In fact, since the 1990’s, larger corporations in the U. S. seekingto gain a competitive edge have been downsizing while small businesses have been creating newjobs – a net of over 80%12. However, only “[a] small number of innovative start-ups account fora disproportionately large number of new jobs” 13.

The velocity profile for fully developed laminar pipe flow is parabolic in shape but there are four different layers of the turbulent pipe flow velocity profile including viscous sub- layer, buffer layer, overlap layer and the turbulent layer. Experimental turbulent pipe velocity profiles are often compared with the power law velocity profile. The influence of rotation on pipe flow is determined by the swirl number S = Uw /Um where Uw =D/2 is the velocity of the pipe wall and is the angular velocity of the rotating pipe.

Additionally, the integrated circuit employed is very simple and the studentsmust actually encode and decode the actual "1's and 0's" of the message at the very lowest level.For most students, this represents their first exposure to wireless systems and communicationsconcepts. We expose the students to error detection techniques at both the bit and message level,and introduce very rudimentary methods of implementing a messaging protocol. Additionally,although it is rather ad hoc, the students develop a sense of the directionality of the on-boardantenna, and gain insight as to how noise affects achievable communications rates.

factors have been identified that could affectconstruction safety. Among these factors is the provision of construction safety education toengineering students. It is also believed that there is a greater ability to influence safety on aproject earlier in the project‟s life cycle and such ability diminishes as the schedule moves fromconceptual design toward start-up. Thus, provision of construction safety education toengineering students will have benefits both for the project design and later in the procurementstage.Construction safety education for engineering students may involve two main aspects;construction site safety and design for construction safety (DfCS). Progress has been made inthe developed countries to incorporate both aspects in

Early discussions werefocused on the shifting of power from the teacher to the student: empowering the students, expandand encourage interaction among students and changing the major information flow away fromone-to-many (old traditional instruction). In another well-known research by Craik and Lockhart,it was proven that learning and retention are related to the depth of mental processing [3].

engineering majors at the start of the course, seven were determined to beknowledgeable about the major. By the end of the course, five of the seven demonstrated astrengthened interest in civil engineering with a positive interest score. The score for one of theother two students was zero, indicating that that student’s interest did not change. The studentreported an interest of 5 in civil engineering and 1’s for the other three disciplines on both initialand final surveys. The remaining student scored a -1, and although that student reported a 5 incivil engineering in both surveys, she reported an increase in interest from 3 to 4 in one of theother disciplines.Industrial EngineeringThere was only one industrial engineering major was interested and

71.1% of thestudents reported that this course was important in their decision to studying engineering or CSin college. 85.8% of the students would recommend this course to their friends. The majority ofthe students (85.8%) reported that they would definitely or probably major in computer sciencein college. All of the students indicated that they would major in engineering related fields incollege.The survey results were analyzed by single sample t-test to determine whether the observedmean is different from a set value. Results of the t-tests showed that students’ evaluation on theircomputer knowledge was very positive (mean = 4.71, standard deviation, S. D. = 0.49; t = 3.87;p = 0.008). In addition, students’ perceptions toward CS were
