Further, issues that are unique for web-based applications will be addressed in depth. These include unpredictable time delay, security, and fault tolerance required for a reliable system over the Web.• The materials offered in the lectures will be platform independent. While in the lab, students will practice on a particular realization of the concepts taught in the classroom. Using materials that are platform independent will prepare the students to be more versatile and, thus, more competitive in the job market.

A custom-designed wind tunnel attachment was used to evaluate the performance of the wind turbine. Theexperimental investigation consists of measuring upstream and downstream wind velocities aswell as power output from the wind tunnel attachment. The power generated by the wind turbineat different wind velocities was used to develop a characteristic performance

The response variable was the weight of the collected can and that of any remaining liquid.Experimental Design and ModelBefore the experiment, the concepts of randomization, single factor complete randomizedexperimental design, design structural model, assumptions, and data analysis using MINITAB1with examples were introduced and discussed.

Students wereinitially led through a solid modeling exercise, employing the SolidWorks software package.With faculty assistance, the students were then encouraged to design their own scale model carbody, within size constraints. After completing their vehicle design, the car bodies designed bythe students were built using Laminated Object Modeling (LOM), a rapid prototypingtechnology. After receiving the parts from the LOM, the students performed finishing, finalassembly, and decoration of their model cars. The testing phase included both wind tunneltesting of scale model

As with the oralpresentation skills, students should be required to present at least one visual (graphic)presentation using software such as Power Point with each oral presentation. As a rule of thumb,the visual presentations should be brief and as simple as possible.

While this capability is also available in variants of the SMC [4], thespreadsheet-based simulation usually requires less support overhead since thespreadsheet software is already available to most students. Potential Improvements The following improvements would expand the range of programs the students couldexperiment with: 1. Conditional control flow – there need to be one or more instructions that use the results of calculations to alter the program’s control flow. The TX-0’s Jump instruction was actually a conditional instruction that only jumped if the accumulator contained a negative number. That is one way to do it. 2. Input/output – students
