Each team receives twoZigBee radios. Students learn to use the free software X-CTU to set up the radios for wirelesscommunication, as illustrated in Fig. 1. There are two settings to be used: One is two radiostalking exclusively to each other. In this case, the radios are configured such that the DestinationAddress High/Low (DH/DL) of one radio is the Serial Number High/Low (SH/SL) of the otherradio. The other setting is for one radio (coordinator) to communicate with multiple radios. Inthis case, the coordinator has 0 as DH and FFFF as DL, as shown in Fig. 1 (a, b).A

Three conditions must be met: a) gaps in the bridge deck are not to exceed 2 mm. b) a block of wood (5 cm x 5 cm x 10 cm), representing a car, must be able to move the entire length of the span unobstructed. c) the deck of the bridge must not be more than 5 cm above or below the ends of the bridge at any point along its length.5

A specific version of this test is the Pearson’s Page 26.34.4Chi-square test that compares the expected value of an occurrence to the actual occurrence rate.Retention rate data is discrete because a person can only be in a state of ‘Yes’ (the person wasretained) or ‘No’ (the person was not retained).

Our course evaluationdealt with these three topics.Freshman Performance in Engineering EconomyAs noted earlier, the integrated course (EGR 120) is part of the standard curriculum forengineering freshmen. Part of the motivation for the revision in teaching techniques was aconcern about how freshmen would perform in the course. We have offered theintegrated course over a period of two semesters: Spring 1998 (6 sections), Fall 1998 (1section). Thus, many of the students who enrolled in the course were second-termfreshmen. Mercer’s grading system is as follows: A, B+, B, C+, C, D
