engineerAbstractIn the fall of 2004 a college with five undergraduate academic programs decided to integrateservice-learning (S-L) projects into required engineering courses throughout the curriculum sothat students would be exposed to S-L in at least one course in each of eight semesters. Theultimate goal is to graduate better engineers and better citizens. Four of the degree programshave achieved on average one course each semester, with an actual coverage of 103 out of 128semester courses, or 80% coverage over the four years. Of the 32 required courses in theacademic year that had an average of 753 students each semester doing S-L projects related tothe subject matter of the course, 19 of the courses (60%) were considered engineering science,that is, not

Students could use the BOK to help them define EnvE and answer otherquestions on this assignment. Later in Homework 4 the students plot out a course plan tograduation that meets the requirements for the EnvE B.S. degree at the University of Colorado atBoulder. The student then mapped these courses in their 4-year EnvE degree plan onto theABET criteria for engineering and program-specific criteria for EVEN.

The input half-sine function is defined by the JEDEC standard as peakacceleration A0 is 1500 Gs and time duration ϖ is 0.5 milliseconds. With these parameters definedin the MATLAB/SIMULINK model, the input pulse and system dynamic response for the outputdisplacement and acceleration are obtained in Figures 4-6. The horizontal axis is time (s) and thevertical axis is the input excitation corresponding to Gs, displacement (m), and acceleration (Gs),respectively. The output displacement oscillates up and down with the same peak value

learning about stereo amplifier operation in order to test, troubleshoot,repair, and in some cases upgrade the equipment. Moreover, we are a satellite campus2 andkeeping our equipment and facilities up to date is always a difficult challenge. As such, evenused equipment is often attractive.Periodically, customers who sent equipment to this company for repair decided it was better toreplace their old amplifier(s) with new ones rather than pay the sometimes fairly expensive repairbill. Thus, this local employer proposed donating some of these old amplifiers, along with theparts needed for repair, and letting us repair and use them. In addition to returning them toservice as amplifiers, it is also straightforward to convert them into fairly high

The end customer is the retailer’s customer and is the source for the orders of beerat the retailer station. Once the retailer fills the end customer’s order, s/he sends another order tothe wholesaler.Figure 1. Drawing of the retailer station. The wholesaler is the retailer’s supplier and therefore is the next partner in the supplychain layout of
