engineering positions.ResultsP1’s Mental ModelThe concept map representation of P1’s mental model is shown in Figure 1. The focus of P1’smodel of voltage and current is through the mathematical relationship, V = I * R (where V =voltage, I = current, and R = resistance), or its permutation, I = V / R. The three variables in theequation are treated as mathematical quantities, with no direct reference to anything physical.Thus, in the first equation, when V changes, I must change proportionately; but in the secondequation, if I increases, then V must increase and R must decrease. P1 states that this only workssome of the time, but P1 does not know what to do when it does not. The terms “voltage” and“current” are often used together, with the idea that

The common theme of both of these programs is that they are focused onthe creation of a technologically advanced robot and framed into a fun competition that engagespupils. They have found a great way to leverage the intrinsic behavioral and intrinsicpsychological motivators. The merit of this recruiting methodology was reinforced whileserving as a mentor in the FIRST

The simulation produces two ofthese inputs, one for the left side and one for the right side of the simulated system. Both values arepropagated straight into the FL controller. The Fuzzy Logic controller contains two input membershipfunctions (MF). The functions are identical, but one processes the left sensor inputs and the otherprocesses the right sensor inputs. Five linguistic variables were used as: {VS, S, M, W, VW } denotingVery Strong , Strong , Medium, Weak, and Very Weak. An input falling within the VS membershipcategory indicates and object is very close, and conversely an input within the VW membership categorymeans an object

 Engineering Education  This paper attempts to quantify the hiring pattern in the field of EE/CS at the top 10 electricalengineering research programs in the United States. This is important as people who have trainedat great length and expense to be researchers confront a swindling number of academic jobs5. In1974, fewer than 30% of all science and engineering (S&E) Ph.D.s were working in industry,and more than 45% were in tenure-track faculty positions. By 1999, the trend had reversed withnearly 38% S&E Ph.D.s who had received their training in the United States were working in industry, whereas about 25% were working in a tenure‐track position in academe5.  MethodologyColleges and universities now customarily provide information about their

IPnetworks each month in 2016 1. The growing demands for bandwidth and capacity requirecontinuous upgrades in the optical communication network: the faster network speed (40Gb/s 100Gb/s  400Gb/s) and expanded network topologies (Long haul, Metropolitan, Access, Fiberto the Home). From the educational institutes’ standpoint, we must make sure that our graduateshave the knowledge and practical training to support the on-going changes. In response to these demands, the School of Engineering at Grand Valley State Universitydeveloped a three-credit senior elective course EGR458 “Introduction to Fiber Optics” in 2009 2.For the first two offerings, short active-learning exercises were supplemented for the lecture.Feedback from students showed that
