The defect image and the output response text files were then used to trainseveral networks and to find the optimum network size and the network architecture.VIII Network architecture Bayesian regularization was used for training the neural networks withMatlab’s trainer function. Each IC has its own neural network used for defectidentification. The reason being, the pitch of IC packages vary. Also, pin height, pinconfiguration, and package technologies are different. It would be extremely difficultto find one neural network that can identify defects for all ICs with different packagetechnologies, pin configuration, etc. Also, due to limited resolution of the CCDcamera, only the defects shown in Table 1

Two primary purposes for this study are 1) to compare the preference for variousteaching methods between on-campus and distance learners and 2) to better understand thebackground and motivations for distance learners in the mechanical engineering department.Ibrahim and Morsi1 performed an early survey of distance engineering programs, focusingprimarily on Electrical and Computer Engineering.

Thisis a new learning system with three modules, which are based onevidence-based teaching, knowledge mobilization and evidence-based research strategies. Those modules are working well sinceeach module has its own strategy, which is carefully designedaccording to each student’s learning capability, progress monitoring,and systematic approach. We examined and evaluated this proposedlearning model at the UTRGV in spring 2018 and got good studentsfeedbacks. Therefore, we believe that this new learning model issuccessful for students to learn new technologies systematicallythrough three modules and strategies.References[1] D. P. F.

Fortunately, today’s microcontrollers are digitally smart, smaller insize, cost-effective, and often equipped with wireless modules. Thus, combining sensors to theradio capable controllers is a most predominant approach to build wireless sensors network. This project involves group of a senior engineering technology students.
