LabView® software was used for instrument control, dataacquisition, and calculation of linearity data. Linearity data is expressed as differentialnonlinearity (DNL) and integral nonlinearity (INL). Analysis of the data found theTHS5651IDW DAC to be monotonic since the magnitude of the DNL were less than ± 1 LSBand the INL were less than ± 0.5 LSB.I.

IntroductionThe scientific-technological revolution that we live propitiated, among many other things, a newsense for the words “out of use”. Yes, the word sense “out of use” was always intimately linkedto the old, something that lost its usefulness in more appropriate substitutes' face and adapted tothe present context. However, the elapsed time so that it happened the out of date is notablyinferior to the one of some years ago. Page 6.88.1

After receiving feedback and recommendations from industries that hireEET/TET graduates, more emphasis is being placed on laboratories where teams of students arerequired to design, implement, test, and analyze a project. The experience is concluded with thedocumentation of the results of each project in both written and oral format. This approachbegins in selected sophomore-level courses and continues through the capstone senior designproject with less and less faculty intervention and control as the students progress in theircurriculum.

This author firmly believes that physical models are an essential part of a balancedengineering curriculum. The expense both in terms of finances and time in devloping the modelscan be daunting, however. Indeed, the “cost”of the traditional laboratory is one reason the authorhas heard for justifying the development of computer simulation/animation programs. Apersonal concern for the author develops, though, as to whether students retain or even developan understanding of the real physical behavior of such “computerized” models.

[2] including case studies in the unit operations laboratory course [3] or thechemical reaction engineering course [4]. The most common approach has been to incorporatelearning modules on ethics in the context of process safety [5]. The way in which process safetyis taught to students depends on the department (and university), with some schools having adedicated process safety course while others teach it as part of the senior design course. Teachingstudents about the concepts of ethical decision making in the context of process safety makes sensefrom an educational perspective, in part, due to the ongoing efforts to instill a culture of safety inall young chemical engineers [5]. Through informal discussions with students, the
