Describe the role of energy in a global context 2. Locate and use data on thermodynamic properties of common gases and liquids 3. Perform thermodynamic analyses that follow a standardized format and include appropriate sketches, assumptions, and citations 4.

Instructor training required to teach the safety course, curriculum providedto students and other benefits of a 30-hour OSHA safety course are discussed.IntroductionConstruction safety is a critical consideration for all construction project managers. Anoutstanding safety program can increase the “productivity and competitiveness of a firm. Anyfirm that invests in safety practices is going to experience a positive return on their investment(ROI).” [1] Other benefits include a smooth running job, increased job satisfaction amongemployees and fewer potential court cases and legal liabilities.

Representatives from three ERCs and one NNCI NetworkNode, in collaboration with their external evaluation teams, have established a consortium tobetter address these challenges. The assembled consortium is uniquely situated to cooperativelytackle these challenges because they are co-located at the same university.

Inthis case, the student will evaluate their chosen methods and then determine if they shouldcontinue the course they are on or should instead make any necessary changes.

In the case of cadets at USAFA, it is important to notethat a grade point average is not the only grading metric used, but is instead one of three.Cadets also receive cumulative grades based on their physical and military performance

This is particularly true within Biomedical Engineering (BME), a fieldthat is amid a 10-year estimated 23% employment growth (2014-2024) [4]. Gender and ethnic diversity inparticular have been studied to develop interventions aimed to support, graduate, and retain a larger and morediverse population into the engineering workforce [1]. Despite these efforts, diversity in both the biomedical andthe general engineering workforce as a whole has remained low [2]. This paper aims to further the knowledge ofthe diversity gap by exploring the relationship between diversity and

An individual may have severalintersecting identities such as a personal identity (individual characteristics), social identity (groupcharacteristics, cultural characteristics), and professional identity [6]-[8]. The development ofprofessional identity has been studied in context of various professions such as medicine [8], healthcare [9], pharmacy [10], and higher education [11], [12].

When this happens, additional costs in scrap and reworkwould result and may extend to warranty charges and customer dissatisfaction shouldunacceptable products find their way to the customer.In this paper, issues resulting from tolerance stack-up in capstone production will be addressed.The questions this paper will attempt to answer are: (1) Are students aware of the impact oftolerance stack-up in product development, and (2) What can be done to minimize the potentialeffects of tolerance stack-up before

In an era of mobile and ubiquitous computing, a competent embeddeddevice should have a real-time operating system (RTOS) to make full use of its potentials and toaccommodate task needs. Deploying an RTOS also makes the programming job of embeddedsystem engineers easier. Instead of embedded system engineers writing their own code

Their framework for cultural studiesdescribes culture as a context in which “individuals living and working in a particular spatial andtemporal location are challenged by dominant images” and these dominant images “createexpectations about how individuals in that location are expected to act or behave” [1, p. 5].Individuals connected to a specific culture may respond to the same image differently and theymay resist, adapt, or accept such image in various ways.

Learning must be Cumulative: The subject matter is not learned by the student in great depth at one long stretch. On thecontrary, the topics are introduced gradually and repeatedly. Furthermore, the level ofcomplexity of subject matter should increase with the progression of time. This is very muchtrue in the area of Advanced Engineering Mathematics. For example, students understand theprinciples of integration initially. Later on, they proceed to learn about Contour Integral,Surface Integral and Triple Integrals.2.
