Various technologies include: (1) using worddocument with links to YouTube videos followed by with quiz questions in the first offering; (2)adding Google Docs (or Google Forms) with embedded YouTube Videos and quizzes in the nextclass session; and (3) including both Google Docs and interactive videos in the third. End-of-Course Surveys consistently show that the students enjoyed the weekly hands-on labs. After thethird class offering, an additional survey of student experience with

Then the functionally verified design is fed to the Design compiler tool, whichanalyzes and elaborates the design to produce three major files: Gate-level netlist file, Standarddelay format, and design constraints file.

Additionally, we group this controlling “something” into three categories: a) internal control (internal signals), b) external control (buttons, switches, etc.), or, c) circuit control (using FSM or computer).Figure 4 shows an arbitrary circuit utilizing the three forms of control. The circuit contains anRCA and a 2:1 MUX; the MUX module has one control input to select which MUX data inputappears on the output. Figure 4(a) shows an internally generated signal controlling the MUX (theCo is a status output from the RCA), Figure 4(b) shows an externally generated signalcontrolling the MUX, and, Figure 4 (c) uses a controller circuit to control the MUX.

Unsurprisingly, ethics courses that do not respect thedeep complexities raised by engineering design and technology are likely to generate studentsthat walk away unimpressed with the ethical thinking offered them.1 It is only later, when verydifficult ethical choices are presented that engineers come to regret not being sufficientlyprepared.With these considerations in mind we have deliberately constructed a course so that students, asfuture engineers and designers, will have the chance to think broadly and deeply about a numberof kinds of cases, and through many different ethical lenses.Framing Together Ethical Theories and Engineering

On-line learning practices of millennial students in the flipped classroomAbstractMillennials designate the generation born between 1982 and 2005. The millennials have aunique relationship to information technology which they consider an integral part of life.They tend to be always busy, impatient, and with a short attention span, which leads them tomultitask using various forms of electronic communication and devices1. Millennial studentsare team-oriented; they prefer working in cooperative groups and learning experientiallythrough trial-and-error (hacking).The flipped classroom approach was popularized around 2007 as millennials were in highschool. In this approach, short recorded lessons available online for the students to viewbefore

. This technology came about as a result of developments in a variety ofdifferent technology sectors. The seven main manufacturing steps of generation of an additivemanufacturing process2 are described below:1. Every AM process starts using any professional CAD solid model, with the obligation that the output must be a 3D solid or surface drawing. This project used reverse engineering equipment (laser scanning).2. AM machines accept the STL file format, which every CAD system can output such a file format. This file describes the external closed surfaces of the original CAD model and forms the basis for calculation of the slices.3. Sometimes, when the STL file is applied in the AM machine it may need some general manipulation of the

The field of nanoscience is growing exponentially over the past years and nanotechnology is impacting our daily lives in many ways 1. The National Science Foundation (NSF) estimates that the job projection for nanotechnology will cover around several million workers worldwide and about $3 trillion in sales for nanotechnology related products by 20202. With this demand, nanotechnology education is being offered by more and more universities around the world. This implies the importance of the education and training on a new generation of skilled individuals in nanotechnology. In other words, it is necessary to have an effective teaching and
