’ confidence in this topic. As the graduate students were only required tocomplete an assignment on capacity fade mechanisms, they should be placed in small groupswith undergraduate students to discuss the information that they gathered from a thoroughreview of technical publications. This would build the confidence of the graduate students andwould also provide additional exposure of the topics to the undergraduate students.References 1.

Parameters arediscussed and evaluated before the column is made. The composite is then fabricated. Finally,the composite is tested and the experimental data (‘critical load’ for columns) is compared topredictions.Introduction:The National Educator’s Workshop requires certain information be provided in the manuscript.This information includes ‘Key Words’, ‘Target Grade Level(s)’, ‘Prerequisite Knowledge’,‘Objectives’, and ‘Equipment and Supplies Needed’ are shown below.

Due to the large size of the polymers and the fluorescent dye on thetubulin proteins, the images could be easily seen by the students. A sample of the images isshown in Figure 2, below.

scaleapplications within the military sector during WWII and the late 1940’s and early 1950’s. Theunique combination of performance benefits offered by composite materials has now propelledits use into almost every industry sector within today’s global economy. Composites or morespecifically, Fiber Reinforced Polymers (FRP), consist of a polymer matrix, usually a thermosetplastic and a variety of reinforcements, including glass, carbon (graphite) and aramid (Kevlar)fibers. It is this unique combination of complementary properties that, when combined, create anentirely new material with very specific characteristics. This makes the design and use ofcomposites more desirable than some of the more traditional materials in many different

. For the non-functionalized alumina, the procedure involves the ultrasonic agitation of composition(s) (%wtof resin weight) of alumina in EPON™ resin. A 500W sonicator with a 20Khz frequency is usedto disperse alumina in the low viscosity resin. Sonication is carried out at 40% maximumamplitude with a unit mass rate of 3-5 mins. / gm of alumina. High amplitude and elongatedsonication can cause localized elevation of temperature in resin. This rate is also higher thanalumina dispersion in water and methanol mixture due to the higher viscosity of the resin system.It is also important to note that mechanical stirring is also carried out during sonicationprocedure to circulate the mixture and to avoid intercalated dispersion.

Some combination of work, family or geography made attendingtraditional classes at an institution offering an undergraduate mechanical engineering degreeunfeasible. The potential career benefits of an engineering degree tended to be the primarymotivator for participating in the distance program at UND. The school was chosen primarilydue to both its reputation and the fact that there are few, if any, other accredited undergraduatedistance mechanical engineering degree programs.References [1] Ibrahim, W. and R.

important aspect in this course. Whiledeveloping the curriculum, this topic was intended to be a smaller unit which would take oneweek to complete. The students were taught the different types of models, both physical andvirtual. They were also taught the situations where one would prefer one type of model overanother. For example, strength model v/s an elastic model. To increase student enthusiasm,the students were encouraged to make a model. This model could be any kind of model andof any size. The only requirement needed to discuss with the instructor and provide theinstructor with the estimated cost. This was done to ensure that the scope of the model wasfeasible, and it was within the budget. Students made a variety of models including
