This paper will explore someof the advantages of using such a process by presenting both qualitative and quantitativeanalyses.IntroductionThe forever changing and increasing demands of a technology hungry society has theacademic community straining to keep pace with developing engineers that are ready andable to get the job done. Engineers are expected to have a much more extensive tool setwhen dealing with today’s technical and non-technical challenges.

This section illustrates how current research theories can be presented in aclassroom setting, with examples for signal timing and red light running.
