He has five Patents for inventions that involve interdisciplinary areas of mechanical engineering, design and computer science. Dr. Shetty has led several successful multi insti- tutional engineering projects. In partnership with Albert Einstein College, he invented the mechatronics process for supporting patients with ambulatory systems for rehabilitation. Major honors received by Pro- fessor Shetty include the James Frances Bent Award for Creativity, the Edward S. Roth National Award for Manufacturing from the Society of Manufacturing Engineers, the American Society of Mechanical Engineer Faculty Award, and the Society of Manufacturing

granularity offluid behavior at the membrane interface. The heat map of the velocity across the in-line chevronfeed spacer in Figure 1 (left image) enables identification of locations of low velocity within thecell. Figure 1 portrays areas of velocity less than 4 in/s via the dark blue color (the inlet velocity),which is within the range of typical inlet velocities for spiral wound element configurations. Thespacer geometry also increases the velocity toward the top of the inlet as the pressure increases inthat region due to the chevron obstructing the fluid path. The model provides an additionalcapability to evaluate pressure change over time (Figure 2).Figure 1. Velocity heat maps enabling visualization of velocity across feed spacers to

The stories of KatherineGoble, Mary Johnson, Dorothy Vaughan, and JoAnn Morgan who all worked in the STEM fieldsat NASA in the 1960’s serve to illustrate this point.

of proficiency in orthographic knowledge of the lan-guage, spelling homophones is a difficult task even for students who have phonological background[2], [3]. Misuse of homophones is one of the common mistakes in student essays.- He is alot higher then his brother. (incorrect) He is a lot higher than his brother. (correct)- There book had great affect on the society. (incorrect) Their book had great effect on the society. (correct)There are many other grammatical issues observed in students’ writing, in addition to the misuse ofhomophones. Subject-verb disagreement is another issue seen in written and spoken language. Forinstance, “The children likes to play football.” While the subject is plural, the verb has a suffix “-s”,which is
