channel for charge flow. A large amount of current (up to 30kAmps) called the return stroke then flows out of the channel starting from thebottom part of the channel first and then from higher regions. A shockwavemoving upward at speeds of approximately 1.1x108 m/s forms at the leading edge(furthest from earth) of the downward moving charge and it is this shockwavewhich we perceive as lightning. Although there are return strokes starting fromthe cloud and traveling downward, most return strokes travel upward. The highspeed of the shockwave and amount of visible light given off and the persistenceof human vision make it nearly impossible to determine which direction theshockwave is moving without using cameras or other equipment3.Lightning is

In order to determine which department wasrepresented, it was necessary to search the ETD database by the given department name (such asEDAC), determine the department(s) from which the faculty advisory committee members came,and make a departmental assignment for the ETD.Although students should be allowed to enter a free text term describing their degree, they shouldalso be required to choose a department and college from a controlled vocabulary list. Perhapsdrop down lists could be used, forcing students to choose the college and department that issuethe degree. Page 5.253.16By standardizing the department and college names, it

By under-standing the basic approach of the modeling, the student can make a more informed interpretationof the results to decide if they make sense.
