Career Choice Practical Figure 1.0: Schematics of Proposed StrategyEmphasis is placed on encouraging students to recognize the relevance of engineering to their own lives,as they now know it. Key points that would be highlighted in both examples include: • What led to the development of such principles? • How was society impacted then, as well as now? • Was there any technological/engineering advancement as a result of this? • Who were the key players? • How has or how can this be applied? • Example application(s)/events specific to each grade level. • Relevance to present day--making it personal. • Are the right connections being made? Putting it all together.It is

the average studentperforms 2% better than predicted and the distribution of this difference is negatively skewed (-0.64) indicating the bulk of the students outperform the prediction.Also notice in Figure 1 that no students were predicted to finish with above a 93%. This is likelydue to the fact that few students earn all A’s and A+’s in previous coursework, so very few havea GPA higher than 4.0. This prediction, therefore, fails to predict that students will score an A+in a future course. 100% 95% 90% Actual Performance (in CE300) 85% 80% 75

would cause aspark, which could ignite the gasoline.By contrast, to these first 2 examples, the refrigerator in your house must be grounded tothe earth; this is mandated by law [4]. In general, a refrigerator consumes a great deal ofpower, and thus it draws a large current. The metal “box” that makes up the outside of thefridge is required by law to have a voltage of zero when referenced to the earth. This isdone for safety reasons. Since the refrigerator draws a large load current, simple leakagecan be of the order of 10’s of milliamps, which is more than enough to electrocute ahuman being [4].The rest of this paper covers some real-life cases that show the application and/ormisunderstanding of grounding in an electrical circuit.CASE IIn a

Using the Elliminate system, we share theJedit and Hyperterm applications with the remote users. The remote user therefore interacts with therobots as if he or she were sitting in the lab. Students type commands, the controller responds, displaysinformation and in some cases moves the robot in response to commands.Figure 3 below shows the computer monitor as seen by the remote user. The remote user directlycontrols the jEdit and HyperTerminal windows. ( The “.”s in the HyperTerminal window are promptsfrom the robot controller inviting the user to type commands.)
