tailored toward the companies’ products.Normally these processes concentrate on in-company data management and dimensional synthesis morethan they do on type synthesis. Also, while theoretical techniques for product redesign exist, they are notnormally included in these design processes, thus making the potential redesign process informal and notstandardized.A new comprehensive design process for mechanisms with planar coupler curves for linear motion slideswas developed during conducting the senior project in China. It is targeted at small to medium sizecompanies, and incorporates tools from several general as well as specific design processes. The processconcentrates on conceptual design, includes elements of redesign based on modified design

The result is that students are forced to return to theexcitement of racing just frequently enough that they are reminded of the excitement and stay engaged. 3Despite the programs focus on undergraduate studies, graduates that continue on for a master‟s or PhD,typically use the race shop as a hang out, working on pet projects, and continuing to support the raceteams they crewed on in their undergraduate years. This beneficial support of the teams complements thefaculty effort to guide and lead the teams through the engineering of the race cars.Students and race team internshipsBecause of the great need for race team engineers and because of

the end of the 19th century,Lukens began keeping records of the plate defects and their sources. All of these books were the end product of multiple routines of record keeping by people on thefactory floor and many of them have fingerprints and handprints on them. They are similar to the daybook, journal, and ledger, in that they record data into a transitional location before entering the finalresults into ledgers. However, they are different in that it was a works-wide record keeping project, ratherthan the work of a single clerk or owner. The processes were becoming more complex and more peoplehad to participate in the written record keeping in order to gain the knowledge necessary to analyze andcontrol the industrial

to certain ground surfaces because they are rigid and donot allow for a normal gait. Therefore this causes excessive moment and shear force to occur andconsequently compensation occurs at the stump and socket interface. This will later in turn causecomplications of pressure sores and discomfort along the stump. In the biomechanics lab at MercerUniversity, students have been involved in several research projects and lab works relating to lowerextremity biomechanics using gait analysis system and measure moment and reaction forces.The authors used Pro-E to model a mobile (full range of motion at the ankle level) and immobile (rigidand no motions occur at the ankle joint) prosthetic devices and analyzed the shear stress in the pylons andsockets

For example, student-faculty interaction is significantly correlated with college GPA, college retention, graduating with honors, andenrollment in graduate school. Effective student-faculty interaction can take many forms (Kuh & Hu, 2001).Interaction in classroom includes discussion on course-related topics or offering academic advice. Interactionout of classroom includes conversations on non-academic related topics, or faculty-supervised internships andresearch opportunities. In particular, Bjorklund, et. al.
