Three automobile models were selected: Ford Model T, Chevrolet ElCamino, and 1970’s Porsche. The models represent three distinct levels of stream lining. Agroup of senior students in the capstone Machine Design class was assigned to developCAD models as well as scale model prototypes of these cars. Using the CAD model and athree-dimensional printer, physical scale models of the three autos were produced. Amounting technique was designed to secure the models in the wind tunnel.

The panels were then annealed at90 °C for 30 minutes in order to drive out the resident water in the PEDOT:PSS layer and to improve thecontact between this layer and the active layer.[4]Immediately after the panels had cooled to room temperature, masks were applied and the panels wereloaded into the thermal evaporator. Gold or silver electrodes were deposited at a rate of 1 Å/s in avacuum of 5x10-5 torr.After evaporating, data was taken on the cells over a period of a few days.

539 Hardware and software development for cryogenic detector measurement L. Ralph, S. Garcia-Otero, E. SheybaniABSTRACTFor many years, a goal in detector development has been the realization of both high energy resolutionand high efficiency within the same detector. It has become apparent that to achieve this aim it will benecessary to operate the detector at very low temperatures, as close to 0° K as possible. Cryogenics is thestudy of the production of very low temperatures. It involves how to produce them, and how materialsbehave at those temperatures. Cryogenic particle detectors are radiation sensors that operate at very lowtemperature, typically only a few degrees above absolute zero. The most

Anechoicmeans neither having nor producing echoes and is a shielded room whose walls have been covered with amaterial that absorbs so much of the incident energy that it can simulate free space. The anechoicchamber measures the isotropic (all directions) gain pattern of an antenna. These measurements are takenat different angles and frequencies.

physician is designed to be holistic early in medical school. Their first courseis gross anatomy. Clinically based medical education is far more effective, if not veryefficient, as one can surmise from the cost of medical school. Even thoughengineering educators do not have eight year programs, except for Ph.D. s,engineering education might still profit some from the context of medical education,which introduces clinical experiential learning early and continues throughout theprogram and into residency.The abstractions and reductive nature of teaching engineering science are highlyefficient in terms of the metrics of cost and time and are reasonably predictive ofsuccess in practice.

Lastly I intend to describe the TEAMprogram with which we try to address some of the needs of our students. . At an FIE conference a few years ago I was discussing how the requisite core body ofknowledge expected of a Chemical Engineering graduate has expanded dramatically since he andI graduated in the middle 1950’s. At that time what little we took with us from University hadsome modest value to our employer, but today that simply is rarely the case. I was fortunate in joining a
