Since its inception in 2016, projects includedesigning (i) a rocket that safely transports an egg, (ii) a windmill that can charge a cellphone,and (iii) a portable water purification system. In addition to the design competition, teams createPowerPoint presentations focused on reflection and participate in an Academy JeopardyCompetition.

Can, and should, this pattern be disrupted?These questions arose in the context of a cultural analysis of engineering education, whichprimarily sought to explore the interaction of the participation of women (the feminine) witha culture which has often been named as masculine (i.e. not feminine).

One of my main goals for thecourse was to teach engineers how to determine whether their invention is patentable andwhether making and selling their invention infringes upon a competitor's patent.

The author decided that one aspect of class that students should know years later isthat error occurs in all surveying measurements. This is one piece of knowledge that may serveuseful in many types of work. This knowledge reflects recognition that a student knows theissue of quality if pertinent to all surveying measurements.

The outcomes reflected the fact that thereis some sort of interference that will occur depending on the different sources of interference.As the Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11 continue to grow and gain popularity, it becomes apparentthat more studies should be conducted to avoid the interference issue in the 2.4 GHz band. Toachieve this, IEEE 802.15.2 Task Group has been formed specifically to consider proposalsfor mechanisms to improve the level of coexistence between Bluetooth and IEEE 802.11devices and to come up with recommended practices derived from these.Although different authors discussed the effect of Bluetooth on IEEE802.11b and vice versa,none of them have

characteristic of a magnet school is the employment of an educational theme thatattracts a broad spectrum of students. By their nature, academy models focus instruction arounda “theme” or academic discipline. Magnet schools use an academic model to motivate students tostay in school, make learning relevant and fun, and to focus students on their futures (eitheracademic or employment). In addition to developing qualified faculty and rigorous and relevantcurriculum that supports the magnet “theme”, the school’s physical appearance needs to beenhanced to reflect the theme. This visual and sometimes tactile alteration of the school servesas a constant reminder to students, teachers, parents and visitors that the school’s curriculum isanchored to its

The microcontrollercould also store the data as it is measured, and dump it into labview later, for self contained datalogging. The freedom to modify the software to suit the project is one of the biggest advantagesto using a microcontroller over a traditional DAQ unit.The DAQ system compares quite favorably to the commercial units, especially considering theparts cost (without the breadboard) is less than $20. A printed circuit board for this design wouldbe small and likely to cost less than $10, so the system cost would be reasonable if assembledinto a dedicated device.The data is logged with less precision (10 bits vs. 12 or 16 on the National Instruments DAQdevices
