choices.Approach/Methodology This study employs autoethnographic methods (Ellis et al., 2011) to document andanalyze my experience as both a community member and academic researcher engaged in a highschool engineering project. Autoethnography allows for critical reflection on the intersection ofpersonal experience and broader cultural phenomena (Ellis et al., 2011), making it well-suited toexplore the tensions between community engagement and research agendas. The themes I present in this work in progress (WIP) emerged from the traces I hadthrough emails, my own memory, and notes I took in conversation with various people includingMr. B, my high school contact. I chose to provide a narrative approach to my themes to reflectthat the work

. AnalysisS.W.O.T. is an acronym for Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats. It is typically usedin business applications to assess the status of a company and determine a new direction. A simplesearch in the ASEE PEER database on “S.W.O.T. Analysis” led to three results where it has beenimplemented [4, 5, 6].For this activity, the students received two sticky notes in four different colors and were shown theprompts in Figure 1a, b, c, and d, one at a time. Strengths and weaknesses were considered internalto the students who were instructed to think of their two strengths, write one per sticky, and thenplace them on the board under “Strengths.” The same was done for “Weaknesses”, “Opportunities”,and “Threats” using a different color sticky for

value at one time. When conducting an IDMA read cycle to transfer data to the 80C552, the process described above is reversed. During the first 80C552 external bus cycle, the IS and IRD control lines of the IDMA port are asserted and the MS byte of the data is read and the LS byte is written to latch B. For the second bus cycle, the output enable of latch B is asserted and the LS byte of the data is read. Glue logic for the interface is programmed into a GAL16V8 PLD to reduce chip count.V.

This sensorhas three wires: ground, power, and Data.

The requirement cost of a course is being definedas the longest possible chain of prerequisites that contains the respective course. For example, ifcourse D has as prerequisite course C, and course C has as prerequisite course B, and course Bhas as prerequisite course A, this would make a chain of prerequisites of requirement-cost 3 forcourse A. The longest chain that can be found for course A will be its associated requirement-cost. To reflect a worst case scenario, for this cost, the corequisites are being treated asprerequisites.Based on the requirement cost, the algorithm will try to schedule the courses with the highestcost first, thus minimizing the

I didface a unique situation while grading them–-being honors college students they performed sowell that the grade distribution, rather than being normal, was heavily skewed toward the highend..Concluding remarksThe instruction of manufacturing to honors college students-- mostly liberal-arts major--as aseminar has been a unique experience. The discussions in this article illustrate how theeducation of manufacturing can be broadened to unconventional students. It seems thatmanufacturing can be a popular college course. I intend to offer again the course discussed inthis article.Bibliography1. The Challenge of Manufacturing--Race Against Time and
