The objective of this paper is to outline the experience and knowledge that the team comprised of Total Quality Systems (TQS), Inc., Westenhaver Wizard Works (WWW), Inc., and the Ogden Air Logistics Center has gained by converting a complicated radar test system from a GPIB based system to an Ethernet based system. Although GPIB based equipment remains available, the latest equipment technology is becoming Ethernet based, and one of the objectives of this effort was to facilitate long term supportability of the equipment, which suggests using modern, sustainable, cost-effective technology. The radar test system currently uses GPIB based instruments to test repaired F-16 antennas for proper functionality before sending the antennas out for use by flying units. The replacement equipment for test station electronic subsystems is Ethernet based.
Cyber Town is a technology based after-school program that concentrates on reading and technology literacy. The program provides at-risk minority youth a safe environment where they learn skills that will make them competitive in the digital age. Qualitative and quantitative data are collected on all after-school program participants enabling program staff with the ability to individualize technology aided instruction. Youth are instructed at appropriate instructional levels these levels are determined through reading level assessment software programs, teacher recommendations, and reading scores. The program provides a model others can utilize in operating similar computer based programs. It illustrates that when working with youth, educators may discover deeper problems than originally anticipated and adaptations must be made to meet the needs of those young people.
