After more than 20 years of a critical shortage in special education teachers, this mid-Atlantic state expedited program development for undergraduate-level teacher preparation programs. To meet the accelerated timeline, one programat large public university used its graduate-level coursework as model undergraduate level program. initial implementation, it was clear that revisions were necessar...

LOW-COST ROBOTIC SYSTEM FOR PREPARATION OF LAYER-BY-LAYER FILMS. Layer-by-Layer is an efficient technique for the deposition of thin films used in several devices such as sensors, solar cells, and other systems. A robotic system improves process reproducibility, be a stand-alone system, does not demand human participation during process. On hand, commercially available equipment expensive. In t...

In the paper we present the new version of the SATVAL code for Windows, equipped with the new graphical user interface (GUI). This graphic interface, created using the Power Builder, allows for the easiest preparation and management of data needed for the proper work of the program. The new GUI is addressed to two kinds of users: the advanced ones and the beginners.

The general approach used at The RAND Corporation is that of convergence by successive refinements. The philosophy that underlies this approach is empirical. Statistical data are collected from careful translation of actual Russian text, analyzed, and used to improve the program. Text preparation, glossary development , translation, and analysis are described.

Multi-version software systems achieve fault tolerance through somare redundancy and diversity. In order to investigate this approach, this joint UCLAIHoneywell research project investigated multi-version sojhvare systems, employing six different programming languages to create six versions of s o p a r e for an automatic landing program. The rationale, preparation. execution, and evaluation of...

The new European Union framework research program Horizon 2020 for the financial period 2014 to 2020 is currently under preparation. With respect to the overall limited funding budget different sectors are investigated and they have to provide arguments on their economic impact and importance for Europe. Therefore, this paper provides information from the ICT and in particular the communication...

The purpose of this report is to clarify the issues and discongruities between educational preparation of doctoral program graduates and employer expectations (educational institutions), and to stimulate thinking concerning strategies that might be used by doctoral programs to more effectively prepare graduates to deal with an integrated professional role, including that of faculty.

The Expert program is a part of larger project (Intelligent Tutoring System) and plays a role of an assistant and disputant with the system user. The authors of the article analyse algorithm of this module and discuss various Java technologies for preparation of application.

Cooperative Learning methods were used in a university-level manufacturing management program for students with a technical college preparation. Not only were the exam results improved, diagnostic tests indicated that the students had developed more effective learning and problem solving strategies when compared with similar students who had not learned in an interactive classroom.
