A network’s physical layer defines the physical link between computers and networks. This is primarilythe network interface card (NIC) required in each connected computer and the cables needed to interconnectthe NICs. The computer may then function as a file server, workstation, or gateway to a network or othercommunication device. In this network, four types of Ethernet NICs are used: • A S-bus Ethernet card for the Sun 3-110 workstation. • An SMC Elite 16 Ethernet card for a 486 running BSD4.3Net2 UNIX. • NE2000 network cards for a 486 PC running LINUX and 286 PCs running DOS. • Two
identified that contribute to thisunderrepresentation. These include: 1) Lack of role models for students with disabilities, 2) High schoolteachers’ inadequate knowledge of accommodations readily available at the college level; 3) Poor to little highschool to college transition planning for students with disabilities; and 4) univers~y faculty;s lack ofexperience in recruiting of and providing accommodations to students with disabilities. Introduction In the 1960’s and 1970’s federal legislation was enacted that drastically changed the educationalopportunities for children with disabilities. Prior to this, it was common for children with disabilities to begrouped together in segregated

Since performance, such as critical thinking or valuing life-long learning, is often not directly assessable, indicators of performance must be sought. If we can find evidence or indicators that the desired activity is taking place at the expected level, we can say we have met our performance criterion and thus, achieved our desired outcomes. Step 4. Specify assessment methods to be used for data collection for each of the objectives/criterion. It is important to note that this is a simplification of the
minimum with proper control being exercised by the meeting leader. Interruptions to meetings should be minimized by prior planning and by instructions to participantsand associates regarding the importance of the non-interrupted flow of the meeting. Wherever possible,allow no interruptions except for a clear emergency. Hold messages for delivery at coffee breaks and lunchtime. Holding the meeting outside of and away from normal operating facilities will help minimize externalinterruptions. The meeting leader controls the meeting. He/she should state early on the objective(s) of themeeting. The meeting leader should keep the meeting on track with the agenda. He/she should resist“hidden agenda” ploys. The meeting leader should keep

By nottapping -ihto the students motivational core at the beginning of their university educatio~ we have missed one ofour best educational opportunities. Using our architectural engineering program at Kansas State University, we have developed,implemented and tested a new model of an integrate~ application-oriented curriculum. Our department focussesprimarily on undergraduate educatio~ with two large B. S. programs (330 students in architectural engineeringand 240 students in construction science and management). We have a large number of faculty who havereturned to the classroom afler working in the engineering and construction industries(1). We are in our finalyear of a three year

overall impact of such activities the MVCS club participated in is hard toquantify, but student feedback and graduation statistics show there has been some effect.On student surveys, a majority indicated that these activities had increased their interestin pursuing science or engineering fields after they graduated from high school. Manysaid just participating in such endeavors had at least made them aware of what thesefields were all about. As far as actually influencing students to go into college majors inthe science, math and engineering (S, M & E) areas, the following table shows on howmany of the student participants entered university programs after their graduation fromhigh school.Graduation data from MVCS over 10 years showing number

, theprograms available to students clearly developed the skills and knowledge necessary for venturecreation. There seemed to be a gap between the cultivation of skills and knowledge for newventure creation and the engagement of students in actual new venture creation.Looking more broadly, this phenomenon does not seem to be limited to the University ofVirginia. According to data, the number of entrepreneurship programs offered at institutions ofhigher education has been skyrocketing since the 1970’s [1–3]. However, there has beeninsufficient evidence to support that an increase in traditional curricular entrepreneurshipeducation leads to an increase in venture creation [4,5].

Some studies found no significant differences between groups who had labexperiences verses groups that did not.

Multiple internal factors within schools contributed tothe near-extinction of shop including 1) cost to maintain workshops, 2) liability concerns, 3)focus on exam-driven standards-based testing, and 4) curricular changes for admissionsalignment with four-year colleges. Compounding external pressures to phase out high schoolvocational programs stem from historical, social, political, and academic sources acting since the1940’s heyday of Industrial Arts: 1) ongoing social stigma devaluing vocational training in favorof more “academic” fields; 2) lack of qualified Industrial Arts teachers with no training pipeline;and 3) mandated state and federal

With such clear goals for the proficiency analyses, many of the beststudents over prepared for these problems, at the expense of the higher-order skill set. Studentsmay need coaching on how to balance their preparation and how to develop the higher orderskills.Works Cited[1] B. S.
