This particular course, which is one of thefirst engineering technology courses the students take, the data gathered, showed that as a wholethe students are slightly below the average of 2.5, with respect to understanding reciprocals. Thedata for this particular class will be compared with the data collected for the other classes toanalyze the overall results. If there seems to be consistency between data from other groups, thefaculty, with input from the IAB, will decide what changes will be made to try to improve thescores. Information collected in a course included both direct and indirect methods on eachstudent in the

The student would have to write a Matlab Rprogram to generate different levels of noise, but would not have to be concerned with thecoding of interrupt hardware. Matlab R has integrated the interrupt handling capability into aSimulink R block of the DIP switches.Fig. 5.

The driving rotating arm can rotate in the horizontal plane to balance the drivenpendulum that can rotate in the vertical plane. The equations of motion of these two forms ofinverted pendulum systems are different. This paper is concerned about the later form of invertedpendulum system (called rotary inverted pendulum system).Figure 1. a) Inreted pendulum system on a cart; b) Inverted pendulum system on a rotating arm (Courtesy of Quansser, Ontario, Canada) As popular examples of unstable systems, various inverted pendulum systems have been usedfor research and education in control design for

anexplicit description of performance characteristics corresponding to a point on a rating scale. Ascoring rubric makes explicit expected qualities of expected performance on a rating scale or thedefinition of a single scoring point on a scale. The use of such a rubric is as important to thestudent as it is to the instructor doing the assessment. A rubric expresses what is expected fromthe student and how the instructor assesses the work.The rubric for assessing the Windows 2003 server project (Appendix B) was developed as aguideline of student assessment. This particular rubric expresses the achievement of letter gradesthrough the mastery of objectives. Each grade letter plateau expresses the number of objectivesthat the student needs to achieve
that willgrant their degree. They get to see the entire faculty and all their alma mater has to offer.One other element of a degree for these students is meeting their general educationrequirements. (See Figure B) The state has developed a system for transfer of the lowerdivision general education, which is universal to almost every degree plan. A website hasbeen developed, ASSIST.ORG that facilitates this statewide articulation. Besides using thisto coordinate the lower division general education courses, the department taps into thissystem by including the technology courses in the technical core are qualified forarticulation.Another aspect of the general education requirement are the upper division courses.

responsibility while promoting interdependence among group members.According to Johnson, Johnson, and Smith, five essential elements are necessary to allow for Page 13.1279.3true team efforts: (a) positive interdependence, (b) individual accountability, (c) face-to-faceinteraction, (d) social skills, and (e) group processing.[6]Positive interdependence stipulates that successful outcomes of one team member are dependentupon the successful outcomes of each team member. In addition, well functioning groupsrequire every team member to be held individually accountable for handling their share of theload. Through design or through neglect, these two elements

circuitboard. Therefore, the course grade of a student had direct correlation with his/her overalllearning of the course material. Average course grade for all 21 students was ‘B+’ and two out of three students who tookthe course at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one received an A in this course. An averagegrade of third project (fabrication, tests, and functionality) for all 21 students was ‘B+’, and twoout of three students at ALC received a grade of ‘B’ and one student received an ‘A’. Therefore,it can be inferred that the students at the remote location (taught under Synchronous DistanceDelivery) learned the course topics similar to students in the live classroom and were able toapply the gained knowledge to design and fabricate functional

The experiences explained above gave the EET program vital information which helped build appropriate documentation for Criterion 3 – Assessment and Evaluation. • Another area concerning accreditation centers on Criterion 5 – Faculty (in the case of TAC-ABET requirements or sections 6.5.1 (b & c) (in the case of NAIT requirements). Overall competence of the faculty is covered within this criterion and standards, and certainly the activities of faculty completing an internship in industry would be looked favorably upon by a visiting program evaluator. Activities such as what has been described are very much centered around “industrial professional experience” or “applied industrial
