The power management consists of the proper batteries, motor(s), andelectrical system. Also an extremely efficient solar array is necessary to prolong the craftsendurance. All engineering and design aspects will be tested to their limits. The sprint will testthe boat’s overall hull design. The idea of the sprint is very similar to that of a drag race in thatyou exert as much power as possible over a short distance. Hull weight, displacement of water,and aerodynamics

feedback from the students was the need of longer laboratory hours, even withthe addition of evening hours. They indicated that most of the technology in thelaboratories was not available in their schools. Parents were extremely happy about theoutcome and demanded a second program at a higher level. Students presented theirdesigns to a group composed from the families, the authors, the undergraduate assistant.The program was concluded with a cook-out where the families and staff of the differentinstitute programs socialized. The students were presented with certificates. In all, higherexpectations with quality instruction and ample resources yielded higher results.References[1] http:// www.edtrust.org[2] James, D.

His ability towrite as “a story-teller who informs and enchants” (S. Reiser, jacket review comment7)illustrates nicely Lienhard’s bidisciplinarity as engineer and communicator. Further,Lienhard’s two books illustrate different bidisciplinarities, those of engineer-historian (The Engines of Our Ingenuity ) and engineer-biographer ( Inventing Modern: Growingup with X-rays, Skyscrapers, and Tailfins ).2.

States.Historically, cities such as Gary (where a large percentage of the African American studentpopulation of Purdue University Calumet resides) evolved through the growth of industries suchas U. S. Steel. These communities grew and prospered through the 1960s as a result of theeconomic benefits produced by steel manufacturing and processing. However, this period ofprosperity suddenly ended in the late 1970s when the area experienced an economic recession.Many smaller steel mills went bankrupt and the larger ones began downsizing their plants. As aresult, the area’s population lost much of its economic base as thousands of people abruptlyfound themselves without employment. For example, at its peak, U. S. Steel Corporation (whichis located in Gary
