Observation of engineering classes at different levels. 2. Supervised assistance teaching a variety of engineering courses to develop a variety of pedagogical models and options. 3. Developing course(s) for HU, particularly in an electronic/computer-based classroom or for distance learning environment. One point of emphasis is the development of future shared projects between UH and HU students. 4. Observation, study, and practice of administrative and management skills, including ongoing faculty and curriculum development and revision. 5

a methanol removal step, thePurolite® will not last as long as. Typically, one pound of Purolite® can be used to filter 1500-2000 pounds of biodiesel (200-275 gallons). Because this process does not use a pre-methanolrecovery system, it is estimated that the Purolite®’s useful life is half of what is normallyexpected (this applies to the lead tower only). For the lag tower, the operator can monitor thecondition of the fuel exiting, and once signs of impurities are noticed the media should beremoved. Purolite® can be regenerated (i.e. cleaned) by soaking in methanol (7). Afterregeneration, the ―dirty‖ methanol can be re-used as a reactant. However, it should not be usedin greater concentrations than 50% re-used methanol to unused methanol

.      CA ResearchCommunity Colleges across the country, including those in California, are devoted to increasingstudent retention, success, persistence, and completion of a certificate, degree or transfer to asenior university. This can be accomplished, according to recent research, by having students tochoose their major(s) early, rather than accumulating credits that do not apply directly to theirmajor. The results of a research by Moore and Shulock6 point to three recommendations: 1. Entering a program of study is a critical milestone on the path to completing a college certificate or degree; 2. Choosing a major early, the more likely they are to complete a certificate, degree or transfer; and 3

Naturally, as the blue prints used by both were the same, equivalentperformance was anticipated from both. But this was not the case when the field history resultscame in after some use of the jets in the field.What was found was that the Japanese built planes had a mean-time-between-failure (MTBF)reliability that was twice as that of the U.S. F-16’s! Such a difference in performance cannot beattributed purely to chance. There has to be an uncommon cause that resulted in this. Onconducting an analysis, it was found that the U.S. manufacturers used the full spectrum oftolerance that was available to them, whereas
