Maritime Academy began a ME program in the early1990’s. Students sat in many of the same classes and grades tended to stratify according toprogram. At that time, both TAC and EAC of ABET did not look favorably on this relationshipand forced the Academy to separate the programs into two departments.An informal survey of the 3600 plus members of the Technology List-Serve3 was conducted toflush out issues that exist between ME and MET programs both in and outside of the samedepartment. Two of the various issues that were raised in this survey are listed below.1) Faculty Credentials. Engineering programs require a Ph.D. and ET programs require a minimum of a M.S. degree with a Ph.D. preferred.2) Clear Separation in Programs. For accreditation, ABET

About two weeks following thedate when grades are due, the SPIE FORM forms are reviewed by the instructor.A protocol was submitted to the Purdue University, Committee on the Use of HumanResearch Subjects prior to first using the SPIE FORM in class. This is done to protect thestudent ’s privacy, safety, welfare, and rights and also to meet government guidelines2 .The protocol was deemed “exempt” because it is “conducted in established or commonlyaccepted educational settings” and it “involves normal educational practices.” Howeverthere is a stipulation for this exemption that the SPIE FORM has to be a part of

for the rider. Pictures were taken of the rider(s) in what they considered acomfortable position. Then, from the position, scaled reference points were established and usedto determine vehicle geometry as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3 – Reference Points for Rider Position and Corresponding Vehicle GeometryAn ME theoretical approach7 was used to determine the optimum location of the rider to thevehicle. Counterintuitive to the adage that a lower center of gravity is more stable than a highercenter of gravity, a higher center of gravity was chosen. Reasoning is similar to why it is easierto balance a rod, with a mass on one end of the rod, on your hand, where the mass is on the endaway from your hand, rather than at the end resting on your

These 8-steps come from the MA curriculum frameworkand are “Identify the need or problem, Research the need or problem, Develop possiblesolutions, Select best solution(s), Construct a prototype, Test and Evaluate, Communicate thesolution, and Redesign,” as shown in Figure 1. Although the concept of the design process wassimilar, the content of the original TEMI workshop and the one for grade 3-5 teachers was quitedifferent.Overall the TEMI workshop is still an amalgamation of short activities, presentations, guestlectures by engineers, discussions and field trips.

can be seen that Task 2 will always pre-empt Task 1,at any given time. Thus at time t=0, t=3, t=6 (since Task 2’s period = 3), Task 2 is immediatelyscheduled. Consider the time t=6. At this moment, Task 1 has executed for 2 seconds andrequires just 1 additional second to complete execution before it’s deadline at t=8. Conversely,Task 2 has yet to execute (for the new instance) and its deadline is at t=9. It is important to notethat in this scenario, the DM scheduler will cause Task 1 to miss its deadline, while it wouldhave been possible for both tasks to complete before their deadline.
