-type device. Hence,we expect only minor problems creating the p-type device. We are expecting some problemscreating the p-type device because we have no experience doping silicon with p-type materialwith our laboratory equipment.Eventually

Their degree programs offer students theopportunity to examine a PC in the first year, however they never take a PC apart. On suchcourses students are taught network modeling, design and management but they do notphysically construct networks. The results clearly demonstrate that students lacked knowledgeabout PC technology and the basic skills need to operate on computer and network equipment ina commercial environment. This is despite the fact that most students thought such knowledgewould be beneficial.
