this independence is that work progressed slowly and many codingideas were explored, found to be inadequate, and discarded. The end result of this project wasthat a well-planned and detailed LabView driver was successfully created, but integration intothe rest of the system was not achieved because of lack of time.

Upon graduating from theengineering college, the student received two baccalaureate degrees: one from the engineering collegeand one from Hope College. The primary component of the curriculum taught at the Hope Collegewas the general education component including science and mathematics courses. The physics majors,who elected to complete their education at Hope College, enrolled directly into graduate programs forthe most part. In the early 1970’s we began noticing that some of our 3-2 students. were returning to Hope Collegeto complete .... their degree after
