Thefunction of the relays in this project is to operate as switches to control the operations ofthe different units depending on the conditions set by the operator. Figure 7 shows thetransistor circuit in saturation. There are four sets of relays in the project design. Thetransistor circuit connected to the set of the four relay circuits is shown in Figure 8.

generates its own carrier signal. Thecircuit operates due to the action of the message signal driving the bias point of the Page 13.367.7oscillating transistor. As the amplitude of the message signal varies, the oscillationfrequency varies proportionally, thus creating an FM signal. To operate, this circuitrequires an appropriately High-Q inductor-capacitor pair (L1 and C2). Additionally, thevariable capacitor C2 controls the oscillator frequency, which roughly supports a centerfrequency range of 80–120 MHz.This circuit uses a fairly low-level message signal amplitude of less than 100 Vrms . If sodesired, the output level of the FM signal can be varied by

There is no better demonstration of value of theprogram in motivating and educating youth. Audience members were so impressed that theyasked to schedule a Q&A session with the students in a separate room so the dialogue
Water and Energy Education that theyhad designed previously. The first task was to provide a qualitative theory of water powerusage as well as a discussion about the impact of water power historically and locally.The discussion was very productive because of the community college's location inMassachusetts within an area central to America’s Industrial Revolution in the late 1800s.One of the field trips was a visit to a local hydro-electric plant near the college. Thecurriculum also included simple fluid mechanics, and terms such as head, flow anddiameter of a pipe.The quantitative section of the water power activity was to understand the principles ofthe flow equation, [Q = 0.62 * (cross-sectional area)*(2gh) 1/2]. This equation wassupported

Students were also taught correct procedures forinstalling SMA connectors to their fabricated components to permit convenient testing and tohave a modular system capable of easy component replacement.Teaching ConceptsThe instructor used an interactive lecture format focusing on elements from the project as elicitedfrom a Q&A session at the start of the lecture. The primary focus of the lecture was to providesufficient background to understand the theoretical aspects required to succeed at transitioningfrom a technician (focus on instrumentation and manufacturing) to an engineer (focus oninterpretation and adapting design or measurement procedures). Example problems were alsoassigned to students, but were not collected or graded

While unit tests are completed anywhere and graded online, Review Tests are taken duringoffice hours to ensure the course is completed in good faith. Students must also pass a Q&A aftereach Review Test which provides an opportunity for personal feedback. Units 4-7 coveradvanced C concepts. Units 8-10 introduce MATLAB and units 11-13 introduce Object-OrientedProgramming in JAVA.

Futureresearch should therefore look at implementing virtual engineering design teams in newcollege students and study how to effectively implement and manage these types of teamsin order to achieve greater success.References[1] Wang, Q., Huang

Thiswould free up the selection choices of interns and eliminate possible duplication of material.The academic leaders of the Software Engineering Masters’ degree program(s), which theorganization will use in the future for its software engineering interns, should be invited to abriefing with the organization’s management and a small cross section of employees so they canbetter understand the daily functions of the organization. A short panel session withorganizational management followed by an open Q&A session and, perhaps, one-on-onediscussions with a cross section of individual employees could substantially increase theunderstanding faculty would have of the interns’ academic needs.There is a very diverse range of continuing professional

Weaver’s Method is highly complex and involves such conceptsas analytical signals using in-phase(I) and quadrature(Q)components. Signals in the 20 meter HFamateur radio band were received (see figure 11). This demonstration could have also beencarried out using pre-recorded signals captured by the USRP. Figure 11.
