experiments. In many instances, students are required to verify their theoretical designthrough simulation before building and testing the circuit in the laboratory. Studies show that studentswho used simulation prior to conducting actual experiments performed better than the students whoconducted the laboratory experiments without conducting simulation first. Also, simulation is used tomodel large and complex systems. There is no doubt that simulation cannot replace the physical hands-on experience, but simulation can enhance the teaching and learning experience. The objective of thispaper is to discuss microcontroller simulation software packages for 8051 and PIC microcontroller andits effect on education and research

traditionally delivered in face-to-face classrooms in university settings.However, with the decentralizing of corporations and workforces in the late 20th century,potential students have been distributed far from traditional academic centers. Faced with thissituation, persons wishing to pursue continuing professional education have been forced tochoose between employment, or leaving a job to attend school full-time.Distance education has emerged as a viable option for these students. Instead of moving to theeducation, a student can have educational opportunities sent to himself or herself. Students canenroll in courses, participate in them, and graduate with degrees without every actually "beingwith" their instructors or classmates.Many delivery

The current study expands the previous by exploring criticalincidents that led to new or refined understandings of innovation, but it is necessarily rooted inthe theoretical underpinnings and findings of the previous study.

Studies have shown thatthese five pillars are tied to better academic outcomes in students. The outcomes includebetter overall adjustment to college life, academic success, and general satisfaction with life [6-8]. Moreover, research suggests that each of the five pillars is also positively associated withstudent physical health, robust well-being, and life satisfaction [6].

, “blind devotion to ethical codes will not address the ethical concerns of theengineering profession. The study of engineering ethics must therefore begin with thestudy of personal values. The final burden is upon the individual’s conscience andvalues.” 4 Engineering ethics curriculums should emphasize that all decisions-bothprofessional and personal-are based on one’s values. No one makes decisions of any kindin a moral vacuum; no decision is value-free. Beginning professionals need to be madeaware of this reality, as it is germane to developing professional integrity. Whenindividuals have had the opportunity to explore and develop their own moral autonomy,this moral framework then serves as an explicit roadmap for any decision they

learning and lower standardized scores. Children of lower income families may spend more time working and less time studying. Thus, those students working part-time may have lower standardized test scores. This adverse effect of employment should not be as prevalent with the current sample of eighth-grade students because most are too young to be legally employed. There is also the argument that standardized exams are culturally biased against minorities, resulting in lower test scores.
