engineers and scientists continues to rise faster than thesupply. The US is simply not producing the numbers of engineers and scientists needed. Couplethis with the fact that there is a huge wave of baby boomers reaching retirement age thatcurrently provide a great amount of scientific and engineering services. We all are facing asubstantial problem. This problem is magnified for DoD which requires that its workforce be UScitizens capable of obtaining the appropriate level of security clearances. The need for UScitizens working in Science and Engineering (S&E) will continue to be in demand as technologycontinues to advance exponentially and the need for S&E in our nations defense continues. Thispaper explores a comprehensive and proactive

demonstrates some basic concepts of subsonic flow using a nominal 50m/s wind tunnel. A variable pitch NACA 0015 symmetric airfoil equipped with 11 surfacepressure taps spans the tunnel test section and a multi-tube water manometer board is used tomonitor the surface pressures and provides a visual display of the dynamic changes associatedwith varying angles of attack. A Pitot-static (Prandtl) tube is mounted at the front of the testsection to measure the static and impact pressures required to determine the flow velocity. Thedynamic pressure from the Pitot-static tube is measured using a Betz manometer, which isremotely observable using a webcam.The pressure from the airfoil pressure taps is measured using a Scanivalve® pressure transducersystem that

the integrated laboratory resources. We also plan toevaluate how this new integrated laboratory affects teaching and the learning experience. Finally,we will continue to expand the integrated curriculum and laboratory, such as setting up a student-operated Network Operations Center (NOC) for the campus or even the local region and addingwireless cellular communications to the laboratory.Bibliography1.

given to Page 14.231.5graduate students participating in a course on semiconductor design at the nanoscale level. Thesurvey was administered in the fall semester of 2008 to 47 students and 19 students completedthe survey. The survey was designed with two main intentions: a) monitoring the usage of thenanoHUB.org and b) assessing instructors’ incorporation of the tool(s) as part of their course.The students were asked to participate in a voluntary Likert-scale survey focused on: - How students perceive simulation tools as useful for their learning, - How students thought the simulation tools were relevant to their areas of interest

(e.g., www.omega.com). Please write a memorandum to SciToy Inc. describing in detail the decisions you made in developing your model to address their request. This should reveal your thought process during model development. Please attach the model(s) used to this memo.A Possible Solution ProcessIn responding to this request from SciToy Inc., students will likely go through some version ofthe following modeling process: 1) Estimate the initial temperature and pressure 2) Determine the initial system volume 3) Determine the final volume 4) Calculate the initial mass of the system 5) Calculate the final mass of the system 6) Model the process to estimate the final pressure a.

kinematics of the robotic arm. Theexperiment only gives the user control over the angular positions of the servomotors of therobotic arm. Hence, the user computes the forward kinematics and then the inversekinematics for the individual gripper positions necessary to carry out the instructor specifiedtask (for example, a pick and place routine).The resulting angular positions arrived at for each of the positions which the robotic arm isdesired to move through are placed in tabular form. These values are now entered in this VIand the execute button is clicked on. Error checking is first done to ensure that the enteredvalues lie within the specified ranges of motion of each motor. If there is an error in theentered value(s), an error message to that
