. Less cost of purchase: a system that is based on fieldbus technology requires significantly less hardware than a traditional system. 6. Savings: fieldbus based systems will have a) engineering savings, b) construction savings, c) maintenance savings, and d) operation savings. 7. Lower cost of expansion and change: Since fieldbus systems are cheaper to buy and deploy, they are also cheaper to expand and modify.There are many fieldbus networks. Noel classified fieldbuses as discrete buses and processbuses [15]. Discrete buses primarily focus in the discrete manufacturing area and are typicallyON/OFF action, simple switches or low-level sensors. Competing discrete buses are: AS-I bus,Devicenet, Interbus-S, Profibus DP, SERCOS

The evaluator should also be selected with the end in mind—it should besomeone with expertise in evaluating the desired aspect(s).Time is also an important consideration. Faculty members are very busy and reluctant tocommit to excessively time-consuming projects. Many successful peer review projectsrequire a surprisingly small time commitment. A time commitment on the order of a halfhour per week or less is typically feasible—any program requiring significantly more Page

students download the laboratory environment and interact with the virtual experiments independently.In multiplayer mode, the individual students – with the assistance of Half-Life 2’s networkinginterface that acts as a relay (see Figure 2) – connect to either a university server or anotheruser’s computer that is hosting a virtual laboratory environment. With multiple students loggedon at the same time, collaborative sessions are then possible where the laboratory experiment iscarried out by students as a group. This is of particular interest as it has been shown in thecontext of Asynchronous Learning Networks (ALN) that it provides for more effective learningwhen students can participate and interact as a group.8 Verbal and text

. The instructor and the students put all their class and lab time into conducting theprojects for the rest of the semester. They spent approximately 4 hours a week for 8weeks. Teams met to sketch and develop their designs, obtain needed materials, andbegin the production process. Figure 1 shows the conceptual designs and CAD drawingdone by the students after a couple of iterations. The instructor and the project leadershelped to finalize their conceptual designs. Team 1’s idea was to build a ‘multi-activitystation’ which had 4 different activity sites such as waterwheel, foot pump/bubblegenerator, torque converter, and funnel. Team 2’s idea was to build a ‘water pachinkostation’ where children could pump water to the top of the station and

Librarians at MIT conducted an experiment in 2005-2006 that underscored the issues of management and dissemination. The knowledgegathered from the results of this experiment informed them of how to strengthen librarianservices to academic communities. In its fledgling stages, data storage and disseminationare ripe to mature in the upcoming years. Such an evolution is crucial to science.
