Other visualizations are based on examples thatdemonstrate the underlying concept of Divergence and Stoke's Theorems. After these vectorcalculus topics, the module includes visualizations on a broad range of EM topics such as:transverse electromagnetic (TEM) wave propagating across a coaxial cable, an animated particleaccelerator model, and plane waves that are incident on semi-infinite dielectric interfaces.

–12. In an even broader context, engineering has a culture of militarismand a focus on industries and companies. Defense contractors that work with the governmentseem to be the largest employers of engineers and a large amount of research funds are pouredinto engineering and defense related projects 18. Militarism is also deeply entrenched inengineering education, making a strong presence in classroom culture (rigidity of assignmentdeadlines, marginalization of women, extremely intense time-constrained exams, etc.) and inengineering education content in the form of military examples in textbooks for example 18,29.More importantly to our point, this military culture can manifest in students emotionallydistancing themselves from the technology

It looks like agiant trashbin with a filter on top. Once submerged, an underwater pump suctions water throughthe top, and trash is pulled inside and drops into a catch bag, which is fine enough to filter outmicroplastics and oil. However, it too is very limited, collecting only about 1,000 pounds peryear [82]. It is also requires relatively high maintenance: emptying the catch

Engineering and Language Attitudes in the U.S. A QuandaryGlobalization and the international projection of engineering In the last 30 years, the literature on engineering education has been paying increasingattention to the changes that the field has experienced due to the advancement of globalization.The goal of this concerted effort is to determine and validate the set of skills the job marketdemands from the engineer in the 21st century. There is consensus among researchers that in the context of globalization the U.S.engineering programs either adapt their curricula to meet the expectations of the globalworkforce or take the risk of becoming irrelevant [1]. Irrelevance refers to the currentcurriculum
