To achieve deeper understanding and learning, it was considered prudent to provide some facility which could be used to access additional internal register and/or control signal values. Unassigned output pins and seven segment decoders were setup for such additional registers and control signals as seen in Figure 9. Even though reassigning pins will decrease accessibility to standard registers, a user or a designer can observe and verify the internal working of a module for planned system improvement or expansion.Figure 8: Locations of WIMP51 register and control signal access as part of the standard viewing

Strategic Plan:  Goal 1: Transform lives through meaningful learning experiences  Goal 2: Inspire, nurture and empower scholarship, creativity, discovery, innovation and entrepreneurial initiatives.The Project CollaborationOne challenge faced in the first year of the project collaboration was that the art and engineeringclasses met on different days. This meant that aside from one scheduled meeting outside of classtimes, the students were strongly requested to meet several times over the length of the projectoutside of class times. This did not work as hoped. While some teams did meet, othersencountered difficulty finding times to meet as a full team or reported a breakdown incommunication. There was a general sense of frustration

been part of modern society for more than 50 years. There are several softwaredevelopment methodologies in use today. Traditional methodologies use comprehensiveplanning, detailed documentation, and expansive designs for developing software. Since 2001,more recent methodologies such as agile modeling, have gained significant attention from thesoftware engineering community. Some of the characteristics of agile modeling are (a) shortdevelopment cycles, (b) incremental planning, (c) continuous feedback, (d) reliance oncommunication, and (e) evolutionary design7. Thus, agile software development is an approachto software development under which requirements and solutions evolve through thecollaborative effort of self-organizing and cross

The fuel and oxidant consumption calculation in fuel cells wasone of the essential skills required for passing the course. The formulas for fuel and oxidantconsumption derived from the basic Faraday Law contain the number of electrons involved inthe reaction.

To investigate the upperclassmen retention (junior andsenior engineering students), one may consider: gender; academic ability (scores inprerequisites); academic preparation (hours studies); work plan (hours per week); socialintegration (friends, participation in group work, and contact with faculty members). Inthis study, our objective is to focus on the most important issues. Those issues include,but are not limited to, instruction; advising; and student’s concern. Such elements aremore likely to impact retention and thus must be given high priority.
