leadership programs can maximize their results through sponsorships and involvement. The program needs to make sure that the lessons learned in the program can be applied to the sponsors through internships and career opportunities. Also, the program may request that the sponsor provide: (a) knowledge to help in structuring the program; (b) lectures and presentations; (c) mentoring activities; and (d) funding. University support: The university needs to be very committed and provide resources for the development of the activities and high quality professionals willing to dedicate enough time to the development of the students

With this service for a given circuit the interestednodes are shown on the circuit. In order to measure voltage across given nodes, the userhas to: a) Select the appropriate nodes (number and polarity for each node); b) Select the amplitude of the voltage source to be applied to the circuit; c) Read the correspondent value on a numerical indicator.Service 2: Measurements of currents.
