graduate student mentors and SURE participants is a vitalaspect of establishing strong mentoring relationships. During the 2005 SURE programthe SURE Program Coordinator was solely responsible for the pairing of studentparticipants with graduate student mentors. However, in the 2006 SURE program,graduate student mentors were given the opportunity to select student participants tomentor. Selection was based upon evaluation of a list that included the studentparticipant’s home school, hometown, research area, and faculty advisor. A maximum oftwo and a minimum of one SURE participant(s) were given to each graduate mentor.Graduate student mentor opinions were solicited in the 2006 SURE program. Thisincreased participation in program activities amongst

Page 13.1032.1© American Society for Engineering Education, 2008 Reliability of Bridges: Significant Addition to Civil Engineering CurriculumAbstractRapid highway system development in the United States in the 1960’s and 1970’s has resulted ina large number of bridges reaching a stage in need of repair, rehabilitation, or replacement.Truck loads have also been steadily increasing since then. This has made the situation evenworse. Many developed countries are currently experiencing a problem of aging
m =0 m yk +m , where xm is a sample of the transmittedsignal and yk+m is a sample of the return signal, 0 ≤ k ≤ N – 1, and N is the number of samples ineach sequence.Programming ConsiderationsThe program consists of a main form with three plots. User controls allow changes in thefollowing parameters: the number of cycles, amplitude, and frequency of the transmitted pulse;the delay of the received signal; and the type and amplitude of the noise. Additional controlsallow the user to have the program generate a new noise sample or display a histogram of thenoise in a pop-up window. The S/N ratio in the simulated signal plus noise is also displayed.The topmost plot displays the transmitted

Given these goals, it is important that SJSU contribute notonly research and development but also well-educated graduates to advance the cause of thisimportant endeavor.At the state level in California, energy research will be accelerated by state law AB 32. AB 32mandates aggressive standards for emissions in California by 2020. Economists have found that,in order to meet AB 32’s goals, businesses will generate tens of thousands of new jobs forCalifornia2. According to a World Wide Fund for Nature study3, California is expected to gainover 140,000 new clean tech jobs by 2020. Along with new jobs, Californian industries willinvest heavily in research and development efforts in renewable energy.When it comes to developing

The students were carefully and closely mentored by aninterdisciplinary team of faculty members from various departments within the Colleges ofEngineering and Science. The participating students learned to use computational tools needed toengage in multidisciplinary UAV research projects. They learned to do the scientific literaturereview, and had an opportunity to improve written and oral communication skills. Theparticipants were required to present a poster, give an oral presentation of the research, and submitabstract (s) to student and/or professional conferences. In addition, the students participated in aseries of research symposium and seminars designed to expose them to a range of research topics

The objectives of both the projects are:(i) to expand and diversify the engineering/technology workforce of the future, (ii) to developlinkages and articulations with 2-year schools and their S-STEM programs, (iii) to provideincreased career opportunities and job placement rates through mandatory paid co-opexperiences, and (iv) to serve as a model for other universities to provide vertical transferstudents access to the baccalaureate degree.The Transfer Pipeline (TiPi) project awarded 25 new scholarships

By doing so, the validity and reliability of the recommendations and implications canbe strengthened through maximum information and perspective, corroboration of data, andreduction of bias [18, 19].

This is contrary to all current thermodynamic textbooks in whichtemperature-entropy (T-s) diagrams are used to represent steam power plants. This standardtextbook approach is non-intuitive in that there is no indication of the turbine power output, andincorrect in that the ideal feedwater pump process is always represented by a line when in fact itshould be closer to a single point.Another significant departure from traditional thermodynamic texts is the use of the ideal Stirlingcycle machine to represent the ideal reversible machine.

For example, for 18 yearsIndianapolis, Indiana has hosted a Spirit & Place Festival (S&P). The S&P describes itself as acivic collaboration of the arts, humanities and religion. The festival committee explains its goalby saying that it “mobilizes ideas, brings disparate people and organizations together to partnerand converse, and sparks action for the common good.
