This could be explained by the recent interest of companies in e-commerce and m-commerce applications.2.4. Project GoalsEach of the student projects has a very well determined goal.

Engineering Techniques (ENGR-111) is a highly interactive engineering course takenby all first-year engineering students. The main course objectives are to help with transition tocollege, to better understand the engineering profession, and to develop basic engineering andcommunication skills. When done right, this course should get students excited about theengineering profession and about the university’s engineering

observations are also made regarding theextent to which students over or under report their abilities on self-reports.1. IntroductionInterest in valid methods for assessing student outcomes has grown in higher education. This isespecially true in engineering education as a consequence of the new Engineering Criteria 2000(EC 2000) requirements that became fully effective starting from the Fall 2001 visitation cycle.The new EC 2000 criteria represent a major shift in the philosophy behind accreditation ofengineering programs. Instead of focusing on resources and inputs provided to an engineeringprogram, the new accreditation criteria emphasize student learning, i.e., outcomes. The use ofoutcomes assessment data to guide the improvement of educational

Since GNURadio is written in Python, it is only reasonable to write the additional code in Python to ensuremaximum compatibility.There are numerous benefits to implementing a transceiver that uses SDR. The first benefit isthat filters that would be impractical or impossible to implement in a hardware system can nowbe easily implemented with SDR at the expense of some processing power.

Students work in teams to build a prototype,test, evaluate, and communicate the solutions to the client. This process allows students to usescientific knowledge, employ computational thinking skills, and collaborate with others toco-construct knowledge related to design solutions.

amount of time. Thewinning strategy sounds simple: just steer straight ahead and go as fast as possible. However, tocomplete the race in the allotted time, one’s driving program must shift gears at precisely theright moments. Otherwise valuable fractions of seconds will be squandered as the car races in asuboptimal gear.After considerable thought, students recognize this as a root finding problem. If they couldcalculate where acceleration versus speed curves for each gear intersect (see Figure 2), then theywould know precisely when to make the shift. Students had to write generic computer programsthat would calculate the shift points (find roots) for a variety of automobile types, engine types,and transmission types. Incidentally, they also had

The result has been somewhat “hit and miss” in the educational goal of passingon an appreciation of tolerances let alone an enthusiasm for including them in subsequentwork. The new methodology described in this paper links tolerances with some veryspecific machining exercises that were then undertaken within the same academic week.The functionality of parts produced was directly related to successful adherence todrawing tolerances much more clearly than any class paper exercise.

Examples can be assimple as a calibration correction or as complex as the calculation of the efficiency of anenergy conversion system. In a typical calibration correction a single direct measurement,such as a thermometer scale reading, is used to compute the indirect measurement, thecorrected temperature. In a typical efficiency calculation several direct measurements,such as flow rates, power, and temperatures, are used to compute the efficiency.
