focused on this and other findings is required in two years if a program receives a Deficiency and if not resolved will cause a loss of accreditation. b. The second type, a Weakness, is less severe. A Weakness indicated compliance that lacks strength. Showing some compliance to a criterion can change a Deficiency to a Weakness. A report or visit focused on this and other findings is required in two years if a program receives a Weakness but will not cause a loss of accreditation. c. The last type, a Concern, is the least severe. A Concern indicated compliance that might be lost in the future. PEVs look closely at past Concerns to

. However, if you can marry these two concepts together, then you have hit a home run.In our school, the Computer Engineering Technology curriculum is set up so that programming andembedded circuit design is taught via a series of courses: (a) Introduction to ‘C’ programming, (b)Digital Design and Embedded Systems, (c) C++ and object orientated programming and (d) anIntermediate Embedded Systems course. After completing this series, the students can continue onwith an Embedded Linux course, as well as a Software Engineering (process and agiledevelopment) course.

addition, personnel were trained on the equipment and technology. It is anticipatedthat as additional advocates are trained and educated, additional engagement and outreachinitiatives will be deployed to meet the ever increasing anticipated demand for access to additivemanufacturing technology. At present, key is the sustainability of the engagement and outreachinitiatives.To support the initiative, which is articulated in Figure 4(a) and whose goal is to improveaccessibility to additive manufacturing, the initiative was able to negotiated the use of a still-serviceable monochrome ZPRINTER® 310 PLUS 3D printer, originally intended to be sent tosurplus. Figure 4 (b) depicts the 3D printer and associated equipment.Introduced to the market in 2005

block diagram of the 6-input CASM data acquisition system b. An example: A patient outfitted with the CASM system and sensorsDuring the third stage students at DeVry North Brunswick worked on completing the hardwareand software for the CASM data acquisition [Fig.1.a and b], as well as a simple self-stimmingdetection system that was based on frequency differentiation method. The detection technique isbased on the data gathered from few autistic patients. Using similar data, the DeVry Brazil teamcame out with a different approach using a visual analysis technique [Fig.2.a and b]. Thistechnique offers a visual aid to the clinicians and caretakers to help identify self-stimming inorder to detect an autistic onset as early as possible

It is the other 30–40% of the class that will fundamentally distinguish it from a from atraditional dynamics course. An IDLC class will typically begin with a 5-minute introductory 4lecture in which the instructor presents the goal of the day’s IDLC activity. This introduction isintended to (a) point out important things students should look for during the activity and (b)provide a context for the students’ work so that they see that what they do in class is indeedrelated to “real-life” problems.

board the students use jumper wires to connectsequentially each of the internal R, G, and B LEDs to the Arduino’s 5V power supply so thatthey understand how the board is wired. Next, they move the jumper wire to one of the I/O pinsand develop and run the code to make a 1-second LED flasher using the Code::Blocksdevelopment tool. Code::Blocks was chosen as the Integrated Design Environment because itsupports programming in both standard C and Arduino C. This means that the students do notneed to use a separate tool (e.g., Arduino IDE) to program the microcontroller.Figure 1.
