means that the partner(s) must be carefully selected fora high level of “goodness of fit”. Essentially, the authors’ position is that success depends onestablishing a few very effective, and in-depth/extensive collaborations as contrasted topursuing numerous shallow, more casual and not well developed relationships. While thelatter can be fun and interesting, typically they will not lead to extensive student and facultyexchanges – the ultimate performance metric.Our experience was one which began with strong and consistent signals by institutional andunit leaders. Together with seed funding, this established a context that evidencedcommitment by our leaders. Complementing the long term perspective referred to in theabove paragraphs, was an

interested in the history of science and technology might find it ironic that aGerman professor was complaining about the absence of laboratories when Germanyconsidered itself the birthplace of the university laboratory. Furthermore, Germantechnical universities, especially the earliest one in Karlsruhe, were models for MIT,Cornell and Stevens.26 The chemical laboratory of Justus von Liebig at the University ofGiessen dates to the 1820’s and 1830s13; indeed one of Liebig’s American students, EbenN. Horsford, is usually credited with introducing laboratories to American universitieswhen he became professor of chemistry at Harvard University in 184714. But thetechnical universities in Germany faced a struggle for standing in the academic worldwith

Therefore, to ensure accuratesimulation when using Euler’s one-step integration routine, h must be less than .Furthermore, since transient behavior of a low-pass filter can include overshoot, a scaling factoris needed to ensure that the output of the filter simulation lies within the allowable range of -1 to+1. Difference equations are used in the LPFTPLT program to simulate the transfer function ofequation (1). The dynamic behavior of this low-pass filter can be described by the following statevariable equations: ̇ = ̇ = ̇ = ̇ = Page 23.20.5

Observation of engineering classes at different levels. 2. Supervised assistance teaching a variety of engineering courses to develop a variety of pedagogical models and options. 3. Developing course(s) for HU, particularly in an electronic/computer-based classroom or for distance learning environment. One point of emphasis is the development of future shared projects between UH and HU students. 4.
