students’conceptual understanding as they explore and make sense of phenomena on their own terms.Relevant education courses provide the theoretical underpinnings of inquiry teaching andlearning, and the re-design of engineering course curricula from traditional lecture to problem-based learning (a form of inquiry) provides the practice of the theory. This theory-informs-practice model provides future teacher-engineers with the knowledge and experience to teach insuch a manner that both engages K-12 students in their learning and exciting them aboutengineering as a career option.AAAS, American Association for the Advancement of Science.

. Descriptive studies suggest intellectual gain is associatedwith undergraduate research [8]. A few very well-designed assessment studies have demonstratedthat students involved in research perceive an intellectual gain from such experiences. This type ofproject is quite suitable for Independent Study/Research by a student or a group of students. For thistype of study, the Faculty prepares a contract for the student(s) that details the scope of work to beaccomplished and the deliverables including a final report detailing the procedures and resultsobtained. It is known that research invariably leads to a better understanding of and a deeperappreciation for the material under investigation.Several undergraduate Construction Management Technology

Systemizing is defined as the drive andability to analyze the rules underlying a system, in order to predict its behavior and appears to becentral to the understanding of engineering. Empathizing is defined as both the interest andability to identify another's mental states and to respond to these with one of a range ofappropriate emotions.10The SQ-EQ model places these cognitive styles in tension and compares the relative strength ofthese styles within individuals as a predictor of their cognitive behavior. For example, S>E is anindividual that favors systemizing thinking over empathizing thinking, while E>S is anindividual that

If the weight of theoverhanging section of chain is sufficient to overcome friction, it causes the remainder of thechain to smoothly unwind from the drumThe axle diameter is 10 cm, and the width of the drum is 0.75 m. The gap between the drum andaxle is 2 mm wide, and is filled with a lubricant that has a viscosity of 0.5 kg/m-s. 1. Develop the governing differential equation for V(x), where V is the speed of the falling chain, and x is the length of chain that has unwound from the drum at any instant. 2. Obtain an analytical solution for V(x) by assuming that friction between the shaft and the drum is negligible. 3. Obtain a numerical solution for V(x) when x0 < x <
