and satisfying way than working at it individually with no interaction.IntroductionWhen new faculty members are hired and enter the tenure process, their success or failuredepends on a number of factors. Several of the most important factors include theirpersonal motivation and attitude toward the requirements of a career in academia, thepromotion and tenure philosophy at their institution, and the support of and interactionwith colleagues they will be working with. At the University of Pittsburgh at Johnstown(UPJ) a peer leadership model has been used to create an atmosphere of cooperation andcollaboration between the untenured engineering technology faculty members to assisteach other through the tenure process.An undergraduate teaching

The manuscript begins with a basic review of engineering calculationswith an emphasis on elaborating the physical variables, which are introduced in the context ofdifferent biomedical technologies. The fundamental framework of the conservation laws isdescribed in Chapter 2.Chapters 3-6 cover conservation of mass, energy, charge, and momentum in biomedical systems.Each chapter begins with a

The BOK can be attained through a combination of formaleducation, both baccalaureate and post-baccalaureate, and experience. Several engineeringcolleges, including Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology (RHIT), were invited by TCAP3 todesign model curricula compliant with the formal education component of the BOK. We willdiscuss the process used to evaluate our curriculum with the goal of designing a BOK curriculumwithin our four-year undergraduate program. Interestingly, TCAP3 did not explicitly designatewhat parts of the formal education are to be attained in a

Converting the end-use technologies to hydrogen allows theconsumption of hydrocarbon fuels with large-scale carbon management schemes in place at thepoint of hydrogen production. In addition, once the supply infrastructure and end-usetechnologies for using hydrogen are in place, then the evolution towards hydrogen productionfrom renewable energy resources becomes transparent to the user. 2The major driving force of internal combustion engine technology development during the lastthree decades has been the environment. Industry is facing zero regulated emissions as well assubstantial reductions in CO2 emissions. Although hydrogen fueled fuel cells are beingconsidered as a promising candidate for the future, there are two
availability of people with these skills is making it difficult for U. S, industries to compete in the international market. To function effectively in today’s technological society, contribute to its growth, reap its benefits, and minimize its hazards, knowledge of the technology is essential. This is true whether one is pursuing a career in business, economics, law, education, health care, mathematical, physical or social sciences, humanities or the arts. Academic institutions, particularly engineering schools, have the primary responsibility for producing new graduates in sufficient numbers and with adequate knowledge of science and technology and skill to meet the needs of the industry and the society.

Many colleges across thenation have witnessed growing enrollment in this rapidly changing field. Classically, electricmachines and power electronics have been taught as two separate entities independent from eachother. This is the case in most engineering institutions with graduate courses, since powerelectronics has many other industrial applications. However, teaching modern machines withvariable-speed drives is no longer possible without considerable knowledge of powerelectronics1.The traditional approach in engineering technology education has been to offer students
