The BMS was initialized topreform voltage measurements on each individual cell and the voltage of the block. Testing wasperformed on all four packs simultaneously. All voltages were confirmed by multi-meter. Balancingwas tested and confirmed working with the packs. The Wireless BMS uses a parent childarchitecture. First a request for cell information is made from the parent to the child pack. Theparent now waits for a response. The child communicates with the BMS chip and relays the datarequests back to the parent. This keeps wireless activity at a minimum since the children only

Ideally some type of peer evaluationinstrument is administered with each major deliverable, and team members receivefeedback on their individual performance compared to the group average. Any lowperforming students should be identified by the instructor, and the team should meet withthe instructor to discuss the issue so that it can be addressed early.

. With all of the media hype, it is easy to lose sight as towhat Java is, and why it is so interesting. For many people, Java is simply a way to add “flash” tootherwise static WWW pages. However, what is truly exciting about Java is that, for the first time,it is possible to write highly interactive, graphical applications which are platform-independentand can be transported across the WWW. These features, combined with the availability andpervasiveness of the Internet and WWW, make Java an attractive tool for developing anddistributing educational software.BackgroundTo understand the potential benefits of Java for educational software development, it is necessaryto understand some of Java’s main features.

These courses can present barriers for students with disabilities who are entitled to the same access to learning resources, including classroom culture, as their peers. Project-based courses present a wide range of challenges for students with disabilities, including, but not limited to, the ability to fully participate in hands-on learning and as a contributing team member.
