Once the parallel data is converted to serial form andframed for transmission, it will be transmitted at the set Baud Rate. The light emitting diode (LED) onthe transmission line is utilized to show the transmitted serial bits.The program for this project is a “software driver” that binds the computer and the external systemhardware. Figure 5 displays the schematic diagram of the system software. The program code inQuick Basic (Q-Basic) language is listed in Appendix A, and the program code in C language is listed inAppendix B.

engineering management is being taught to undergraduatestudents in the U.S. It includes a look at the issues in undergraduate engineering managementprograms and what may be driving the development of these programs. This includes definingengineering management, examining similar programs, and the justification of undergraduateengineering management education.IntroductionIn recent years, engineering management programs have seen rapid growth. However, most ofthis growth has been at the graduate level. These programs have been created to address the factthat many engineers eventually become managers. These engineers for the most part have verylittle, if any, management skills at the bachelor level. Traditionally, companies have promotedengineers that

In addition, both potentialstudents and parents visiting campus have been excited about the potential for the students to livein the Engineering Center. Many have expressed surprise at the priority given to student success.Evaluations of the learning improvements facilitated by the Center have generally, but notalways, been very positive.

Thecoupling of microelectronic design, materials science and heat dissipation requires the analysisof simulations, the sequencing to experiments with new simulations and the fabrication ofdevices based on initial results. This coupling of the ECE and ME disciplines also requires amultidisciplinary team, with students and faculty who are centered on the two poles of theapplied engineering science.The impact that this interdisciplinary program has on the student and the microelectronicsindustry is of a major significance.

Sophomore and junior women and men engineering studentscompleted one of two tests where the test questions were a subset of previous FEE questions.One test was comprised of primarily difficult questions while the other was made up of mostlyeasy questions. From a stereotype threat perspective, a student’s concern about beingstereotyped by others should be highest when two factors are at play: (i) the student isperforming poorly (e.g. the questions are difficult); and, (ii) a stereotype might be applied to thestudent (e.g. the stereotype that women are not good at math). Based on previous research, it isin this situation that differences between men’s and women’s performance should emerge. Thedata in this study are consistent with this

leaving the student unable to perceive the presence of a force or moment ina real life situation. Moreover, students cannot learn Statics in a very abstract way and then beexpected in later courses to apply those ideas to real artifacts. Along with many faculty, we aredisappointed with the extent to which students are able to use Statics in the analysis and designof mechanical systems and structures which they confront in their subsequent education1, andlater in their professional careers. We believe that physical experiences with forces andmoments that act between, or within, objects must be part and parcel of the very earliestexposure to Statics.Statics is taught traditionally in the context of rigid bodies, and it is logically consistent

The latter course was much easier for the students since it was mathematical.The students did have trouble with symbols and some technical words. For example, thewords "Fanno" and "Rayleigh" were particularly troublesome. It was difficult to explain, inEnglish, that these were only names of curves and had no other meaning. "Upstream" and"downstream" were also hard to explain in English. One of the rules of the course was thatonly English would be used.
