stop on graduation as professional and practitionersuse these publications to continue learning and refreshing their knowledge. The instructor providesfeedback for each to each student on the technical contents of their review as well as grammar,spelling and clear transmission of ideas.At the end of the course the students were asked to respond to an anonymous survey about thisactivity. The survey focused on questioning the students on the technical concepts that they learnedfrom the article reviews as well as how they felt about writing the reviews. The main findings canbe summarized as follows: a) Students didn’t like having to write the critical reviews. b) Students acknowledged the value of the critical reviews as a tool that gave them

The admission requirements for unconditional admission is an earned baccalaureatedegree in an accredited (recognized standing) college or university with a B or better average inundergraduate major. Although the program encourages admitting students from Science,Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) related fields, students with otherbackgrounds have been admitted to the program as well. These students are industryprofessionals and have been working in a technical environment for several years and aspire tobe in
RC5 is the serial dataoutput. These are the bus connections that apply to all other SPI devices such as RTC (DS1305),EEPROM (25LC256), RF module (MRF24J40MA), Pressure (MS5801-01BA), and humidity(HM1500LF) sensor. Port B, RB0 is configured as the interrupt from the RF module and RB7 isthe interrupt for the RTC. The RTC is used to time stamp all data prior to being stored to theEEPROM. The sensor stations are constructed identically except for the difference in addressassignments. The RF and SPI communication in the Master is the same as the Slaves except PortB is used for the matrix keypad and LCD interface is made through a 74164 shift register to thesame SPI bus. There is no interrupt (INT) algorithm implemented in the Master station
critically dependent on the orientation of the solar panel.The solar energy collection is very inefficient in stationary panels. The efficiency of solar energycollection in photovoltaic solar panels at any location can be optimized when the panel a) faces thesun and b) continuously tracks the sun during the day in one or two axis. This tracking can be con-trolled in a feed forward or feedback controlled manner. The later has obvious advantages. LipingGuo et. Al, [1] have used a feedback controlled one-axis mechanism that compares voltages fromtwo small solar cells mounted on a big solar panel assembly and activates a stepper motor to adjustthe east-west alignment. J. Beltran, et.Al [3] uses an open-loop embedded control system for thesolar tracker

Others include industry involvement, lab content, and student quality of preparation.” • “Technical currency is not by itself a significant determining factor. It helps relating subject matter to today, but student learning is dependent on the key classical factors: Classroom management, delivery, classroom interaction, and of course the student sensitivity and positive personal impact of the instructor.” • “Our university and department provide all resources for professional development.” • “Up keeping the technical currency of faculty is very important as new technologies emerge.”Appendix B lists the participants’ comments for the 2003

similar to the real world, instructional simulations are mostly used for student unguideddiscovery learning7. In a review on learning with simulations, de Jong and van Joolingen8highlight on discovery learning that scientific reasoning comprises the abilities to “(a) define ascientific problem; (b) state a hypothesis; (c) design an experiment; (d) observe, collect, analyze,and interpret data; (e) apply the results; and (f) make predictions on the basis of the results”9.Simulated labs offer the flexibility of designing multiple experiments, observing and collecting‘instantaneous’ data and results (depending on the level of detail sought), and obtainingimmediate feedback when making predictions and adjustment to the ‘models’.
