Fig. 3 provides a typical architecture for an NCS. The blocksmarked "S" and "A" represent sensors and actuators, respectively. Notice an NCS may be alarge, spatially distributed system comprised of a collection of plants, controllers, actuators, andsensors, sharing information via the communications network.

Figure 3: Regimes of results under different problem-solving events.To characterize the differences in these events is to understand the relationship between Q (thequality of results from the yield of a given event) and t (the time spent working or hacking at thatevent). Observation suggests that Quality is a function of the log of time, where tH , tD , and tRrepresent the optimized event time horizons for hackathons, designathons, and traditional Page 26.1455.5research

The troubleshooting exercise was chosen because itincorporated the knowledge learned from all the other hands-on exercises. The performance ofthe individuals on the exercise was assessed by instructors using the hands-on evaluation form onthe last day of the technician-level material. Participants were rated on 4 major troubleshootingsteps: Step 1: Describe the symptoms of the problem Step 2: Diagnose/identify the problem using a systematic approach Step 3: Find the cause of the major problem Step 4

. As far as the amount of interaction and mentoring that I expected from my faculty research advisor, I did not know what to expect. From my experience in research, mentors vary significantly in their styles and approach of conducting their research and interacting with their students. At the beginning of the project, I second guessed almost every idea that I came up with and did not trust my judgment to do anything correctly or efficiently. I always ran whatever idea that I came up with by either David S. or Justin B. prior to acting on it, no matter how minor it seemed. About half-way into the research program I began to feel far more comfortable with the whole design process

notable migration of e+’s direct-matriculation students out of theprogram and into discipline-specific engineering programs to three distinct shared studentmotivations: 1) students who developed a new or greater passion for a more traditional,discipline-based engineering program; 2) students who strategized acceptance to the CEASthrough the (not enrollment-limited) e+ program with the intention of transferring later to amajor they perceived as enrollment-limited; and 3) students who inadvertently arrived to the e+program thinking that it was the engineering college’s “open-option” major.Perhaps not surprisingly, the program advisor noted that many first-year students did not arrivewith a curricular plan for themselves and were slow to select
accredited collegesand universities in Michigan to support up to three junior or senior undergraduate engineeringstudents to implement energy efficient technologies in agribusinesses. Any Michigan universitywith an accredited undergraduate engineering college in mechanical, chemical, electrical, civil,environmental or agricultural engineering qualified for the program. The purpose of this grantwas “to provide unique opportunities to students to gain real-world work experience and toimplement projects that have measurable reductions in energy usage and costs for Michiganbusinesses.”(3) Applicant(s) had to provide a detailed itemized budget with an explanation todescribe each budget category.

Nor can it accomplish thatintegrated engineering education mission with good but standalone or isolatedengineering lessons and activities.The engineering education community must get involved in the integration process andthose engineering faculty member(s) must have a long-term commitment to the targetschool. Initially, that commitment will be a very large time, talent, and tenacityinvestment on the engineers’ part. Big hurdles included the elementary educator’s lack ofengineering knowledge as well as their typically weak math backgrounds; finding theright materials to support the engineering challenges; building meaningful hands-onactivities with learning
