industry standards through theireducation [2].The ACCE standards, before the change to Student Learning Outcomes (SLO) were developed inthe 1990’s and were periodically revised and updated. A three-level structure (curriculumcategories, core subject matter & fundamental topical content) for setting the standards for thecurriculum content came into force in 2002 following almost 10 years of committee work [11].That curriculum standards were prescriptive that required a minimum number of credit hours tobe taught in specific core subject matter and all fundamental topical content to be covered.Within each curriculum category, there was a specific core subject matter that has to be includedin the curriculum. In most cases, a minimum number of
-relatedpositions [7]. Similarly, business ethics arose from philosophers’ interest in understanding whatconstitutes right and wrong behavior in the context of competitive financial transactions [8]. As aprogram of inquiry, some have dated the historical roots of business ethics to the mid 1970’s,when the first academic conference in business ethics was held [9]. Indeed, some of the samephilosophers interested in applied and practical ethics crossed contextual boundaries, applyingthe same structures of thought to several disciplinary realms. Bioethicist Tom Beauchamp is agood example of such cross-overs, having published one of the earliest anthologies in businessethics [10] just a few years after publishing his major work in bioethics.The same holds for
andreferential language to communicate conceptual understandings. Finally, the holistic applicationof rubrics to interview data allowed for understandings of the engineering design process to beexpressed in multiple ways: both implicit and explicit understandings could be expressed byparticipants and then scored by analysts’ application of the rubrics to each participant’s interviewas a whole.References[1] E.

conceptualprimitive works. Then a final project was created in the course (2010~2013); students wererequired to finish a group project adopting the primitives lectured in the classes. Studentstaking the EOS course could thus be well trained and solve problems as expected. However,we got some feedbacks from graduated students, who asked to introduce more skills ofinnovation and imagination in such a course. Their values can be demonstrated not only fromtheir competencies of hands-on skills but also from designing a new product. Hence, in the fourth phase (2014~2016), CIM was adopted and SCAMPER wasintroduced in the EOS courses. Students were encouraged to put more innovation skills intotheir final project.

generation from a majorityof these sources is based on either of the two main thermodynamic cycles: Rankine and Braytoncycles. To help understand the working of these cycle and the components involved in the powergeneration process, an animation is added that explains the working of each of the cycles on a step-by-step basis. Simultaneous to the animation, the thermodynamic graphs (h-s and P-v charts) usedin textbooks to explain the processes are also shown as animations, which helps the participantunderstand the process thoroughly. The charts provide the properties (temperatures, pressures, andspecific volume) of the working fluid, which aids in design calculations required to achieve thedesired power output.

that the population in the United States is nolonger as diverse as it once was[5]. As people have emigrated from all parts of the world,cultural groups are represented in much different percentages than 10 years ago. Over the lastcentury much of the diversity evident in the early 1900’s has assimilated into what is referred toas a melting pot, constantly changing. However, universities do not reflect the type and level ofdiversity of the current population[2, 3]. Both of the engineering and engineering technologyprograms, despite higher levels of one underrepresented group or another, still has much higherlevels of white students. Thus the general population that was once in the minority are moving toa more balanced number as related to the

Themotion of the particle is constrained to have constant velocity and solutions are usually foundusing three classic kinematics equations. The problem description below shows three points ofinterest in the trajectory, A, B, and C. Each point can have specified its position, S, or velocity,V. Since acceleration in projectile motion is constant, only two constant values, the x- and y-components, are necessary to define the acceleration at all points along the trajectory.
