This analysis was to be centered around the work actually performed, the technical ability of the work performed, the timeliness of the work performed and how the student could have helped the other group member become more successful. As the potential for either glowing student evaluations or outright physical conflict was great, these reviews were submitted confidentially and independently. The individual student reviews were distributed to each student at the conclusion of the class. Each group was required to have a weekly

othersresponsible for their implementation. In November 2000, we asked five students from theDepartment of Industrial Engineering for their interpretations of five performance-basedoutcomes for graduates of the program. We wanted to document in their own words—not ours—what the students thought the outcomes meant and how to assess them. Four of the outcomeswere selected from a list of eleven outcomes developed by the Accreditation Board ofEngineering and Technology (ABET) for all engineering disciplines. The fifth outcome wasdeveloped by the department and was specific to industrial engineering. Four students mettogether in a series of three focus group discussions. The fifth student was interviewed alone onthree separate occasions because of scheduling

actual problems. The place that thesetwo aspects of the syllabus come together is in the engineering laboratory. It is here that thestudent is presented with a concrete problem to be solved, and they learn to apply the lessons ofthe classroom. The larger goal is to prepare the graduate to enter today’s engineering professionwith not only the proper problem-solving strategies and skills, but also to have gained experiencethat can be directly transferred to the needs of the contemporary career. This means exposure tothe latest technologies and an understanding of their concepts and applications. Perhaps the most significant aspect of engineering practice in the last decades has beenthe impact of computer technology in practically every

Therefore, further work isnecessary to see how to minimize the probability that an invalid mapping will result.Also, sometimes we desire individuals to review project teams.

LCD. This labrequired the cadets to completely understand the programming and operation of HC12 ports,create precise delay loops by calculating delay times for various instructions, satisfy timingrequirements for external devices (e.g., LCD), and utilize D-Bug12 routines.This lab required four modifications. First, a different means of pulsing the enable (E) line onthe LCD was required. The LCD requires data be placed on its data lines followed by a positivepulse on its E line with a pulse width of at least 450 ns. The 68HC11-implementation used theSTRB line (1000 ns pulse width) to pulse E. The 68HC11 automatically generated this pulseafter writing a byte to port B (attached to LCD data lines). Since the 68HC12 doesn’t havestrobe lines, the
