Without performing a longitudinal study assessing the results of this program, is difficult. However,several of the teachers involved have performed pre- and post-testing of the students with positive results.Future Plans We feel the project is well developed after this second successful year. The primary concern iscontinuing to fund VISION. It is anticipated that the Eisenhower grant obtained for VISION 95 will not berenewed since it was previously funded. Current plans are to solicit funds from businesses who do not wish tobe hosts. At present, the plan

Companies are no longer providing projects that are “busy work” type problems, but are now providing real problems to which they expect real solutions. 2) The almost $1 million derived from these projects has funded space and equipment for the senior design students and pass-down equipment for the department. During the last three years, the department has been able to invest more than $130,000 in the capstone design facility. Much of this has gone to new technology. One-third of the computers in the capstone design laboratory are replaced every 6 months. The replaced units are moved to

Capacitance Scaling MethodModern instrumentation is designed for automated control in order to create customcalibration procedures. In the case when very precise and specialized tests are necessarywithin the metrology community, it is particularly challenging to establish computercontrol of an entire procedure. Accurate calibration of capacitors that range from 1nF to100 µF over a wide frequency range (100 Hz to 100 kHz) is a demanding task.There are several

This experiment has, in the opinion of the authors, been highly successful in thatstudents not only learn a great deal of information but also gain experience in applications thatare will be useful in further course work and senior projects as well as their future careers.The ProblemComputer
