(1) What are the computer peripheral devices in the diagram?
(2) Which are input / output devices?

1. input devices, which interact with or send data from the user to the computer (mice, keyboards, etc.)

2. output devices, which provide output to the user from the computer (monitors, printers, etc.)

3. input/output devices that perform both functions.

1 - scanner (I)
2 - CPU (processor)
3 - RAM (memory)
4 - cards (I/O)
5 - power supply (power)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
I had created a video on Touchscreens previously (last year). I didn't expect the video to reach out all over the world but it did. It's my most viewed video till today and many people were not able to understand the voice over due to my accent.

6. Week 1 and 2 Lab - Information searching and presentation skills

# data[].attributes.body
Week 1: Using Google / Youtube / Library / Journal database to search information
In Week 1 lab, each group has been allocated and asked to produce a possible solution to one of the Engineering Challenges of the Century.
The group leader shall allocate different tasks to the group members, e.g. getting background information of the topic, working potential solutions, developing the art of the PowerPoint etc.

Week 2: Using PowerPoint
All the groups will be preparing a presentation in PowerPoint using the information gathered in Week 1.

Group Work - Engineering Challenges of the Century:

1. ADVANCE PERSONALIZED LEARNING

2. MAKE SOLAR ENERGY ECONOMICAL

3. ENHANCE VIRTUAL REALITY

4. REVERSE-ENGINEER THE BRAIN

5. ENGINEER BETTER MEDICINES

6. ADVANCE HEALTH INFORMATICS

7. RESTORE AND IMPROVE URBAN INFRASTRUCTURE

8. SECURE CYBERSPACE

9. PROVIDE ACCESS TO CLEAN WATER

10. PROVIDE ENERGY FROM FUSION

11. PREVENT NUCLEAR TERROR

12. MANAGE THE NITROGEN CYCLE

13. DEVELOP CARBON SEQUESTRATION METHODS

14. ENGINEER THE TOOLS OF SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY

15. PROLONG THE BATTERY LIFE ON MOBILE PHONES

16. VIABLE ALTERNATIVE ENERGY SOURCES

Week 1 - 2 instructions:

Step 1: In the Lecture Week 1, each group leader picks up an Engineering Challenges of the Century.

Step 2: In the Lab Week 1, by using your IT skills such as searching the internet and / or library, group members work collaboratively to collect information and investigate a solution as far as you can to deal with the challenge.

Step 3: In the Lab Week 2, each group prepares a presentation in PowerPoint to present the engineering challenge and your solutions. For the PowerPoint, 5 slides maximum, using diagrams in your PowerPoint presentation is recommended, try to make a good art in your PowerPoint*. At the end of Lab Week 2, each group leader emails one PowerPoint file to the module leader on yangx26@cf.ac.uk

Step 4: In Week 3 Lecture, each group presents the PowerPoint for 4 minutes ONLY.
