the introduction of personal computers (PCs) in the early 1980’s, complex computer Page 14.17.2codes were needed for numerical solution of heat transfer problems. Access to mainframecomputers and proficiency in such programming languages as FORTRAN and PASCAL werenecessary for solving complex heat transfer problems. As the personal computers became moreavailable and affordable, and as the operating systems became more user friendly, theirapplications were gradually integrated into introductory heat transfer courses. Simpleprogramming languages such as BASIC were used for solving simple heat transfer problems inlate 1980s or early 1990s. During

ReviewEngineeringAmerica is the place where dreams happen, as evident by the creativity, discovery, andinnovation of the American workforce. These workforce attributes contribute to the UnitedStates being a leader in science and engineering fields. The U.S.’s leadership in these fields hasbeen held secure by the ample supply of a well-educated workforce3. However, for the pastseveral years, the Trends in International Mathematics and Science Study (TIMSS) has revealedthat America’s youth lag behind those of other nations such as Japan, England, Singapore, andChinese Taipei.4,5 In addition, the National Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP)revealed that 39% of the United States twelfth graders performed below the proficient level onthe 2007 math test, while

The teamsthen choose one of their bugs (or a variant thereof) to explore further. The teams write a memo tothe instructor describing the bug, but are encouraged to remain open to the actual solution totheir bug. It is

Students listen, take notes, and are allowed to ask questions at the end of the lecture orduring office hours. There seem to be less interest (by most of the faculty interviewed) in theprocess by which the course content is delivered during the lecture period, and more of a concernwhether the rate of delivery would allow the instructor to finish the course on time. The viewsexpressed by the faculty and the impression(s) arrived at by the author, leads one to believe thatit is highly unlikely that new more effective teaching-learning strategies would be deployed anytime soon, unless drastic measures are

It is mechanically mounted on the ThrusTube guide (Figure 1) withthe center of the motor passing through a 3-ft-long with 1.5-inch diameter magnetic rail. Whenthe motor is powered, the coil in the motor will generate an electro-magnetic force of 44 lbswhen interacting with the magnetic rail. The speed of each motor can reach up to15 ft/s.

and operations on sets are fundamental in discrete mathematics; Python has apowerful built in list type and set object that can easily be used to experiment with constructionof sets as well as operations on them. A list type in Python can be a heterogeneous collectionwhich can be modified. Often in a discrete mathematics course a set builder notation is used toconstruct a set. For example, the set of the first twenty even numbers using set builder notation isdenoted by S ? {x | x ? 2n;0 ∞ n ∞ 19} . In Python this set can easily be specified by S = [2*x for x in range(19)]The syntax is very intuitive and maps well to its counterpart in mathematics. Once a set a built, itis easy to index though its elements in a simple

Aluminum framed wall systems date back to the 1930's, and developed rapidlyafter World War II when the supply of aluminum became available for non-military use6.A unitized curtain wall system is also known as a modular system. It is composed of large unitsthat are assembled and glazed in the factory, shipped to the site and erected on the building.Vertical and horizontal mullions of the modules mate together with the adjoining modules.Modules are generally constructed one story tall and one module wide but may
