EngineeringCriteria 2000 1 which mandates programmatic assessment was initially adopted for applicationin 1996. Yet, six years after the adoption of the new criteria, why do we still experience highlevels of faculty resistance to program assessment? This

Georgia Southern University Session 3247IntroductionManufacturers are increasingly automating their production lines with Computer IntegratedManufacturing (CIM) systems in order to stay competitive in the world market. The trend amongmanufacturers today is to produce smaller batches of more varied products. Without CIMautomation, this trend would result in higher costs associated with increased setup time

Lab LayoutWe believe that the LAN lab should be segmented into two sections, one segment withthe video servers and powers users and the other with their own server (s) and typicalusers. The switch will connect to the video users; in this scenario each power user has itown unshared collisionless connection to the switch. This approach allows configuringeach port for duplex-operation, thereby doubling the available bandwidth to each user5,6.The segment with typical users will be connected though a 100 Base TX hub, thus theseusers will not be

, we have e jω k D = e jπ =-1, givingH (ω k ) = 1 − a . Between the dip frequencies, that is, at ω k = 2kπ / D , we have peaks with valueH (ω k ) = 1 + a , because e jω k D = 1. In units of Hz, these peak frequencies are: f fk = k s = kf1 , k=0,1,…D-1 (3) Dwhere f s is the sampling frequency. The magnitude response of the FIR comb filter with D=10 anda=0.2 is shown in Figure 2. The noise reduction ratio (NRR) of this filter is NRR = (1 − a ) / 2 = 0.4 ,which corresponds to a 10 log10 (1 / NRR ) = 4 dB improvement of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). A widely
