This type of research usually falls under the scholarship of discovery.Consequently, research activities are segregated from the other activities

(+5, +3.3, +2.5, +1.8, +1.5 Vdc) There is an audio codec (TI ALV320C23 16 bit audio codec) mounted on the bottom of the board. Communication is via the RS232 port (DB9). To configure the board a JTAG header is provided. There are also some miscellaneous features, 8 dip switches, dual 7 segment display, 8 leds, 2 pushbutton switches, 50 Mhz oscillator and an additional oscillator socket.(1

Question 4 of the design task is “if you hadunlimited access to children, parents, experts, etc., how would you include each in the designprocess and what information would you want to learn from each?” The question was generallyanswered with only the persons itemized in the question and each was generally asked what theiropinions are, so these answers did not provide substantial new information in comparison toQuestion 3.DiscussionThe main expectation is that the students in the summer session increased their understanding ofhuman-centered design as a result of the immersive design

The actual implementation of problem-based education always begins with the problem.The problem must come FIRST in the instructional process. It is the problem which provides thereason for learning, but more importantly the problem defines the context in which learning willoccur. The context in which learning occurs then defines what is to be learned and how it will belearned. This first step in implementing problem-based learning is exactly the reverse of mosttraditional teaching methods in engineering and technical courses. Traditional teachingtechniques generally call for the presentation of concepts, skills and procedures

The University of South Australia has identified seven generic ‘qualities’ as desirablein its graduates and the design of each program must now demonstrate how it will enablegraduates to acquire these qualities.The seven qualities are: 1. Graduates will be able to operate effectively with and upon a body of knowledge of sufficient depth to begin professional practice. 2. Graduates will be prepared for life-long learning in pursuit of ongoing personal development and excellence in their professional practice. 3. Graduates
