For instance,consider crossConnect(DS_UART0, DS_UART0). This connection is a Loopback connection,and the transmitting node is sending data through its UART0 and the receiving node is gettingthe data through its UART0. The same Loopback can be also available when one connects nodesusing crossConnect(DS_TRANSPARENT, DS_TRANSPARENT).

Within eachsubtask, we identified 3-6 different specific strategies employed by student teams in their workproducts. Deep and shallow strategies in each of the 5 subtask areas were determined byconsidering aspects of expertise and cognitive difficulty.Comparisons of deep and shallow groupings in each subtask indicate significant differences inQAG Score for 3 subtasks - Determine a Weighting System, Apply Weightings, and DetermineFinal Rankings .

One of therequirements of this freshman composition course has been that students must “watch” andanalyze the news (using online tools such as Google news and its archives) to be aware of whatis going on space exploration and how new developments can affect specific technical orengineering opportunities and society. Appendix B is an informal summary of some of the mainevents that demonstrated that “space exploration” is a
