engineering graduates have strong technical skills, however modern professional practice requires more breadth. Additional skills in communication, team building, leadership, and project management principles are needed to be successful in the engineering workplace. The challenge is that mastery of technical skills and a broad liberal training are difficult to achieve within the standard 4-year undergraduate engineering degree program. An alternate engineering paradigm exists that is known as the Bachelor of Arts in Engineering (BA Engineering) degree. Such a degree offers a paradigm shift from the traditional Bachelor of Science in Engineering (BS Engineering) degree to a less technical, more liberal program, arguably creating a

They feel that there is a language game that must be played to assure fundability of their projects, and they find themselves adapting their primary research questions to fit the goals of the nanotechnology initiative. Some, especially those who are senior level scholars at the top of their fields, and internationally recognized, express no such criticism. They speak optimistically and with enthusiasm about their prospects for new findings and particularly, for the creation of new processes, devices, and applications.

The lower sensoris typically used to measure a given magnet’s position in proximity to the lower coil, and theupper one for proximity to the upper coil (both ≈ 8 cm range). Sensor-conditioning circuitrymakes the design immune to stray light noise, such as turning room lights on and off, and rejectsmost induced electronic disturbances. Thus a relatively low noise signal is output from theamplifier box.For many control scenarios, a general-purpose PC is used as the controller
