fundamentalquestion posed by New Jersey Institute of Technology’s Ronald Rockland.1Indeed, it is very easy to fall prey to teaching students how to simply solve specific problems intheir courses. However, this fatal flaw can be avoided if the approach to problem solving iscentered on a pedagogy of Critical Thinking and Heuristic-based Problem Solving. This is thephilosophy underpinning the Freshman Year Initiative (FYI) at the Irving, TX (Dallas) campus ofthe DeVry Institute of Technology. The goal for the collaborative teaching and cooperativelearning approach is for students to understand and apply a problem-solving heuristic to anysituation s/he may face in their academic, personal and professional lives.

The specific commands available aredescribed in the Appendix. The interface was developed using MATLAB 's “mex” facility andMicrosoft Visual C++, and is centered on an object that encapsulates the hardware interfacebetween the host PC and the DSK. The TI application-programming interface (API) furnishedwith the DSK allows operation under Windows 9x/NT. Our interface software requires that theDSK tools be installed on the computer, and that the two files C6X_DAQ.DLL andDAQ_SIMUL.OUT be placed in a MATLAB-accessible directory.

appropriate complexity for a given situation. Within this class, separation ofvariables, similarity solutions, and other analytical solution techniques were used as a means toverify the validity of numerical models before using the numerical models on situations whereanalytical methods could not be extended. The impetus in developing this class is that thetraditional tools of mathematical analysis need to be extended to analysis tools and techniqueswhich utilize modern means (PCs and spreadsheets) commonly available to engineers.

themidpoint of the DAC’s full range. If this decrease is greater than one least significant bit (LSB),the binary weighted DAC becomes nonmonotonic3.The segmented current steering DAC uses several conversion partitions or segments to overcomethe source of nonmonotonicity described above for binary weighted DACs. The ideal N-bitsegmented current steering DAC is made of 2N elements for thermometer coding. Binary-to-thermometer code conversions are shown in Table I. For example, the binary 011 (decimal 3) isconverted to three 1’s and one 0. This code can be viewed as a thermometer that is filled up tothe topmost ONE in the column and hence the name thermometer code1.However, it is impractical to implement high resolution DACs using 2N elements because

, the Noral Micrologics Flex BDM Debugger for the 68HC12 family ofmicrocontrollers will be covered. It takes advantage of the 68HC12’s Background DebugModule (BDM) to provide real-time source level debugging. The system consists of a source-level debugging application and a BDM pod connected between a PC parallel port and the targethardware. It is more expensive than using Motorola’s 68HC12 EVB as a background debug podbut less expensive than a full emulator – if one existed. In the student lab, this system providesmuch better control and insight for the student debugging large C programs. Figure 3 shows anexample of the Noral 68HC12 BDM debugger’s working environment.

Courses were initially delivered live by faculty who traveled to a selectnumber of state sites where the students met for classes. Regular university credit was providedfor these offerings to fulfill graduate degree requirements. As the demand for universityaccredited off-campus educational course offerings rapidly grew across the state this method ofdelivery became cumbersome and unworkable.

The effort has met with some success and participation by minorities inscience and engineering is at an all time high.
