informationtechnology.The main motivation to update this course was to provide better programming experience andreal engineering applications experiments to the students taking this course, and at the same time,making the material easier to understand. To make the learning experience for the students moreinteresting we implemented the following policies: a) Increasing interactions between instructor and students in class and lab b) Enhancing communication with students during class and lab sessions c) Supporting students software learning and project development while using microcontrollers for the first time d) Enhancing active learning and instruction e) Practicing program debugging and documentation f) Improving class assessment and evaluation

Specific attendee outcomes to be achieved include (a) developing a broadawareness and in-depth knowledge of important and relevant findings from the engineeringeducation and related research communities, (b) building familiarity with relevant effectivepractices drawn from engineering
: “a. There is no interest in having program criteria for multidisciplinary engineering programs. b. While there is general satisfaction with the program evaluators being provided by the various societies, working with ABET, there was also the opinion expressed that this constituent group has a minimal role, if any, in the selection, training, and evaluation of the program evaluators. Further, few of the faculty (members) in multidisciplinary engineering programs are selected by the professional societies to be program evaluators. c. There may be a need for supplemental materials both for multidisciplinary programs preparing to be visited, and for the multidisciplinary program evaluators. d

ofinformation processing and the development of new representational tools, the interest incognitive science towards schema theory and its applications for learning increased. The mainresearch lines in schema theory focused on: a) linking schemata to memory representationthrough structural networks16; b) defining methods and tools to map cognitive structures17; c)representing knowledge in the memory as recursive conceptual structures embedded inhierarchies18; and d) proposing instructional applications of schema theory19.For example, by integrating semantic structures with structural networks, Thagard 19 proposed astructure of conceptual systems that “consists of concepts organized into kind-hierarchies andpart-hierarchies and linked to each other by

The students’ primary comments are discussed below.Focus groups are conducted to gather information from students in a very directed and specificarena to generate student’s opinions, attitudes and experiences. The focus group methodprovides a quick and effective method to obtain experiences from participants. It can providecontent rich qualitative information and reveal insights that are difficult to capture with othermethods.9The first discussion segment asked the students to think about the experience working on theteam project.What did students like best about the project?Each

If this happens,camera U (for sensor D) or camera V (for sensor B) should be activated in order to take a pictureof the licence plate of the offender. The crosswalk timers are displayed on seven-segment displayswhereas all of the rest of the output signals are displayed using the ten-segment bar graph.The actual pre-lab exercises are left to the students for this lab. ASM or ASMD charts, statetransition tables, next-state equations, and Boolean expressions for combinational logic are allsuggested as possible design tools. Students are also encouraged to use these

When ButtonA is pressed, the compressive air goes through this 3/2 (three ports/two positions) valve6 andpushes the spool of the 5/2 flow control valve to the right position. The air then moves thedouble-acting cylinder in the forward direction. The linear motion can be converted to rotationalmotion by using a gear rack and gear. The cylinder will remain in that position until Button B atanother 3/2 valve is pressed. This design is functioning well except the operator needs to knowwhich button is used for lifting and which button is used for lowering. This may cause

The fault is subsequently cleared by opening circuit breakers locatedat the ends of lines 1–3 and 2–3. The faulted network is depicted in Figure 3(a). To compute theelectrical power 2 delivered by the generator during the fault, it is convenient to find theThévenin equivalent of the faulted network (see Figure 3(b)), as viewed from the generatorinternal voltage source. During the fault, Th = + + 12 13 = 0.35 + 0.15

Program Outcomes are statements that describe what units of knowledge or skill students are expected to acquire from the program to prepare them to achieve the program educational objectives. These are typically demonstrated by the student and measured by the program at the time of graduation. An engineering technology program must demonstrate that graduates have: a. an appropriate mastery of the knowledge, techniques, skills and modern tools of their disciplines, b. an ability to apply current knowledge and adapt to emerging applications of mathematics, science, engineering and technology, c. an ability to conduct
section.3 Negative Impedance Converter (NIC)3.1 TheoryConsider the circuit shown in Fig. 7. Page 15.27.5 Figure 7: The NIC, the op-amp used in simulation is the LMC6482. We will derive the i − v characteristic of the circuit above as seen from terminals a-b. Thei − v graph can be derived by considering the three operating regions of the op-amp, just likethe case of the positive and negative feedback op-amp circuits. Refer to Appendix B for thederivation. A plot of the i − v graph, with the following component values: R1 = 1kΩ, R2 =1kΩ, R3 = 1kΩ,Vsat = 5 V , is shown in Fig. 8 Figure 8: Plot of the Negative Impedance

The fact that it was a multidisciplinary team, as opposeto the more typical situation of teams of students from the same major, was as well an excellentopportunity to illustrate real-life settings to the students. The project was to be completed andturned over to the sponsors by the end of the Senior Design class. Recommendations were to begiven as well as advice regarding other options that might exist for the

In the screenshotbelow (Fig. 2), a six-router network is illustrated, with the routing tables shown at each router ashort time after the link from router B to E has broken down. Currently there is a routing looparound routers A, B and C: any packet being sent to destination network f will be passed aroundbetween these routers until the packet times out, despite the existence of a perfectly valid path tothe destination.
