network.Experimental ResultsThe wired BMS system was tested with a 12-cell pack. MATLAB was used to connect to theParent BMS Module and preform various read and write operations. 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

. Administering a peerevaluation tool is essential since much of the course grade will depend on the groupproject. CATME45, 46 is an easy-to-use online tool that collects and analyzes self and peerevaluations of team members’ contributions. 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. Instructors might alsoconsider a mechanism that reflects in individual contribution; for example, students couldbe required to keep a design notebook47 or submit their

. 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. First of all, Java is a general purpose

The results of the study suggest that the redesigned sequencepositively impacted students' material mastery, communication, collaboration, andmetacognition. Although the sample size was small, and the results were not statisticallysignificant, it was found that students' view of math and perception of their preparedness mayplay a role in their participation and how they interact with the material, with peers, and with theinstructor and TAs.Keywords: engineering math, Calculus, active learning, redesignIntroductionCore curriculum for
