The FRT is essentially the same as the Current Reality Tree (CRT);however the injection(s) identified in the EC are placed into the tree to create a vision of the“future reality.”  We were trying to grow both the engineering and technology programs. Both programs werecompeting for some of the same group of students. Offering evening courses was not enough togrow the technology programs, as the engineering programs also taught evening courses. Manyof our working students are on call and have to work odd and long hours when they are on-duty.This makes attending regular classes difficult, if not impossible. The constraint was overcome byoffering new online courses that met the needs of these students and their employers. Thestudents were able to

beats.ConclusionsThis work was accomplished as part of a project in biomedical signal processing class. It hasbeen demonstrated that a real-time cardiac repolarization analysis can be accomplished with theaddition of an application program coupled via a named pipe client with an existing cardiac dataacquisition system. Once the real-time TWR calculation program has been enhanced, clinicalstudies will begin to evaluate the practical relevance of the real-time TWR parameter.Reference1 D'Aunno DS, Dougherty AH, DeBlock HF, Meck JV.

The AAP’s aimed at students that may have receivedinsufficient academic preparation provide academic support in some of the more troubling areasfor freshmen such as Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics 1,2,14,15. Some of these programs are setupto help freshmen with their acclimation to college by teaching fundamental skills such asstudying, time management, and communication 14,15. Most of these programs are short courses(under six weeks) and can be executed in the summer just before classes begin. The offering of a hands-on course has become more of a norm for curricula since theearly 1990’s. This increase of hands-on courses is the result of COE programs trying to appealto students and has proven to

many refinements during this experiment. These refinementsranged from the elimination of “wobble” in the mechanical supports of the LED and thephotodetector (via the use of vertical post mounts and an optical rail) to the elevation ofeach, in order to reduce the possibility of back-scattering from the environment. We alsoexplored the use of apperatures and better detectors…all resulting in a curve fit to a lineof slope much closer to –1 than the far-field prediction of –2. Currently, my new studentsand I are involved in further experiments in hopes of resolving this issue – ourenthusiasm only further enhanced by the desire to solve “mysteries.”References[1] S.

illuminance in the outdoor must be about 1,230 fc in orderto achieve the recommended illuminance. The critical question here becomes, which locationhas such average standard illuminance (at solar noon on the two equinoxes)? According toCIE standard # CIE S 011/E: 2003, a standard overcast sky illuminance at solar noon on thetwo equinoxes of 1,230 fc coincides with locations at 51o NL in the Northern Hemisphere(IES, 2003). In North America, locations at 51oNL are about 100 miles north of the borderbetween the US and Canada. In other words, using this rule-of-thumb for locations within theUS results in oversizing of windows.The One Tenth RuleThe one-tenth rule states that the minimum DF in a daylit space is approximately one tenth ofglass ratio, which
