Theauthors wanted to assure that this was true so as not to invalidate the findings in this paper. Anindependent samples t-test was performed on GPA using whether or not a student took thetraditional course as the grouping variable. As expected there was no significant differencebetween the G.P.A.’s of those students who had previously taken the traditional EngineeringEconomics course and

As a result, the department has acquired Lab-Voltelectrodynamics trainers completely equipped with industrial-type dc/ac machines andtransformers. Power electronics and variable-speed drive modules are also provided to teachstudents how to operate and troubleshoot control systems using dc and ac drives. The trainers areof the latest solid-state technology and include speed control, acceleration, low-frequency boost,as well as, different switching mode operations. Each mounted machine ha s a cutaway bellhousing that permits visual inspection of its internal construction. This feature was found to beparticularly appealing because one can

This means that the students see a consistent set of tools used across all theircourses. Although the University was ranked number 75 in the “100 most wired schools” in1999, we have found that the use of wireless technology has made fundamental changes in theway students work. Students still make use of the wired LAN when they are transferring largeamounts of data (for example, MPEG files they’ve created), but they prefer the convenience ofthe wireless LAN for most of their work. With the wireless LAN students can work anywherethey want. For example, for the house design discussed earlier, in past years the

temperature is to place sensors in individual rooms. Thesearch temperature transducer is the Analog devices AN22000. The AN22000’s onboard signalconditioning and linear output make it an ideal sensor for this application.Conversion from the linear output of the AN22000 into an 8 bit binary number wasaccomplished by an Analog-to-Digital converter.The design of the chassis was intended to be a miniature card cage, however in the prototypestage bus connections were made by a much more bulky 60-pin IDE cable. Addressing of eachcard was performed by manual jumper manipulation.As configured, the system accepts input from four sensors, three of which are located on theinside of the house, one on the outside. The three inside sensors are averaged, and
