. Further work willbe needed to determine the ultimate sensitivity and accuracy. Once these huddles areovercome, the optical glucose sensing method introduced in this study can beminiaturized using current integrated optics, opto-electronics, and semiconductortechnology and has the potential to provide a low cost, fast, and compact noninvasiveglucose sensor for the diabetic patients within near future.

It is a one unit course which meets for one hourforty minutes per week offered in the spring semester. The objectives of the course are (a) tointroduce the students to all of the main sub-areas of civil engineering, and (b) have studentswork in teams to accomplish the design of a civil engineering project, while supplying them withsome of the supporting theory, to be used

These challenges are:(a) How long should the ST need to be?(b) How precise can one measure the time for a vehicle to traverse the ST?(c) What accuracy does one wish to achieve for the speed of the vehicles?(d) What influence might the geometry of the road section have on the results? (Uphill, downhill, etc.)(e) Will the presence of traffic control devices influence the experiment?Initial considerationsMost students are unaware of the practical consideration associated with the collection of data. Forexample, how precisely can one operate a stopwatch? An initial small experiment in the classroom isto have the students “click” a stopwatch as fast as they can. They immediately see that it takes a finitetime to merely operate

Model as incompressible pipe flow, but account for compressibility by using steam density averaged between tube inlet (turbine exhaust) and tube exhaust conditions. This requires using the energy equation to determine the steam exhaust temperature, use of the steam tables, and a few cycles of iteration. c.

course at Middlesex County College using apedagogically relevant but technically obsolete Intel 8085 is a dilemma. The modern 8 bit MicroControl Unit is far more complicated and more sophisticated than the 8085. The goal was toreduce a modern microprocessor to the level of the Intel 8085 for the purpose of introducingstudents with no prior background to programming and interfacing at the microprocessor, ormicro control unit, level. The choice of processors and demonstration boards makes the processeven more daunting. The field has gone from one choice (Intel 8085) to thousands (Intel, Atmel,Motorola, MicroChip, and others). Which is the right choice? This paper describes the tacktaken by Middlesex County College, using a MicroChip PIC16®, 8 bit
