Immediate ascent of tissues beyond their maximum limit must be avoided in order that the diver not suffer symptoms of DCS.• Assignment 3 -- Modeling of Repetitive Diving Profiles: Square well dive profiles are typically logged by divers as illustrated in Figure 3. Dive tables and, more recently, dive computers are used to simulate nitrogen uptake on dives and plan time limits for the diver at a series of depths. Students are tasked with extending their module to retain the initial tissue pressures from the previous dive, predict the out-gassing at the surface between dives, and calculate the continual gas uptake on the second dive. The result is always a reduced no

For 5 years he designed microprocessor based control systems for companies such as Ford, Pilkington Glass, Webtek and Blue Circle Southern Cement. He then moved to Deakin University and wrote their first electronics units. Using his industrial experience he designed one of the first Australian Engineering degrees in Mechatronics that still runs at Deakin. He currently lectures units in Digital electronics, Microcontrollers, Robotics and Artificial Intelligence. His research areas are in Engineering Education and Robotics

Theprojects worked on are based on problems derived from on campus research projects or industrypartners.The Software Engineering Technology program at OIT has approximately 100 students enrolledin the four years. The program draws students directly out of high school. Students normallyhave exposure to computer programming and a high level of interest in becoming“programmers”. By the end of the second year, there is a feeling that this has been achieved, sothere is a need to redirect “programming” ideas toward interest in becoming “softwareengineers”. The Junior and Senior project sequence courses perform this task of redirection.Since the Junior Project sequence is team based and at a time the students are beginning to

Its application in academic settings for solar cell and panel modeling has also been reported [16]. In this course, students utilize MATLAB Simulink to build a silicon solar cell model and analyze the effects of key parameters—such as series resistance, shunt resistance, light intensity, and temperature—on the current-voltage (I-V) and power-voltage (P-V) characteristics.
