When the VI is run and the toggle switch is in the “Speedof Sound” position, the calculated speed of sound will be displayed. The speed of sound is nowknown and the VI has been calibrated for use in measuring the speaker spacing.To determine the speaker spacing, the user moves the toggle switch to the “Speaker Spacing”position. The value displayed in the “Speed of Sound (m/s)” indicator is now used to calculatethe speaker spacing.

of Mind Mapping proponents who say that:“this concept will improve learning and enhance performance.”IntroductionThe Mind Map is an expression of “Radiant Thinking” and is therefore, a natural function of thehuman mind. It is claimed to be “a powerful graphic technique, which provides a universal keyto unlocking the potential of the brain” [1, 2, 3]. According to Tony Busan who originated theconcept of Mind Maps in the late 1960’s: “A Mind Map is a powerful graphic technique, whichprovides a universal key to unlock the potential of the brain. It harnesses the full range of corticalskills – word, image, number, logic, rhythm, color and spatial awareness – in a single, uniquelypowerful manner.

Many students have minimal exposure to C/C++ programming, however, they quicklyadapt to the use of the Microsoft Foundation Classes (MFC) for their graphical interface. Thebasics of MFC application development and the use of the remote debugging features of EmbeddedVisual C++ are explored in another structured laboratory exercise.5 Faculty InvolvementTo make a course like this work requires faculty involvement in two ways.
