Applied sciences focus scientific theory to purposeful activity.Technology and engineering, on the other hand, put applied science to work efficiently in aprocess context. While science seeks basic understanding, technology and engineering areprimarily goal-oriented activities in response to societal needs [4,5].Technical and engineering knowledge can take three forms. Descriptive knowledge describesthings as they are, usually rules, general concepts, and principles in a narrative manner.Prescriptive knowledge is the technical know-how gained from repeated application ofdescriptive

design at the undergraduate level.Many degree programs utilize a sequence that introduces theoretical concepts with a statics andstrength of materials course that is then followed by an additional course or courses dedicated tostructural design with wood, steel, masonry, and concrete. Historically, this content has beencovered in dedicated structures courses that were to some extent independent of other key designcomponents of the curriculum.Such a strategy does not support the recent shift among the accrediting bodies for professionaleducation in architecture and architectural engineering. Structural design criteria are increasinglyemphasizing outcomes focusing on structural systems in support of a more holistic understandingof the functional

From the instructor’s point of view, assigning such a projectrequires significant amount of time to help troubleshoot problems as well as for hardwaredemonstration of the project. More data still needs to be gathered to assess the effectiveness ofthe project and whether learning objectives related to practical skills are being met by completingthe project. Feedbacks from companies should also be sought to verify whether students goinginto their new engineering program are prepared better when performing their work.AcknowledgmentThe author wish to thank Linear Technology for providing the full support on the boost LEDdriver project.Bibliography1.

Thus, it is essential that undergraduatestudents in ceramics/materials programs develop strong experimental skills. Properly designedlaboratory exercises aid in the development of these skills, plus they can be an excellent methodto reinforce topics from lecture classes with hands-on experience.At the University of Missouri-Rolla, the curriculum in the Ceramic Engineering department isdesigned to provide undergraduates with a mix of fundamental understanding and practical,hands-on skills.2 The sequence

Many companies brought confusion and conflict to their organizations as theywould try out the latest "program of the month" with short-term success at best, and no long-termsuccess in general. Their engineers began comparing such improvement initiatives and werehungry for reassurance that the initiatives are, deep inside, members of the same team workingtowards a common goal.2 Unfortunately, the confusion worsened. Where then does "six-sigma" enter into all of this? In General Electric's search for a newinitiative, CEO, Jack Welch, visited Motorola resulting in his adopting six-sigma in 1995.

So Scott wrote a "shell" for Stone – an animation program that had buttons to changethe numeric parameters of a fairly simple dynamic system. The design was expressed as aseries of related Java objects in an event-driven model. Stone subsequently used the shelland inserted the “vibration” code for several applications.4.1 Java objectsIt is easy for learners in this area – i.e. those wanting to learn how to write Java – to getdiscouraged by the jargon surrounding the subject.
