engineeringnotebook can be used as a reference on their test(s). The notebooks are the common 9-3/4" x 7-1/2", 80 – 100 page composition books carried by office supply store chains for about $2.50.Students typically paste a subset of lecture slides, reference tables, classroom examples, andstudent-developed decision trees in the notebooks. An advantage of the journal entry format isthat students may take ownership of the format and express difficult concepts through alternatetypologies. Figure 5 above, for example, demonstrates a very linear or analytical format,whereas students display information from a more conceptual framework. In addition, the course incorporates on-line spreadsheet templates for normal probabilityplots; continuous variables

For an effect well-separated from the control category, s will be small for a given µ1 / µ2 (since the categoryvariances σ12 and σ 22 will be small), thus d will be “large.” For cases where either category isdispersed (and therefore has a larger category variance) the increased value of s serves toreduce the distance between categories and d will be “small.”For the at-risk students in Circuits & Systems, Cohen’s effect size was

To support the chimney from lateralloads, guide wires were also used. Calculations were established to find the size of cablingneeded to support the structure based on estimated weight and average wind. Safetyconsiderations were double checked with the campus Safety Office prior to and duringconstruction.Turbine Design:The only moving parts of the Solar Chimney are the turbine assembly and power generationunit. In the prototype chimney an average air velocity of approximately 2 m/s was created in thechimney. The low wind velocity complicated the turbine

For the most part,they offer the qualified student: 1) the possibility to earn their BS and MS degrees in less time than it would take to pursue both degrees separately, and 2) the opportunity to deepen and diversify their technical and professional skills, which will help make them more competitive and marketable in the global marketplace.As BS/MS programs grew more popular
