ideasborrowed from environmental ethics seem particularly relevant. One such methodology, firstdeveloped by Johnson, termed a morally deep world view, cautions that both the individual andthe system(s) in which that individual is embedded, matter from an ethical point of view.3 Asecond approach uses the development first offered by Thomas Berry4 and further refined bySwimme 5 and Swimme and Tucker.6 This paradigm takes us from an individual or localperspective on ethical reasoning to an Earth and Universe perspective which is alive, integratedand dependent. Berry described three universal principles that ought to govern our response toethical dilemmas. Those principles include differentiation, subjectivity and communion orcommunity. Here

This designation communicates that students in the course willapply the course material in a meaningful way to fill a community need. The overall projectaccounted for 30% of the course grade. This included five deliverables: reflective journal (10%),preliminary operations analysis report (30%), preliminary design recommendations report (30%),final technical report (10%), and project showcase (20%).The journals were done individually by each student, and the other deliverables were completedby teams of 5 to 6 students.

The difficulty of developing a communityof scholarship that meets the needs of all these audiences is illustrated by extreme examplesof the questions that the public need to answer in deciding what action they ought to take inresponse to such happenings as the GM and Volkswagen automobile scandals. Anengineering view of technological literacy is inadequate for the task it is expected to do. Aninterdisciplinary approach is clearly necessary.References[1] Krupczak, J., Blake, J. W., Disney, K.

This microcontroller allows for both fixed-point and floatingpoint DSP.The board itself does not include audio resources and the K65’s DAC is only 12-bits. Becauseaudio is the primary application used in the DSP labs, another board (i.e., a CODEC board) isrequired to provide these features.In-House designed CODEC boardThe CODEC board is based on Texas Instrument’s TLV320AIC3007 Stereo Audio CODEC.This CODEC has many configuration options and requires a low chip count for basic audioinputs and outputs as can be seen in Figure 1.

Thus, during the fall term of your finalyear of undergraduate studies, you should complete the following tasks:  Narrow your list of places to apply; generally 3-8 completed applications is a good goal. Ideally, you will apply to a range of schools (size, location, ranking, etc.) where you can make a strong case that you are a good investment and “fit” for their program.  Identify your backup plan – “safety” school, work, volunteering
